Extraordinary Heritage

An Extraordinary Journey

In 1919, it was Walter Owen (W.O.) Bentley’s genius that kick-started this iconic marque. He set out to make ‘a fast car, a good car, the best in its class.’ From this clear-sighted vision he created an extraordinary company that attracted visionaries, heroes of motorsport, adventurers and entrepreneurs from around the world. People with spirit, people with drive, people with imagination – people like you. You can meet some of them here.

Competition: tried and tested (to the limit) on the track

At the beating heart of our brand is the idea of competition. Of winning. In his youth, W.O. Bentley competed on two and four wheels long before he created the automotive company that we know today. He used his experience on the track to inform his understanding of engineering pushed to its absolute limits. This dedication attracted like-minded people who helped to realise a common purpose – to achieve something extraordinary. You can find out more about W.O. and his extraordinary vision here.
