Our Heritage

At Bentley, every innovation is built on a century of heritage. From our founding in 1919 to our future-focused vision today, our story is driven by passion, craftsmanship, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.

  • OUR HISTORY

    Bentley was founded in 1919 by W.O. Bentley, and became renowned for extraordinary cars, innovative engineering and the highest quality craftsmanship. Our customers were equally renowned, and helped cement Bentley’s reputation for high performance with their racing exploits. Today, Bentley benefits from being part of the VW Group, opening up a world of opportunities, experiences and support.
