<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Tuned for power, Bentley’s renowned 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 S
engine develops an additional 21 PS, delivering 521 bhp. A mighty 502 lb.ft is
on offer from 1,700 rpm. This powers the Flying Spur V8 from 0-60 mph in 4.6

combination of power, performance and economy is the result of an array of
advanced technologies employed in the design of the Bentley V8 engine. Variable
displacement, in which four of the eight cylinders shut down when cruising,
reduces fuel consumption without any loss of refinement. When more power is
required, the engine switches back automatically and seamlessly to the full
eight cylinders.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The
high-technology V8 engine also features high pressure direct injection, low
friction bearings, advanced thermal management, energy recuperation via the
electrical charging system and innovative turbocharger packaging for greater
efficiency.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">According
to Morgan, “Revisions made to both the engine and transmission calibrations
have sharpened throttle response and made the Flying Spur V8 S’s power
accessible lower down the rev range. In ‘S’ mode, drivers will find a
sharper-still throttle response and additional engine braking from the
transmission. Eighth gear is locked out when ‘S’ mode is engaged and the
knurled paddle shifters are harmonized with the car’s new, sportier side.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">In
modern Bentley tradition, power is delivered to the road via an all-wheel-drive
system with a 40:60 rear-biased torque split for a sure-footed, engaging drive
in all road and weather conditions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Complementing
these power upgrades, a new responsive suspension tuning for the Flying Spur V8
S improves handling and body control, while the aluminum double-wishbone front
and trapezoidal multi-link rear self-leveling air suspension with continuous
damping control ensure that the Flying Spur’s legendary refinement is
maintained.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Careful
recalibration of the Continuous Damping Control (CDC) system helps improve
handling performance and ensures minimal degradation in ride comfort.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The
Electronic Stability Control is also optimized for the Flying Spur V8 S. The
retuned system allows increased wheel slip at higher speeds with engine torque
reinstated more quickly after a system intervention. This provides the spirited
driver more opportunity to exploit the full potential of the uprated chassis
and increased power. Optional carbon ceramic brakes are available with red or
black painted calipers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">However,
despite these performance-focused chassis revisions, the Flying Spur V8 S
retains its luxurious, limousine-smooth ride and legendary ability to transport

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The Flying Spur V8 S receives dark and sporting exterior
highlights. Bentley’s iconic matrix grille is black as standard and together
with a Beluga gloss rear diffuser give the Flying Spur V8 S a dramatic on-road
presence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">“The V8
S is clearly defined with a new and exclusive front grille treatment with a
combination of black grille with a body-colored insert,” added Morgan. “The V8 S
badge on the rear haunch, V8 S treadplates and 20” open-spoke painted wheels
further reveal the model’s identity, mirroring those of its Continental GT V8 S
stablemate.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<li>Bentley Team M-Sport heads to BES finale in contention for two titles</li>
<li>PRO Cup Drivers’ title within reach for car #7</li>
<li>Soucek, Soulet and Buhk will run with Bentley’s winning number #31</li>
</ul>
(Crewe, 17th September 2015) Bentley Motorsport heads to the Nürburgring for the final round of the 2015 Blancpain Endurance Series (BES) this weekend (19/20 September) with the PRO Cup Teams’ and PRO Cup Drivers’ championship-titles both within reach.<br />
<br />
Sitting in second place in the PRO Cup Teams’ championship, Bentley Team M-Sport is looking to take a maximum score from either of its two Bentley Continental GT3s to close the nine-point gap and leapfrog the leader.<br />
<br />
In addition, the drivers of the #7 Bentley Continental GT3 - Guy Smith (GB), Andy Meyrick (GB) and Steven Kane (GB) - will be looking to win the PRO Cup Drivers’ championship. With a 15-point deficit and five drivers/driver line-ups ahead of them in the table, the challenge is tough and the car must finish on the podium to have even a chance of lifting the series’ trophy.<br />
<br />
This weekend wearing #31, a race-winning number for Bentley at the famous Brooklands racetrack in 1929, the team of Andy Soucek (ES), Maxi Buhk (DE) and Maxime Soulet (BE) is determined to end the season on a high in its identical 4.0-litre V8-powered machine and, with points from the highest scoring car counting towards the teams’ championship tally, both Bentley Continental GT3s will be equally focussed on an outright race-win.<br />
