To celebrate its landmark centenary year in 2019, Bentley will introduce a special edition model inspired by one of its iconic racing models, at the Geneva International Motor Show in March.

The company says in 1919 Walter Owen (W.O.) Bentley created a company with a simple objective: to build “a fast car, a good car, the best in its class”. 

The company says this guiding principle has driven Bentley ever since, pushing the brand forward and making it a leader in automotive luxury around the world.

Bentley produces the Bentayga SUV, the Continental, the Flying Spur and Mulsanne models.
