Celebrating 100 Years with Centenary Gold Badges

Founded in 1919 by W.O. Bentley, the company's namesake later became engrossed in developing racing engines. His machines achieved success at Brooklands in the UK, Indianapolis in the US, and Le Mans in France. Since then, Bentley has consistently pursued its simple objective: "fast cars, good cars, the best cars in their class."

The special "Centenary" specification is inspired by epoch-making models and numerous significant events. Each 2019 model will be equipped with a special 100th-anniversary badge, seats with commemorative embroidery, and unique tread plates, among other items.

Particularly noteworthy is the Centenary Gold color. Created to honor the delicate metalwork found on vintage Bentleys, such as the "Bentley EXP 2" unveiled in 1919, Centenary Gold was chosen for its elegance, warmth, and its association with victory.

The front and rear badges featuring this Centenary Gold are complemented by special wheel center badges and tread plates inscribed with "1919-2019." A similar design is applied to the steering wheel and gear selector.

For Bentley, as it reaches its first century, the 2019 models equipped with the Centenary specification appear poised to become a significant landmark in the company's history.
