 Bentley Motors has unveiled the Bentayga Extended Wheelbase (EWB) Azure Riviera Collection. Following in the tracks of the first Riviera Collection for Continental GTC, launched in 2023, this new collection reimagines Bentley's iconic Bentayga in its long wheelbase model. The collection, like the earlier GTC Riviera Collection, pays tribute to the sophistication and serenity of modern yachting.

It features bespoke 22” five-spoke polished wheels with black-painted pockets as well as Aegean Blue painted lower brightware, front apron, and roof rail inserts. These, together with the Blackline Specification, highlight the vehicle’s refined silhouette and were deliberately chosen to emphasise the clean modern exterior design of modern luxury yachts.

Interior:

Inside, the Bentayga EWB Azure Riviera Collection features a sophisticated interior colour palette that includes Brunel secondary hide, Linen main hide, and Autumn accents. The new Pale Pinstripe Veneer, inspired by the light teak decks of luxury yachts, special Riviera Collection ‘knot’ embroidery on the headrests and "Azure" embroidery on the seat backs in Autumn accents underscore this collection's attention to detail and exclusivity.

satin paint film 1920x670.jpg

The Story of Bentley Satin paints by Mulliner

 A 55 HOUR LABOUR OF LOVE 

Bentley has extended its satin paint range to 15 exterior paint options.  To understand what makes Bentley satin paint so special, it is worth looking at the process that takes place to bring these stunning colours to fruition within our factory. Satin paint finishes are unique in the way they interact with light particles – scattering them across the surface of the car rather than reflecting them like gloss finishes do, meaning that satin paints very effectively accentuate the styling lines of Bentley’s cars.

Every Bentley that features a satin finish takes up to 55 hours to be painted, with the finish hand-applied by Bentley’s craftsmen and women in the Excellence Centre for Bespoke Paint. The car first arrives in its gloss colour, before being hand-sanded, cleaned, masked, then dusted and cleaned again before a clear lacquer is hand-applied in two stages in order to achieve a perfect and uniform satin finish. As with all Bentley vehicles, each car is inspected and signed off by an independent Production Quality Team that ensures every surface of every panel will exceed the customer’s expectations. 

After drawing inspiration from design technologies and trends to identify new colours to suit our customers preferences, each satin paint finish is developed by a team of experts at Bentley’s Dream Factory in Crewe, England, undergoing a meticulous set of testing processes that ensure the paint finish reflects Bentley’s commitment to the finest craftsmanship, quality and durability across every aspect of its cars.

Flying Spur 25MY tease1920x670.jpg

New ultra-performance powertrain for next generation Flying Spur

Bentley’s Flying Spur sedan – the ultimate four-door Grand Tourer - soon will be reborn with the new 782 PS (771 bhp) Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain, launched recently in the New Continental GT Speed. 

This new high-performance V8 hybrid powertrain will make the new Flying Spur the most powerful, most dynamic and most efficient four-door car in Bentley’s 105-year history.

The new Flying Spur will replace the current model, which was launched in 2019.

ALL-NEW ENGINE - PINNACLE PERFORMANCE

With 782 PS and 1000 Nm (738 lb.ft) available from the union of a new 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine with a powerful yet compact electric motor, the Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain is Bentley’s future, delivering astonishing flexibility from incredibly accessible supercar performance to silent, effortless electric luxury. When fitted to the new Flying Spur, the powertrain will create the ultimate Bentley sedan – potent and tranquil in equal measure, with the added benefit of soundless electric motoring for at least 45 miles. For the Flying Spur, CO2 emissions will be below 40 g/km, with an overall range of more than 500 miles – a truly modern grand tourer.

New Continental GT will make global debut at Goodwood Festival of Speed 2024

The new, fourth-generation Continental GT Speed will make its global public debut at this week’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. Fresh from claiming an unofficial ‘Underwater Speed Record’ – believed to be the fastest a car has ever travelled through a tunnel – the 208 mph / 335 km/h supercar will appear at the event in both coupe and convertible versions and run on the famous Goodwood Hill Climb twice a day from Thursday until Sunday.

