2019 Bentley Flying Spur * Price * Specs * Release date * Interior

Bentley Motors Limited (/ˈbɛntli/) is a British manufacturer and online marketer of luxury cars and SUVs—and a subsidiary from the Volkswagen Group since 1998.

Headquartered in Crewe, Britain, the company was created as Bentley Motors Limited by W. O. Bentley in 1919 in Cricklewood, North London—and became broadly known for winning the 24 Hours of The Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, and 2003.

Prominent models expand through the historic sports-racing Bentley 4½ Litre and Bentley Speed Six; the more recent Bentley R TypeContinental, Bentley Turbo R, and Bentley Arnage; to its current model line—including the particular Continental Flying Spur, Ls GT, Bentley Bentayga plus the Mulsanne—which are promoted worldwide, with China because its most significant market since November 2012.

Today most Bentleys are assembled on the company's Crewe factory, along with a little number assembled at Volkswagen's Dresden factory, Germany, and with bodies with regard to the Continental made within Zwickau and for the Bentayga created in the Volkswagen Bratislava Plant.

The joining and 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 in to receivership and the UK government nationalised the company—splitting into two companies the aerospace division (Rolls-Royce Plc) and automotive (Rolls-Royce Engines Limited) divisions—the latter retaining the Bentley subdivision. Rolls-Royce Motors was subsequently marketed to engineering conglomerate, Vickers and in 1998, Vickers sold Rolls-Royce to Volkswagen AG.

Intellectual property rights to both the title Rolls-Royce as well since the company's logo experienced been retained not simply by Rolls-Royce Motors, but by aerospace company, Rolls-Royce Plc, which had continued to license both to the automotive division. Thus the sale for "Rolls-Royce" to VW included the Bentley title and logos, vehicle styles, model nameplates, production plus administrative facilities, the Soul of Ecstasy and Rolls-Royce grille form trademarks (subsequently sold to BMW by VW)—but not the legal rights towards the Rolls-Royce name or even logo. The aerospace business, Rolls-Royce Plc, in the end marketed both to BMW AG.