<br />
“We go into the championship finale with two titles within reach, but we have a lot of work to do to win either,” commented Bentley’s Director of Motorsport Brian Gush. “Even if we win the race, we are still dependant on our competitors’ results to enable us take the titles, so a lot of it is out of our hands. That means that we have to be focussed and make sure that everything within our control is executed perfectly - we can’t afford to have any slip-ups.”<br />
<br />
The Blancpain Endurance Series finale at the Nürburgring starts at 14.45 local time on Sunday 20 September and viewers can watch live online at www.blancpain-gt-series.com.<br />
Updates from Bentley can be followed live on Twitter (<a href="http://www.twitter.com/BentleyComms">@BentleyComms</a>) and regular bulletins will be issued throughout the race.<br />
<br />
<strong>Driver Quotes</strong><br />
Guy Smith, car #7: “Still being in contention for the drivers’ and teams’ championships following a disappointing 24 Hours of Spa shows what a strong position we were in after the first half of the season and this is thanks to a fantastic effort from everyone at Bentley Motorsport. We now have more work to do to take the titles but we have all the elements needed to win this race, we just need it to all go to plan on Sunday.”<br />
<br />
Maxi Buhk, car #31: “It’s always extra-special racing at your home event but to be here with the possibility of winning the teams’ championship gives it that extra edge. To win the title, we need everything to go to plan but we also need some fortune on our side - hopefully running with a number that has a winning history for Bentley will give us that extra bit of luck we need!”</div>

</ul>
<strong>(Crewe, 9 September, 2015) </strong>Bentley Motors is today announcing full details of its pinnacle, sector-defining new model, the Bentayga.<br />
The Bentley Bentayga combines unparalleled luxury with effortless performance and everyday usability.<br />
<br />
With an all-new W12 powertrain, the Bentayga is the fastest, most powerful, most luxurious and most exclusive SUV in the world. It offers a true Bentley driving experience and showcases innovative technology features.<br />
<br />
Designed, engineered and handcrafted in Crewe, the Bentayga’s styling is pure Bentley. Sculptural with an elegant, timeless execution, it perfectly balances athleticism with confidence. From the four round LED headlamps and large matrix grille, to the distinctive power line and muscular haunches, the Bentley DNA is apparent throughout.<br />
<br />
The Bentley Bentayga boasts the world’s finest automotive cabin, with unrivalled levels of precision. The detailing in metal, wood and leather – including meticulous tolerances between elements of trim – is the epitome of modern British luxury. This level of perfection is only achievable thanks to the exceptional craft and skill of Bentley’s colleagues in Crewe.<br />
<br />
An all-new twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre W12 engine is at the heart of the new Bentayga. The mighty 12-cylinder unit combines efficiency and refinement with ultra-luxurious levels of power and torque. With 608 PS (600 bhp / 447kW) and 900 Nm (663 lb. ft) delivering a 0-60 mph time of 4.0 seconds (0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds) and a top speed of 187 mph (301 km/h), the Bentayga is the world’s most powerful and fastest SUV.<br />
<br />
Wolfgang Dürheimer, chairman and chief executive of Bentley Motors, comments: “The Bentayga is truly the Bentley of SUVs. It redefines luxury in the SUV sector and offers a genuine Bentley experience in any environment, thanks to a combination of unparalleled attention to detail, go-anywhere ability and cutting-edge technology. With this extraordinary car we are looking forward<br />
to an exciting period of strong growth and sales success for Bentley. The Bentayga is the next step in our brand’s bold future.”<br />
<br />
The Bentayga will make its full public debut at the IAA Frankfurt Show from 15 to 27 September. Customer deliveries commence in early 2016.<br />
<br />
Further details about the Bentayga, including video interviews with key members of the design and development team, are available at <a href="http://www.bentleymedia.com/">www.bentleymedia.com</a>.<br />
<br />
<strong>Innovative Features and Advanced Technologies</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
A suite of state-of-the-art driver assistance systems and infotainment features designed to enhance safety, comfort and convenience make the Bentayga an innovative, advanced and connected luxury SUV.<br />
<br />
It offers the widest range of on- and off-road drive settings of any vehicle via Bentley’s Drive Dynamics Mode and optional Responsive Off-Road Setting. Up to eight modes are available, allowing drivers, at the simple turn of a dial, to select the perfect dynamic set-up for any surface or road condition. This versatility is complemented by Bentley Dynamic Ride (electrically activated 48V active roll control) and Electric Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS).<br />