Along with the two examples of the new Continental GT Speed that will appear on the Hill Climb at Goodwood, a third car will be on display at the Festival of Speed in a unique way to celebrate the underwater speed record. The ‘FOShtank’ is a bespoke version of the glass ‘Toy Box’ display units that Bentley utilises across it’s Dream Factory campus in Crewe, England, but modified to include a custom-built fish tank in a tongue-in-cheek take on the underwater theme.

The Tourmaline Green Continental GT Speed display car will appear behind a three-tonne fish tank containing 1,400 litres of water and 30 Shubunkins and other goldfish. Two separate tanks together weigh more than three tonnes when full, with the water held back by 80 mm thick acrylic sheets. Each tank is flow-rated and filtered to ensure the water is clean, and an on-site aquarium specialist will be looking after the welfare of the 30 occupants over the course of the Festival of Speed.  

See this and more from Bentley at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2024.

Bentley Batur Convertible by Mulliner - Design Inspiration

Introducing the new Bentley Batur Convertible by Mulliner.  Following the Batur coupe, the new Batur Convertible is coachbuilt from the ground up by our Mulliner Personal Commissioning department, showing the ultimate possibilities of open-top grand touring.  A supremely luxurious soft-top version of the Batur, the Batur Convertible offers an exquisite glimpse into the future of Bentley design.

Head of Bentley Exterior Design, Domen Rucijag, answers our questions about what inspired him and his team when designing this new coachbuilt convertible.          

Q. What was your key inspiration when designing this car?

DR:. The key inspiration was how to make car look slick, sporty and elegant but still recognizable as a Bentley and special as Mulliner coach build car. 

Q. What were the "dos and don'ts" when it came to creating this car, as an evolution of the BATUR Coupe? 

DR: The Coupe looks sporty but somehow from side view quite compact. So our task was to create a Convertible that looks as long and elegant as possible.

Q. How significant is this car to the future design language for Bentley?

DR: We in Exterior Design have 3 principles that we are working on: Resting Beast, Upright Elegance and Endless Bonnet Line. Batur was the first car where the design was based on this language. But because we designers are always looking to the future, it is important to understand the principles we work with,  but also to build and create new futures…

Q. What is your favourite design feature on the car?

DR: The back spoiler called the 'Duck Tail'.  It makes the rear of the car look wide but also sporty at the same time. 

Q. What are your hopes for Mulliner in the future as a designer?

DR: I am really excited about the Mulliner future! Together whit Mulliner and Design team we are working on super exiting projects! So I see the future super bright and super exiting! We are just starting!

Q. Why is Mulliner great for Bentley?

DR: Mulliner is great for Bentley because we can do things that sometimes are difficult to do for our other cars.  As you know, Bentley is a luxury product with a high level of quality and execution,  but still, in our mail production cars we sometimes we have to accept limitations in what is possible. Whereas in Mulliner, the sky truly is the limit.

Bentley Bentayga S Black Edition seat detail_13rtv2_HR 1920x670.jpg

Introducing the new Bentayga S Black Edition

Introducing Bentley's most visually striking SUV to date, the Bentayga S Black Edition. Identified by the first application of black-tinted wings to a Bentley in 105 years, the S Black Edition combines vivid accent colours, rich black detailing and confidence-inspiring chassis technology, revealing the darker side of the Bentayga.

Customers can choose from seven accent colour specifications: Mandarin, Signal Yellow, Klein Blue, Pillar Box Red, Ice, Hyper Green, and Beluga. Each of the colours bring eye-catching yet cohesive design both inside and outside, contrasting with stealthy black treatments across the car..

On the exterior, the accent takes the form of a laser-like stripe on the Styling Specification body kit below the front bumper and side sills and across the top of the rear spoiler. Brake calipers are painted to match, adding a splash of colour behind 22” black-painted wheels. As per the standard Bentayga S, all exterior brightware is replaced with gloss black versions - but the S Black Edition is the first model in Bentley’s 105-year history to include the Bentley Wings and lettering in matching gloss black. The final exterior detail is a Black Edition badge located on the rear D pillar.

