Bentley Philippines recently celebrated the British marque Bentley’s 100 founding years, marking a heritage of crafting the finest luxury vehicles in its class.
For its 1ooth year anniversary, Bentley Philippines had a special luncheon with Her Majesty’s Ambassador Daniel Pruce. Clients were also invited to an all-day festivity at the Bentley Philippines showroom in line with celebrations being done internationally. As a tribute, history panels, which told the story of the cars and the people that shaped Bentley, were showcased alongside its latest models: the Continental GT, complete with Centenary Specification, and the Bentayga. Only the vehicles which were manufactured in its Crewe factory in England in 2019 are fitted with special designs to remember the marque’s extraordinary feat.

“I feel a deep sense of pride being with everyone here today”, said Benedicto Coyiuto, the Head of Bentley Philippines. “The remarkable milestone merits a fitting celebration to honor the efforts of everyone who has been a part of Bentley’s rich history, from the past up until the present.” Ambassador Pruce gave his special message to this remarkable event. “Happy birthday to Bentley! This is a wonderful day today, 100 years of Bentley has been manufacturing these wonderful, beautiful, world-leading cars and I’m delighted that they are increasingly popular here in the Philippines and Bentley’s activity here is going from strength to strength.”

The highlight of the celebration featured a live streaming of an exclusive first look of the Bentley EXP 100 GT Concept Car, which was unveiled in Bentley’s headquarters in Crewe, England. As Bentley’s latest experimental design, the EXP 100 GT houses multiple technologies while boasting a wide variety of sustainable elements. Needless to say, it is engineered with artificial intelligence (AI) or Bentley’s Personal Assistant, to give its occupants greater connectivity than ever before. Design to operate fully with electrical power, Bentley has stated that the concept car will produce zero emissions to accompany its long-distance high-speed touring comfort. With the option of autonomous driving, Bentley sets its sights on the EXP 100 GT as far as 2035.

For over a century, Bentley Motors has been producing top-of-the-line luxury automobiles, all of which manufactured and assembled in its factories in England. In 1919, Walter Owen (W.O.) Bentley, set out to establish his own motor company after seeing that no other automobile could satisfy his own extraordinarily high expectations as a driver, engineer and gentleman. In the same year, W.O. was able to build his first automobile, the Bentley EXP1 with a 3.0-liter engine. His company was guided by a single principle “to build a fast car, a good car: the best in its class”, a goal that he would achieve time and time again. Today, Bentley Motors’ legacy remains fueled by the same drive of its founder. That passion and drive is evident in all of the fine Bentley automobiles in the lineup.