<br />
Responsive Off-Road Setting allows the customer to select the appropriate vehicle settings for a wide range of off-road surfaces, while the Driver Information Panel displays information on pitch, roll, wheel articulation, steering angle, compass bearing and altitude.<br />
<br />
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) including Stop & Go, Predictive ACC and Traffic Assist enables the driver to maintain a set distance to the vehicle in front. Predictive ACC uses the navigation data, sensors and cameras to predict upcoming corners, city boundaries and speed-limit changes and can then modify the vehicle speed accordingly, improving both comfort and fuel economy.<br />
<br />
In urban environments, there are a number of driver aids available on the Bentayga. These systems – such as Traffic Sign Recognition, which detects a wide variety of traffic signs and displays information to the driver; Rear Crossing Traffic Warning, which uses radar technology to detect crossing traffic when reversing out of a parking space; and Top View, a system which uses four cameras to display an overall picture of the vehicle’s surroundings – combine to enhance everyday usability.<br />
<br />
The Bentayga is also available with Park Assist – a system that detects suitable parking spaces (both parallel and perpendicular) before autonomous steering takes over to support parking manoeuvres, even in narrow and tricky spaces.<br />
<br />
Other innovative systems available on the Bentayga include Electronic Night Vision, which uses infra-red technology to identify potential obstacles ahead, and a Head-Up Display, which reduces driver distraction and increases safety.<br />
<br />
The Bentayga’s all-new, cutting-edge 8” touch screen infotainment system boasts class-leading navigation technology, a 60GB hard drive, and a choice of up to 30 languages.<br />
<br />
Rear seat passengers benefit from the introduction of the Bentley Entertainment Tablet – a removable 10.2” Android device with 4G, WiFi and Bluetooth for effortless, high-speed on-board connectivity.<br />
Customers can choose between three different sound systems for the Bentayga: Bentley Standard Audio, Bentley Signature Audio and Naim for Bentley Premium Audio. The latter is the most powerful system in the segment, with 1,950 watts, a network of 18 speakers and super-tweeters for unrivalled recreation of the highest audio frequencies.<br />
<br />
<strong>Sculptural Form, Sharp Lines and Elegant Execution</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
The Bentayga’s wheel arches, fenders and bonnet deliver a balance between sportiness and SUV presence. The ultra-sharp Bentley power line and muscular rear haunch display a taut tension in side profile, as part of the largest single-piece aluminium pressing in the automotive world. Trademark Bentley features such as the large matrix grille and B-shaped wing vents afford the Bentayga a modern, dynamic elegance.<br />
<br />
The grille is flanked by four distinctive floating all-LED headlamps. The lights sit flush within the seamless superformed aluminium front fenders. Innovative design features, like the discreet headlamp washers contained within the outer lamp’s body-coloured centre, demonstrate remarkable attention to detail.<br />
<br />
To emphasise the go-anywhere nature of the Bentayga, the Bentley design team have integrated a stylish skid plate into the lower section of the front bumper, just below the floating wing motif.<br />
At the rear, within the segmented tail lights, a new ‘B’-shaped illumination graphic is incorporated that affords the Bentayga an instantly recognisable and striking night-time signature.<br />
A combination of advanced design, innovative engineering and state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies - including the use of lightweight aluminium - has enabled a total weight saving of 236kg compared to a traditional body construction.<br />
<br />
As standard, the Bentayga comes with a panoramic glass roof. Making up almost 60 per cent of the total roof surface, the 1.35m<sup>2</sup> glass feature is split into two panes. The front panel tilts and slides, and the whole glass surface can be obscured via an electric, full-length roller blind.<br />
<br />
Either side of the glass roof are aluminium roof rails that combine two different finishes – a high-gloss black base and bright anodised top section.<br />
<br />
A new range of bespoke Bentayga alloy wheels are available, ranging in size from 20” to 22”.<br />
<br />
<strong>The World’s Finest Cabin, Handcrafted at the Home of Bentley</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Step inside the new Bentayga and you find the finest automotive interior in the world, with handcrafted wood and leather throughout – engineered with precision to deliver absolute perfection.<br />
The attention to detail in metal, wood and leather is the epitome of modern British luxury, and is only achievable thanks to the exceptional skill of the workforce in Crewe.<br />
<br />