For the new S Black Edition, the Bentley design team has also created a unique interior colour layout, bringing the perfect contrast between rich Beluga leather and splashes of bright accent colour. The impactful accent colours on the outside of the car are carried through into the handcrafted cabin, where contrast stitching, contrast piping and accent-coloured sections of the leather trim come together to achieve the same searing effect. Each seat is embroidered with a black ‘S’ emblem.

A new carbon fibre weave has been used on the fascia, centre console and waistrails. The weave adds seemingly-3D visual depth to the fascia, providing the perfect backdrop for the Black Edition badge, which is inlaid beneath the lacquered surface to preserve the flush finish.

Boodles Continental GTC Boodles by Mulliner - 1 1920x670.jpg
Bentley Mulliner Boodles Continental GTC - 5 rear interior 1920x670.jpg
Bentley Mulliner Boodles Continental GTC - 6 front fascia 1920x670.jpg

Bentley Mulliner and Boodles co-create a one-of-a-kind Continental GTC

Boodles and Mulliner, have collaborated to create a one-of-one Bentley Continental GTC. The result is a unique showcase of craftsmanship and design, based around a restrained colour spectrum from Anthracite to Linen with Boodles’ signature Powder Pink providing the subtlest of contrasts. Inside, accents of 24ct gold, natural stone veneer and painstaking ‘Be Boodles’ blind stitch embroidery are among the highlights of this jewel among Bentleys.

This project began in May 2023 when a creative team from the celebrated jewellers visited the Mulliner workshops. Together with Mulliner’s designers, they devised a specification featuring an understated colour palette, rare materials, and intricate craft details. The team felt such a stunning interior deserved to be viewed in sunlight, making Bentley’s Continental GTC a natural choice for their one-of-one creation.

The Boodles Continental GTC is a unique bespoke commission and will be shown on 11th April at Jack Barclays in London. If you would be interested in seeing the car while it is on display in the showroom, Bentley customers are encouraged to contact Jack Barclay to arrange your visit.  

Understated elegance
The exterior of the Boodles Commission Continental GTC uses a timeless and elegant colour palette, with the Anthracite exterior finish and light grey fabric roof accentuating the lean and muscular lines of Bentley’s open grand tourer. Mulliner 22” wheels are painted in Tungsten with a polished finish, with brake calipers in gloss black. But there are hints of the delights within, in the form of a pinstripe in Boodles’ signature Powder Pink that traces a line around the edge of the Styling Specification front spoiler, sills and rear spoiler. A ‘Boodles 1798’ exterior badge in grey with chrome text appears on the front fender, just ahead of the door on either side. Upon opening the doors, the ground-illuminating welcome lamp projects the Boodles logo.

Inside the ‘jewel box’
Opening the lid of a Boodles jewel box is a moment of delight and revelation, and the co-creators of the Boodles Continental GTC aimed to provoke the same sense of wonder for those entering the Bentley’s cockpit. As with the exterior, the colour spectrum is modern, with Linen upholstery as the main hide colour, complemented by pale grey Porpoise secondary hide on seat backs, fascia top roll, gear lever and steering wheel. Boodles’ Powder Pink appears as an accent hide colour on the steering wheel tab, inner door pockets and console side pocket lowers.

Powder Pink is used for the seat piping as well as the hand cross-stitching that traces the outline of seats, fascia, console, and waist rails. Door panels and upper seat backs feature a blind stitch repeat pattern of the interlocking ‘Be Boodles’ motif, which alone required 278,566 stitches and six hours of painstaking work. Much like the car, the ‘Be Boodles Bentley’ pendant, set into the centre console, has been handcrafted as a complete one-off piece. It features a mirrored pair of diamond-set ‘B’ emblems, imitating the curving lines of antique lace, created in 18ct Single Mine Origin white gold. Finally, a pair of loose cushions in Linen hide are embroidered in Porpoise with ‘Boodles 1798’ and edged with Powder Pink piping.

The collaboration between Mulliner and Boodles is only one example of how Mulliner can work with you to bring your personal dream to life.   Talk to your Bentley Retailer now about how Mulliner can help you create your perfect Bentley.

