Bentley gearing up to unveil 'the most dynamic road car' in its 102 year history

Luxury car maker Bentley is gearing up to "unveil the most dynamic road car in its 102 year history" next week.

The Crewe-headquartered manufacturer has said the model will be its "most capable, performance-focused Bentley yet – with no compromise to comfort or luxury".

The company added that it will feature "highly advanced new chassis technologies for extraordinary journeys".

Bentley is set to reveal the new car at 4pm on Tuesday, March 23.

A statement said: "Designed, engineered, developed and handcrafted in Bentley’s carbon neutral luxury automotive factory, the new third-generation Continental GT Speed is the ultimate performance-focused interpretation of the world’s benchmark luxury Grand Tourer.

"With highly advanced chassis technology, and styling cues specific to Continental GT Speed, the extraordinary journey continues."

The move comes after Bentley published its accounts for 2019 at the end of last year.

The documents revealed the company's revenue increased from £1.2bn to £1.8bn while it made a pre-tax profit of £59.3m, up from a loss of £446.5m.

Bentley, which has been a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group since 1998, is yet to reveal its financial results for 2020.
