The Bentley Rotating Display, developed for the Flying Spur and Continental GT, won the Dashboard of the Year award in the sixth edition of the Automobile Awards, which took place at the prestigious Automobile Club de France, in Paris’ Place de la Concorde.
While developing these monitoring systems, the designers and engineers focused their attention on ensuring a combination of the brand philosophy’s unrivalled craftsmanship with cutting edge technology at the press of a button. The team invested over three years towards developing the system, which consists of 153 individual components to form a three-sided rotating display. The patent on this mechanism features the alignment of each face to a +/-0.3mm tolerance.
Balazs Rooz, Regional Director of Bentley Motors Europe, commented:
‘We are delighted to receive this special award, highlighting a great feature available in our definitive Grand Tourer, the Continental GT, and the world’s finest luxury four-door Grand Tourer, the Flying Spur. This award is a great recognition of the stunning innovative work done by our engineers, designers and craftsmen. It has been designed with a high level of precision, in combination with craftsmanship and technology.’