Specially commissioned Bentayga Extended Wheelbase in Two Tone Kingfisher

Bentley has released imagery of a specially commissioned Bentayga Extended Wheelbase, which contains a number of bespoke Mulliner features, developed together with the customer using the Mulliner Co-creation process. This Bentayga Extended Wheelbase 'One of One' demonstrates what is possible through a Mulliner bespoking process.   To find out how Mulliner could help you create your own personal Bentley   contact your retailer.  

The ‘One of One’ edition Bentayga

The Bentayga EWB commissioned by the customers is a striking and individual creation, with a duo-tone exterior of Onyx over Kingfisher Blue conceived to dazzle in the California sunshine. Having established a base specification of the Azure wellness-focused package, complete with Blackline and Touring specifications, the couple also requested rear privacy glass and the deletion of Bentley lettering on the tailgate, being content to let the winged B badge speak for itself.

The Onyx finish chosen for the bonnet, roof and upper body is seamlessly integrated with the gloss black grille, front air intakes, wing vents, side coachlines and rear diffuser of the Blackline specification. It makes a dramatic contrast with the Kingfisher blue finish, while the dark roof and cabin creates a lower, sportier visual impression. The colour split is repeated in the 22” ten-spoke wheels with a painted finish in Kingfisher and Beluga. Self-levelling Bentley wheel badges add the finishing touch to the exterior.

A personal vision of luxury

The interior of this unique Bentayga EWB is as stunning as it is meticulously crafted, and the customers spent many hours exploring the palette of choice with Phill Dean. Their choices included the four-seat configuration with Bentley’s airline seat specification for the two rear seats, Naim for Bentley audio system and mood lighting. More vibrant however is the customers’ own vision of luxury, with a cabin in the dramatic combination of Mandarin and Imperial Blue leather. Light, contemporary and sustainable Open Pore Koa Veneer was chosen for the fascia, rear centre console, door inners and picnic tables. But it’s the flashes of Kingfisher accent hide that make the most dramatic impact, appearing on the seat bolsters, lower fascia, six o-clock tab on the steering wheel, gear lever and door trim. Kingfisher hide is also revealed on the upper surface of the picnic tables when extended.

A Mulliner key box provides security for jewellery and valuables and is delivered in a combination of Imperial Blue hide and Mandarin, with Imperial Blue Alcantara for the inner surfaces. Bentley seat emblems are embroidered in Kingfisher, with the same colour being used for contrast stitching throughout the cabin. Even the Imperial Blue overmats feature Kingfisher micro piping with Mandarin stitching and outer binding. Fittingly, the door treadplates are engraved with a “One of One” message bespoke to the customer.

A growing trend for personal commissions

The two-tone exterior finish chosen for this Bentayga EWB is now offered as a factory option, one of many examples where customers have helped to shape Bentley’s product options in colour and trim. Meanwhile, the trend for Mulliner bespoke commissions continues to grow, with around 75 per cent of the vehicles that left Bentley’s Dream Factory in Crewe, England in 2023 featuring Mulliner content, proof of the growing demand for luxury personalisation across the Bentley line-up.

Private White VC Bentayga - 2 1920x670.jpg

A new bespoke collaboration: Mulliner and Private White VC

Showcasing what is possible with the help of Bentley's Mulliner experts, we Introduce the limited edition one of one Private White V.C. Bentayga, by Mulliner. This bespoke Bentayga commissioned by Bentley Manchester and Mulliner is a true expression of British heritage, handmade craftsmanship and luxury fashion that both Private White V.C. and Bentley Motors represent. This unique specification of Bentayga has already secured its home, having been sold to a local enthusiast.

Private Jack White was born in 1896 and enlisted to help the war effort in World War 1. He returned to Manchester as a war hero after being awarded the Victoria Cross for his gallantry by saving an officer, men and equipment by tying a copper telephone line around himself, and swimming across a river under heavy gunfire to rescue others.

Taking inspiration from the courage of Private White and today’s clothing line, the specially commissioned Bentayga Azure uses multiple copper detailing throughout the cabin including seat piping, embroidery and bespoke features, representing the copper telephone line.    

