This is how Bentley’s amazing rotating dashboard really works:
Delving into the technology behind the system for the first time, Bentley explained: “The Bentley Rotating Display took more than three years to develop from initial concept, with extensive testing undertaken to ensure the highest quality standard was consistently achieved. The feature is constructed from 153 individual components to form a three sided rotating display.”
All of this precision doesn’t come cheap. The BRD is a £4,700 option for buyers for the Continental GT and new Flying Spur to consider; without it they are left with the infotainment display and nothing else. Despite the high cost, Bentley says 70% of customers opt for the rotating display. That may sound surprising, but buyers of decade-old cars today will no doubt lament their prehistoric-looking infotainment displays. Technology moves at such a pace that, a decade down the line, the dashboards of today’s cars might look equally antiquated. To future proof this, being able to hide the display might one day be a prudent move....
In all, 40 moving components, including custom rotational and linear gearbox drive units mated to high-refinement motors, are used to move the feature. Everything is controlled by a dedicated computer, which dynamically adjusts the speed of rotation to account for variations in mechanical friction and battery voltage.
Finally, the ambient temperature is also taken into account, with the computer adjusting rotation speed and positioning to ensure optimal performance in any temperature up to 50 degrees centigrade.