The Bentayga’s cockpit sets new standards for both luxury and precision, with meticulous tolerances between the exquisite veneered woods and metal elements. The dashboard takes the iconic Bentley ‘wing’ design as its inspiration, with the beautifully finished surfaces flowing gracefully from door to door over the top of the instrument binnacles, down under the centre console and back up around the passenger side fascia and foot well.<br />
<br />
The hand-selected veneers form pure and elegant surfaces throughout the cabin, and each of the 15 pieces are shaped by Bentley’s artisans from a choice of seven different veneers, and finished with trademark Bentley attention to detail.<br />
<br />
Highly polished, handcrafted metal elements adorn the dashboard, centre console and doors. Trademark Bentley knurling on the drive mode selector, gear knob, iconic bulls-eye vents and organ pulls adds sophistication and tactile refinement.<br />
<br />
Sumptuous front seats, individually handcrafted in Crewe and featuring 22-way adjustment including adjustable cushion and backrest bolsters, provide superb support and comfort for all conditions. This cosseted feeling is further enhanced with a six-programme massage system, seat heating and ventilation.<br />
<br />
Whether selected in four- or five-seat configuration, all of the leather seats in the Bentayga are available with contrast stitching and a quilted diamond design applied to the ‘shoulders’ and bolsters, echoing the design of a finely tailored British hunting jacket.<br />
<br />
Bentley specialists individually select only the finest bull hides, all of which are sourced from cool European climates, naturally tanned and never over-printed.. Customers have the choice of 15 colours, in three duo-tone and one single mono-tone colour split.<br />
<br />
The four-seat configuration makes the ultimate statement in design, comfort and luxury. The two individual rear seats adjust in 18 different ways and include massage and ventilation functions as well as footrests. The veneered rear console hides additional functionality such as cup holders, generous storage areas and USB charging sockets.<br />
<br />
The opulent feeling is completed by the fixed back, dividing the interior cabin from the boot. Also trimmed in the signature diamond quilting and including a ski-hatch, it creates an enclosed rear cabin space that sets new standards in the SUV sector.<br />
<br />
A full-length panoramic sunroof with acoustic interlays allows ample natural sunlight to highlight the surfaces and detailing.<br />
<br />
Activate the hands-free tailgate and not only is a large, practical storage space revealed, but also another of the Bentayga’s unique features – the optional folding event seat. Ideal for those wishing to stop for a moment and enjoy a spectacular outdoor environment or pursuit, the innovative leather-trimmed folding seat matches exactly the style of the cabin seats and integrates seamlessly into the rear of the car with characteristic attention to detail.<br />
<br />
<strong>All-New W12 – Efficiency with Unrivalled Power and Torque</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
At the heart of the Bentayga is the all-new Crewe-built W12 TSI engine. This 6.0-litre twin-turbo unit combines efficiency and refinement with the luxury of unrivalled power and torque.<br />
It is the most technologically advanced 12-cylinder engine in the world and develops 600 bhp (608 PS / 447 kW) @ 6,000 rpm and 900 Nm (663 lb ft) from 1,250 rpm to 4,500 rpm. These mighty outputs result in equally impressive performance figures. The Bentayga is capable of dispatching the sprint to 60 mph in just 4.0 seconds (0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds) on its way to a top speed of 187 mph (301 km/h).<br />
<br />
The new W12 uses both direct and indirect fuel injection. Switching seamlessly between the two technologies, the combination of these systems maximises refinement, delivers low particulate emissions and maximises power and torque delivery.<br />
<br />
An impressive efficiency figure of 292 g/km CO<sub>2</sub> is made possible in part thanks to Bentley’s Variable Displacement system, which shuts down half of the engine under defined conditions. Intake and exhaust valves, fuel injection and ignition are all shut down on defined cylinders, with the engine running as a six-cylinder for improved efficiency.<br />
<br />
The engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox. The transmission and four-wheel-drive system has been strengthened to handle the demands and high torque levels of off-road driving.<br />
In Bentley’s advanced application of Start-Stop technology for the Bentayga, coasting is also available, as the engine rests not only when the vehicle is stationary but also at ‘near to stop’ speeds.<br />
In 5<sup>th</sup> to 8<sup>th</sup> gear, when the driver releases the throttle (at motorway cruising speed, for example) the car will open the torque converter, dropping the engine to idle and simply allowing the car to roll or ‘sail’. When the throttle is reapplied, or the car starts going downhill and detects an increase in speed, the transmission is re-engaged.<br />
<br />