Additionally, to the seats and door interiors, clean purposeful sewing lines reflect the style and functionality of military inspired clothing. Bespoke embroidery including the Victoria Cross emblem to the headrests and Private White V.C. lettering finish the cabin details off perfectly. Loose cushions to the rear have been crafted from a Lancashire-woven cashmere cloth commissioned exclusively to commemorate Jack White’s regimental blanket stripe.

The dashboard includes organ stops finished in anodised copper and a silhouette of ‘Cottenham House’, the Private White V.C. factory built in 1853, to the passenger fascia. As a hidden delight not only are there bespoke treadplates, but in the door pockets a subtle embroidered bulldog can be found representing the company’s unofficial mascot who can often be seen at the factory today.

The final highlight in this bespoke collaboration is that the customer for the limited edition will also receive a capsule collection of bespoke clothing from Private White V.C. as part of this unique curation.

To discuss your own Mulliner 'one of one' edition, contact your Bentley dealer.

Batur Characters - Hyperspace - 2 1920X670.jpg

Batur Specifications

The Batur is more than just a glimpse of Bentley’s future design. It will be a significant step towards the way future Bentleys will be made, using the planet-friendly materials and techniques needed for a more sustainable vision of luxury. Innovative technologies have been fused with luxurious materials, to create features never seen on a Bentley before.

Bentley’s Colour, Materials and Finishes team turned to the exploration of the cosmos for their inspiration in creating these specifications, utilising space-era materials and finishes to reflect the idea of a journey of exploration. For Mulliner customers, the ability to specify bespoke colours, materials and finishes is of the highest priority and the Batur demonstrates even further Bentley’s ability to use unique combinations of colour and materiality.

Theme One - Nebula

A bold specification pushing firmly towards a high performance-focused feel with dramatic contrasts of black against vivid greens on the exterior and interior. ‘Wasabi’ exterior paintwork ensures that this spectacular specification will ensnare the attention of onlookers everywhere it goes. Those who look closer will see a sleek Gloss Black Crystal finish on the natural fibre body kit, adding a reflective, deep black’ edge to the car’s profile.

Inside, the roles of the green and black are reversed, with a stunning ‘guitar fade’ across the laser-etched fascia, from gloss black to gloss carbon fibre.

Theme Two - Supernova

This stellar specification pairs smouldering Sunbeam paintwork with a high-impact interior – all to devastating effect. Atlantic Pearl Crystal detailing to the body kit adds contrast to the stunning exterior.

The cabin is upholstered with a vibrant combination of Indigo Night, Beluga, Ceramic Glaze and Hyperactive, making this the only theme to have a four colourway interior. On the laser-etched fascia, meanwhile, a stunning fade from gloss black to gloss Natural Fibre completes the picture and also includes a full titanium pack with machined detailing around the cabin.

Theme Three - Hyperspace

This specification has been designed to evoke a sense of speed, even when the car is at a standstill. A deep metallic Daybright Blue exterior features is contrasted by St James Red accents to the grille, the body kit and the brake calipers – a sports-inspired theme that hints at the power of the engine that lies in wait beneath the gleaming bonnet.

Inside, the rich darkness of the hides, fascias and fabrics is punctuated only by stripes of searing Pillar Box Red and the 18-karat gold Bentley Dynamic Drive Selector and ‘12 o'clock' steering wheel centre band.

Theme Four - Dark Matter

The dark silver sheen of the duo-tone Fine Brodgar and Black Crystal paintwork blends seamlessly with the titanium detailing of the tailpipe finishers in this sleek, sophisticated specification. A closer

look, however, reveals a spark of Cyber Yellow – adding an edge to the lower body kit and the underside of the spoiler.

The interior is upholstered in sumptuous Burnt Oak hides and encircle in a stunning ring of smooth, gloss graphene. The toned down interior graphic is further interplayed with Black Anodised Aluminium details and Beluga Black accents.

The Bentley Blower Jnr

*Model shown is in a pre-production state

Bentley presents The Bentley Blower Jnr, in partnership with The Little Car Company: the world leader in hand-built junior cars. For our first collaboration, we've worked together to create an extraordinary-scale replica of the historic Bentley Blower.

