BENTLEY CHRONICLE PART1
W.O. Bentley and the Bentley Boy Years #002
Designed and developed by W.O. Bentley himself, only 3,048 Bentleys were produced in total over a period of just ten years, from 1921 to 1931, and were known as 'W.O. Bentleys' or 'Cricklewood Bentleys', after the location of the factory headquarters. All models produced during this period were guaranteed by the company for five years, which shows how confident W.O. was in the reliability and durability of his automobiles.

THE EXTREAM BENTLEY : BENTLEY CONTINENTAL SUPERSPORTS
The Future of Luxury Cars by Bentley
At the Geneva Show in March 2008, Bentley CEO Dr. Franz-Josef Paefgen announced the development of the FlexFuel system, compatible with both gasoline and ethanol, which would be available by 2012. This represented a public expression of Bentley's aim to confront the ‘environmental’ performance issues that had been avoided by luxury and sports cars around the world until now. A year later, also in Geneva, Bentley unveiled a new model. This new model, named ‘Supersport’ after the famed classic of the past, was, as its name implied, the fastest Bentley ever built, yet it also boasted the world's highest level of environmental performance. How did Bentley respond to the environmental issues surrounding the earth and automobiles, and to the Bentley users who always seek the best?