The new W12 sees a 11.9% efficiency improvement compared to the existing powertrain. The Bentayga will also be available as diesel and hybrid variants in the future.<br />
<br />
<strong>Genuine Luxury with Go-Anywhere Ability</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Never before has a vehicle so coherently combined genuine luxury with go-anywhere driving ability.<br />
The development programme for the Bentayga has been the most exhaustive in the Bentley brand’s history, ranging across five continents. From the dirt and gravel of South Africa and the dunes of Dubai, to the muddy fields of Cheshire, and from -30°C in the frozen North Cape to searing 50°C desert heat, the Bentayga’s ability to perform on any surface and even in the most extreme conditions has been proven.<br />
<br />
The Bentayga has also driven more than 400 laps of the famous Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit, as part of developing the dynamic performance of the chassis and fine-tuning the relevant control and stability systems. The unique features of the Nordschleife, including the high level of topographical change, variety of surface grip levels and wide range of cornering speeds, made it the perfect place to develop the fastest, most powerful SUV in the world.<br />
<br />
The Bentayga introduces Bentley Dynamic Ride – the world’s first electric active roll control technology that utilises an unrivalled 48V system. Inherent in larger vehicles with a higher centre of gravity, this system instantly counteracts lateral rolling forces when cornering and ensures maximum tyre contact to deliver class-leading cabin stability, ride comfort and exceptional handling.<br />
While conventional anti-roll bars present a compromise between body control and ride comfort, Bentley’s adaptive and reactive system provides variable torsional resistance, allowing the Bentayga to be both dynamically capable and comfortable for all occupants at all times. The pioneering use of a 48V system results in silent, instantaneous responses and sufficient power on hand to deal with all road surfaces.<br />
<br />
Electric Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS) is also featured on the Bentayga. The new system improves feedback to the driver, while providing isolation from steering kick-back both on- and off-road. EPAS also features a variable rack ratio, permitting light and fast steering while manoeuvring at low speeds, as well as a more subdued response for excellent stability at high speeds.<br />
<br />
The Bentayga offers class-leading ride comfort, steering feel and handling thanks to the partnership of a highly sophisticated chassis and Electronic Stability Control (ESC). In addition to advanced, multi-mode Traction Control (TCS), the Bentayga also features Hill Descent Control (HDC).<br />
<br />
HDC automatically regulates the vehicle’s speed on steep declines, allowing the driver to concentrate fully on steering and obstacles ahead. It can be pre-set at speeds between two and 30 km/h (going in either direction) and works on gradients greater than five per cent.<br />
<br />
As with all Bentleys, the Bentayga comes with multi-mode air suspension. The Bentayga driver has four different modes to choose from: High 2, High 1, Normal and Low. High 2, for example, can be manually selected when tackling more severe off-road surfaces. Customers can also lower the rear suspension via a switch in the boot, to ease loading and trailer hitching.<br />
<br />
<strong>Bentley Personalisation Options and Mulliner Bespoke</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
The Bentayga redefines personalisation and bespoke luxury. Paint, leather, veneer and lifestyle options are unlimited and tailored to the individual.<br />
<br />
The standard palette alone comprises 17 exterior paint colours, with up to 90 hues available in the extended range. There are also 15 luxurious carpet options, seven different handcrafted veneers and 15 choices of interior trim hide, which means that customers are able to specify their own choice of luxury finish. In addition, customers can choose between a new range of bespoke Bentayga alloy wheels, ranging in size from 20” to 22”.<br />
<br />
Six lifestyle-orientated specification packages will be available from launch, including two styling packs. In addition to these options, the Bentayga is available with the widest range of lifestyle accessories ever offered by the Bentley brand. For example, customers with an interest in watersports may wish to specify the Load-Assist Tray and Wet Gear Stowage options.<br />
<br />
As with all Bentleys, the Bentayga can also be handed over to the highly skilled and dedicated craftspeople at Mulliner, who will respond to bespoke customer requirements.<br />
<br />
At launch, the Bentayga is available with an exquisite integrated Mulliner Hamper Set, complete with cooler, bespoke fine Linley china cutlery, crockery and crystal glass, and storage area for dry goods. For comfort in the great outdoors, sections of the hamper can be removed and used as seats.<br />
<br />