Tap here to find out more about the Little Car Company,

BRINGING THE PAST INTO THE PRESENT

The Bentley Blower Jnr features carefully sourced materials, meticulous detail and all the expertise of the Bentley design team. In other words, it is a car created with the quality and luxury you would expect of the full-size equivalent. As a tribute to the 1929 racer that made history at Le Mans, it’s a link to the past that’s full of futuristic touches – the highlight being a fully electric 48-volt powertrain with several drive modes and a range of around 100 km.

STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD

One of the most surprising advantages of this Bentley Blower Jnr is its sheer everyday usability. While smaller than the full-size equivalent, it has room for two adults inside. With road legal options available in the UK, EU and US, it proves to be a surprisingly practical choice for everyday driving – whether you are taking a trip to the shops or a weekend drive in the country.

Thanks to the Bentley design team’s close collaboration with The Little Car Company, they’ve built a car that truly reflects the spirit of Bentley that has endured for over a century. Now, this historic vehicle from the brand’s past is ready for the next generation to drive..

OL9_3294-Edit 1920x670.jpg

The Belonging Bentayga

As the next step in its mission to become the most diverse luxury car manufacturer in the world, Bentley Motors has launched the ‘Belonging Bentayga’. This unique hand painted Alpine Green Bentayga Hybrid features different skylines and well-known buildings from all across the world like New York, London, Paris, Rome, Milan, Venice, Tokyo and Hong Kong – each side of the car representing a different continent. The art piece that displays 29 different landmarks is drawn from memory by Stephen Wiltshire MBE, a British architectural artist and autistic savant, who is known for his ability to draw a landscape after seeing it just once.

This is the first time a Bentley has been hand-painted in this way at the factory in Crewe, developed with a unique process from the Bentley Excellence Centre Bespoke Paint team.

The design also includes many drawings of people, and nationalities of the world united in one design. The Bentley Bentayga is the third such piece of art unveiled by the company to mark its commitment to diversity.

“We’re delighted that Stephen has agreed to collaborate with us to create the ‘Belonging Bentayga,” said Wayne Bruce, Chief Communications and D&I Officer. “This remarkable new model celebrates Bentley craftsmanship and Stephen’s unique artistic genius. It’s also a key element in our Beyond100 strategy, that includes our industry-leading, five-step diversity and inclusion plan.”

He added: “We’re very proud to be able to say that Bentley’s workforce is made up of people from 52 different nationalities and our diverse team handcrafts and sells our luxury cars in 67 countries from retailers in all the key cities of the world. The message that the unique and striking imagery of the Belonging Bentayga sends is that that no matter where you live, you belong. Our culture of supporting everyone to be able to achieve their highest potential, mirrors Stephens ethos of do the best you can and never stop.”

Stephen Wiltshire comments: “Buildings have a way of telling a story, where you were born, your first job, the first church you got married, happy memories mean happy people. I have been on many travels throughout my career and what stands out for me the most are the buildings, their architecture and the people. I believe Bentley and the Belonging Bentayga relate in the same way bringing people together, creating a journey, creating memories. My art has always been about existing and connecting. The Belonging Bentayga was a great challenge for me but I like to be challenged as it tests my ability, and it also proves that if you put your heart and soul into it, you can overcome anything. I am very proud of the finished car which in my humble opinion looks amazing!”

Stephen Wiltshire was born in London to West Indian parents. As a child he was mute and, aged three, was diagnosed with autism. However, his family and teachers soon realised that rather than using words, Stephen communicated through the language of drawing. He started with animals before graduating to buses and finally buildings. His sketches, detailed cityscapes which feature a subtle wit, have earnt him plaudits from around the world.

Crafting the Flying B

On approaching the Flying Spur Mulliner, owners are treated to a moment of pure automotive theatre. As the Bentley name badge above the grille smoothly slides out of view, a beautifully polished ‘Flying B’ bonnet mascot – the sixth iteration of the design - rises to take its place. In perfect synchronicity, headlamps and the delicate clear acrylic wings of the mascot briefly illuminate with a welcoming glow. Creating that moment, and the elegant ‘Flying B’ mascot that draws every eye, called for a fusion of exceptional design, craft and engineering skills.

