Bentley Motors Limited (/ˈbɛntli/) is really a British manufacturer and internet marketer of luxury cars and SUVs—and a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group since 1998.
Headquartered in Crewe, Britain, the company was founded as Bentley Motors Restricted by W. O. Bentley in 1919 in Cricklewood, North London—and became broadly known for winning the particular 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, and 2003.
Prominent models extend from your historic sports-racing Bentley 4½ Litre and Bentley Speed Six; the a lot more recent Bentley R TypeContinental, Bentley Turbo R, plus Bentley Arnage; to the current model line—including the particular Continental Flying Spur, Continental GT, Bentley Bentayga and the Mulsanne—which are promoted worldwide, with China since its biggest market since November 2012.
Today the majority of Bentleys are assembled at the company's Crewe factory, along with a little number assembled from Volkswagen's Dresden factory, Australia, and with bodies with regard to the Continental produced in Zwickau and for the Bentayga created on the Volkswagen Bratislava Plant.
The joining plus eventual separation of Bentley and Rolls-Royce followed the series of mergers plus acquisitions, beginning with the particular 1931 purchase by Rolls-Royce of Bentley, then within receivership. In 1971, Rolls-Royce itself was forced directly into receivership and the UNITED KINGDOM government nationalised the company—splitting into two companies the aerospace division (Rolls-Royce Plc) and automotive (Rolls-Royce Motors Limited) divisions—the latter retaining the Bentley subdivision. Rolls-Royce Motors was subsequently sold to engineering conglomerate, Vickers and in 1998, Vickers sold Rolls-Royce to Volkswagen AG.
Intellectual property legal rights to both the name Rolls-Royce as well since the company's logo experienced been retained not by Rolls-Royce Motors, but simply by aerospace company, Rolls-Royce Plc, which had continued in order to license both to the automotive division. Thus the particular sale of "Rolls-Royce" to VOLKS WAGEN included the Bentley name and logos, vehicle designs, model nameplates, production and administrative facilities, the Soul of Ecstasy and Rolls-Royce grille condition trademarks (subsequently sold to BMW by VW)—but not the legal rights to the Rolls-Royce name or even logo. The aerospace organization, Rolls-Royce Plc, eventually offered both to BMW AG.