A bespoke mechanical Mulliner Tourbillon by Breitling clock can also be specified. The most complex of watch mechanisms, the Mulliner Tourbillon is automatically wound periodically by a dedicated high-precision winding mechanism within the car. This masterpiece is machined in solid gold (customers can select from either rose or white gold), with a choice of either a mother-of-pearl or black ebony face and decorated with eight diamond indexes.<br />

Bentley has been awarded for its excellence in manufacturing after receiving a UK Industrial Excellence Award from a panel of Europe’s leading academic institutions, including the University of Cambridge Judge Business School, INSEAD and WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management.<br />
<br />
Judges visited Bentley’s headquarters in Crewe for an assessment and highlighted the ability of Bentley to combine the traditional, labour intensive craftsmanship with efficiencies in production. Also praised was the success of the organisation in creating a customer focus and a continuous improvement culture and the resulting improvements in revenue growth, profit and productivity.<br />
<br />
Commenting on the recognition, Michael Straughan, Bentley’s Member of the Board for Manufacturing, said:<br />
<br />
“This is an award for our workforce, who have all worked so hard over recent years to ensure Bentley remains at the forefront of UK manufacturing. It comes at a key time for us, as we expand our model line-up with the introduction of the Bentley Bentayga. This is a new challenge for us but one we will deliver with the same level of commitment, passion and engineering and manufacturing expertise that goes into every Bentley.”<br />
<br />
The Industrial Excellence Award competition benchmarks European competitiveness in the industrial and service sector. It focuses on strategy development, management quality, strategy formulation, supply chain management, service management, new products and services and process technology development.<br />
<br />
Winning the UK award means Bentley will compete with other European nations for the crown of European Industrial Excellence Award Champion, which will be announced in September.<br />
Bentley is in a sustained period of growth, following the company’s record year in 2014, with more cars delivered than ever before. An investment programme reaching £840 million over three years to 2016 will see the company’s headquarter footprint expanded and investment in new models. Bentley has also created over 1,000 jobs in the past two years, including its highest apprentice intake in 25 years.Bentley Austinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10008139623484149621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478915564520360745.post-56710956067325857952015-07-08T11:38:00.001-07:002015-07-08T11:39:06.322-07:00DRIVING THE BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT3-R<div class="article-header clearfix">

While Bentley’s modern image is entangled with images of opulence, hallmarks of the brand’s early days include equal doses of racing grit and go-fast hardware. Decades after the notorious Bentley Boys swept four consecutive wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the late 1920s, the brand returned to victory at the famed race in 2003, proving once again that luxury and speed need not be mutually exclusive. </div>

Channeling its racing history—which was rebooted in 2014 when the brand reentered GT3 endurance racing—the British carmaker has spun off a competition-inspired road car dubbed the <strong>Bentley Continental GT3-R</strong>. Differentiating itself from the standard Continental GT V8 S, the GT3-R generates 592 hp (71 more than the base model), has a shorter drive ratio and more aggressive transmission tuning for quicker acceleration, employs a torque vectoring rear axle to reduce understeer, and is equipped with carbon ceramic brakes for maximum deceleration. Notably, the GT3-R also enjoys a significant weight reduction of 220 pounds, thanks in part to its copious helpings of carbon fiber and the removal of its rear seats. Along with diamond-quilted Alcantara surfaces and discreet dispensations of acid-green trim, the interior assumes a greater sense of gravitas and purpose. <br />
<br />
The real test of any racecar is its performance in its native habitat, and our time spent lapping Anglesey Circuit in Wales, UK, revealed the GT3-R’s surprising ability to hustle its 4,839-pound weight with relative aplomb. Acceleration is remarkably swift—in fact, this is the quickest Continental GT to date—and the brakes allow for shockingly short stopping distances, especially considering the sheer mass of the GT3-R. While direction changes do not occur with as much ease as markedly more lightweight cars (such as the Porsche 911 or the Ferrari 458 Italia), the Bentley acquits itself with high levels of adhesion, swift rates of acceleration, and surprisingly drama-free composure. <br />
<br />
While the Continental GT3-R signals a refreshing exploration of the brand’s racing history, it also begs some intriguing questions: Will Bentley explore this theme further in future models that offer lighter weight, edgier handling, and more explosive performance? Enthusiasts await the answer with bated breath.

