 Bentley Cars Ltd. is an English company specializing in the production of cars.

The founder of the legendary aristocratic car brand, formed in 1919, Walter Owen Bentley, developed his first car with a 3-liter “four” together with F. Barges and G. Varley. In the fall of the same year, Walter Bentley showed his first-born at the London Motor Show, but production was only able to start after two years. By the way, from the very beginning Bentley set its sights on producing prestigious cars. The three-liter volume made the car unattainable for ordinary motorists, and the five-year warranty period, unique for that time, attracted the attention of wealthy people. The car had a simple name - 3L, which simply meant the presence of a 3-liter engine. Later this designation became traditional. And only somewhere in the mid-twenties did verbal designations, for example, Big Six, begin to appear in the name.

Bentley, without burdening himself with design delights, paid special attention to the technical side of the issue. He saw the main purpose of his cars in winning car races. Indeed, it rarely happened that Bentley cars did not win sports competitions. The use of large-volume engines made it possible to “remove” a considerable amount of horsepower from them. One of these was a 4.5L model with a Roots rotary supercharger placed in front of the radiator. This car was specially designed for the famous racer and industrial magnate G. Birkin. In those years, the car became one of the most powerful and fastest, and, despite the critical attitude towards it from Bentley himself, brought his company even greater fame.

Today, one of the main accents in the production program falls on the Arnage model (premiere in April 1998, Turin). It is equipped with a BMW V8 engine (4.4 l) with two Garrett turbochargers and is available in two basic versions - Red Label (a sportier version, 400 hp) and Green Label (354 hp). The safety of passengers in this ultra-luxury sedan is ensured by two airbags, ABS, traction-control, and a system that shuts off the fuel supply, unlocks the doors and separates the steering column in the event of an accident.