First, molten wax is injected into a die. A water-soluble core occupies the cavity where the two acrylic crystal wings will sit, while a ceramic central core creates a passage within the wax moulding for the illumination wiring. The wax emblem is then removed from the die and the soluble core is dissolved to create a perfect ‘Flying B’ in wax.

Next, the wax emblem is encased in multiple layers of a fine ceramic solution containing colloidal silica and alumina; once these layers have set solid, the wax is melted in a steam pressure chamber to leave a ceramic mould with a hollow cavity in the shape of the emblem.

At this point molten 316 stainless steel, heated to 1,600°C, is poured into the ceramic mould. Once the steel has cooled and set, the ceramic outer skin is removed, while the ceramic core is dissolved under pressure using a caustic solution.

The stainless-steel Flying ‘B’ emblem that emerges is then ready for the next stage; shot blasting removes any minute traces of ceramic material and a process called ‘extrude honing’ ensures that the internal passage within is smooth enough for the wiring that will pass through it.

Only after every trace of ceramic material is removed, and the component carefully measured to ensure it meets the precise tolerances required, will the Flying ‘B’ be sent for hand polishing.

This final touch of hand craftsmanship brings out the deep lustre of smooth stainless steel.

The entire process takes 11 weeks from start to finish, at which point the mascot is ready for assembly of the crystal acrylic wings, wiring and tiny LEDs that create such a magical effect when deployed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the Bentley Network App moving?

The Bentley Network App as you know has now closed down because it is built on ageing technology which now has limited ability to offer the functionality you have been asking for.  Instead of continuing to offer this platform, we are investing in a new significantly upgraded platform to replace it, based on all the feedback we’ve had from users about possible improvements, features and functions.   

Meanwhile, we will continue to bring you updates and news on this web page as we build the new app. 

Will there be a replacement?

Yes: We will take 2024 to build a replacement app, which includes many of the features users have asked for and bring an entirely new user experience with increased convenience, access and ease of use. All of the features you already know and love will be there including the exclusive owner community space for you to connect.  More features will be added over time; all aimed to enhance your Bentley ownership experience.  

Will members of the Bentley Network app be notified of any updates first?

 In addition to building features that you’ve asked for into the app, as Bentley Network App members you will be the first to know any news about the new app.  We will be keeping you updated on this website  as we move towards the launch date.  A specific launch date has not been set, but you will be the first to know.     

We will also offer you special exclusive content to celebrate the launch.  Once in the new app, you will receive the exclusive offers you have previously enjoyed in the Bentley Network App; and much more besides. 

When will that replacement go live?

We aren’t able to promise a precise date yet, but we will be working hard throughout 2024 to bring you the new app; as soon as possible in 2025.  

Is there going to be an interim community that Bentley will set up before the replacement is ready?

As much as we appreciate it would be wonderful to set up an alternative way to connect, we will not be setting up any temporary community in other social applications; primarily as Bentley takes the privacy of your data very seriously. We will, however, have in this website a place where members can return to be updated on the progress towards our new app, as well as news and updates that we believe you won’t want to miss.

Meanwhile, we will ensure that we build the new app with much improved community functionality.

What can you tell me about what the replacement will look like/offer?
  • Improved and seamless registration process 
  • New improved Community and Messaging features 
  • An innovative design that reflects Bentley’s 2025 design vision 
  • Exclusive content, offers and events, tailored to you 
  • New Features such as Build Tracker, Inspirator and Garage will support a seamless buying, delivery and ownership experience Options for every stage of your Bentley ownership experience, all within one app: 
  • Easier sign ups – no long forms to fill out 
How can I contact other Bentley Network App members in the meantime?

We understand that you will want to stay in contact with your friends within the Network.  Please arrange to find an alternative messaging application prior to the app closing down.  Unfortunately, due to data privacy requirements, we will not be able to share the details of other members profiles with anyone after the Bentley Network closes.    

How can I contact Bentley in the meantime?

If you would like further information regarding how your personal information is processed, please view the BNA Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions here.

Your imagery and posts will not be transferred through to the new App so please save any content you wish to keep before the app closes.