<li><strong>Continental GT3 #7 finishes P2 after tense final hour</strong></li>
<li><strong>Second Bentley comes home P12 overall, P8 in class</strong></li>
<li><strong>Bentley Team M-Sport now top of Teams Championship</strong></li>
</ul>
<strong>(Crewe, 22<sup>nd</sup> June 2015)</strong> Bentley’s challenge for the 2015 Blancpain Endurance Series championship intensified this weekend with a hard-fought podium finish at the Paul Ricard 1000 km, the third round of the series. The #7 Continental GT3 of British trio Guy Smith, Andy Meyrick and Steven Kane finished P2 after an exciting six hours of racing, culminating in Steven closing to within 1.6 seconds of the leader in the final stages. Overall points from the race mean that Bentley Team M-Sport now sits atop the Teams Championships for the first time this year, with the drivers of car #7 now second in the Drivers Championship by one point.<br />
The second Bentley Continental GT3, the #8 car of Andy Soucek, Maxi Buhk and Maxime Soulet endured a more challenging race, after contact for Maxime in the opening lap put him to the back of field. The team recovered well after the incident, only for progress to be disrupted by a pair of stop-and-go penalties later in the race. However, strong pace and a determined attitude saw the #8 car finish P12 overall and P8 in class, which was rewarded with championship points.<br />
Bentley’s Director of Motorsport, Brian Gush, said after the race:<br />
“After some bad luck in the previous rounds, the whole team is ecstatic with the result here. It wasn’t an easy race, but we got the setup of our cars right and came so close to repeating our victory here last year. The last few laps were extremely tense for everyone in the garage, but Steven did what he does best and got the podium. I’m disappointed that car #8 couldn’t join car #7 in the top three, but we’ll review and come back stronger. Our championship challenge is back on-track, and this is a real confidence boost ahead of the most important race of the season at Spa next month. We’re heading from here to the official test session this week to start our preparations, but until then we’ll reflect on what’s been a great race weekend for us.”<br />
The two Bentleys started P4 (#7) and P10 (#8) respectively. After an aborted start that saw both cars in to the top five, the restart saw Guy Smith move the #7 car to P2, but an unfortunate misjudgement by Maxime Soulet in #8 saw him collide with two competitors. A pit stop to check for damage dropped Maxime to P61, reinforced by a stop-and-go penalty, but he rebuilt from there to P35. After a stint from Andy Soucek and a second stint from Maxime, the #8 car was up to P14. The drivers of the #7 car all double-stinted, with Andy Meyrick taking the car from Guy in P4 after two hours, and finished his stint in P3, handing to Steven Kane Thanks to an extremely efficient pit stop from the Bentley Team M-Sport crew, Steven moved up to P2 and immediately started his challenge for the lead, closing a 16-second gap to just 1.6 seconds before running slightly wide and spinning. Steven recovered from the spin to secure P2 at the chequered flag. Meanwhile, after a stop-and-go penalty for pushing, Maxi Buhk in car #8 was able to climb from P30 to P13 before Andy Soucek drove the final stint of the race, coming home P12 overall and P8 in class.<br />
A third Continental GT3 entered by Bentley’s European customer team, Bentley Team HTP, also raced Paul Ricard, finishing P36 overall, P17 in class.<br />
The next race for Bentley Team M-Sport will be the TOTAL 24 Hours of Spa, over the weekend of 25<sup>th</sup>-26<sup>th</sup> July.<br />
<strong>Driver Quotes</strong><br />
Guy Smith, car #7: “With the race being over six hours, the most important thing for me was to stay out of trouble, especially at the start, and then try and gain a place or two – which is always hardest at the front! I was pleased with my run and had a great battle with the Bentley Team HTP car – it’s great for us to be fighting them fairly on-track. I finished my stint P4 which set us up really well for the rest of the race.”<br />
