The automaker, founded in 1919, now has plans to go all-electric.
Bentley is a legend among English carmakers. The company, founded more than 100 years ago, has put its winged logo on some of the most beautiful, luxurious, and powerful vehicles to grace the world’s roads. These days, Bentley is also in the process of going all-electric, but, in many ways, business for Bentley is better than ever,, the first time the automaker ever sold more than 15,000 cars.
That’s reflected in today’s Bentley, too, with around a third of sales in 2022 being its Continental and Continental GT, a model name that has been around at Bentley since 1952. A similar proportion of Bentleys sold are Flying Spurs, with a majority of those sold in the U.K. being hybrids. That is a hint to Bentley’s future, as it transitions into an EV company.