Andy Meyrick, car #7: “The car was consistent and easy to drive. It was just as good at the end of the stint as it was at the start, so we got the setup right. I enjoyed some really close racing with a BMW, and we stayed in touch with the leaders from the start which meant Steven could fight for a great finish.”<br />
Steven Kane, car #7: “My stint was pretty exciting to say the least! The car was excellent, so I’d like to thank the team for a job well done. Andy and Guy drove brilliant stints which allowed me to get very close to the leaders. I made a mistake in the closing laps which meant I ultimately couldn’t fight for the win, but we’ve had some bad luck in the last couple of races and P2 here feels really good. It’s kick-started our season and we’re really looking forward to the 24 Hours at Spa.”<br />
Maxime Soulet, car #8: “The start was very difficult. I was focused on a car behind me that was making a move, and I misjudged my braking and hit a Ferrari, which ruined our race straight away. We started a fight-back immediately and fought up the order, and at the end of my second stint I was in to the top 20 having been right at the back. It wasn’t our day today but we’ll start focusing on Spa straight away.”<br />
Andy Soucek, car #8: “I’m very pleased with my two stints. My pace was good in both and I wasn’t overtaken by a single car. I got the second fastest lap of the race, which is also very satisfying, and the car felt great and had consistent pace. Without the incident at the start I think we would’ve been able to fight for the win the same way that car #7 did.”<br />
Maxi Buhk, car #8: “I drove a double stint, and the first half was very good. I made great progress through the field and I was happy with the car. The low sun made visibility very tricky, but once it had gone down the second half of my stint got easier. The track changed as it cooled down but the car is so good on its tyres that it wasn’t difficult to manage. The penalties are a big shame because we had the pace, like we did at Silverstone.”Bentley Austinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10008139623484149621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478915564520360745.post-43214560579270152772015-06-18T10:27:00.002-07:002015-06-18T10:29:57.719-07:001000 KM AHEAD FOR CONTINENTAL GT3 AT PAUL RICARD<ul><div style="text-align: center;">

<li><strong>Bentley Team M-Sport prepares for 1000 km race at Paul Ricard</strong></li>
<li><strong>Third round of Blancpain Endurance Series and prelude to Spa 24h</strong></li>
</ul>
<strong>(Crewe, 18<sup>th</sup> June 2015)</strong> The two Continental GT3s of Bentley Team M-Sport are set to tackle the third round of the Blancpain Endurance Series this weekend, with the challenge of the Paul Ricard 1000 km. For 2015, the 1000 km race that always features in the Blancpain season has moved to Paul Ricard to form a warm-up for July’s Spa 24 Hours, and with a start time of 17:00 the race will begin in daylight and end in darkness, providing an extra challenge for the drivers and mechanics.<br />
Following the second round of the championship at Silverstone, where the team had the pace but not the luck to achieve a podium finish, the #7 car of Guy Smith, Andy Meyrick and Steven Kane and the #8 car of Maxime Soulet, Maxi Buhk and Andy Soucek will both be targeting the top three. Bentley’s Director of Motorsport, Brian Gush, comments:<br />
“We won the Paul Ricard round last year, but that was only a three-hour race – this year’s 1000 km will take closer to six hours, making it a more formidable challenge for the whole team. We’re ready to race, not just for the championship points but also in preparation for the upcoming test day at Spa and the 24 Hours that follows. For me, this is the most exciting part of the season.”<br />
With the round at Paul Ricard becoming a longer race for 2015, there are more points available for the team this weekend – 33 points for a class win instead of the usual 25. This makes the upcoming weekend second only to Spa in terms of championship importance, so Bentley’s preparations for the event have been meticulous. Brian Gush continues:<br />
“As we reach the busiest point of the season, our work ahead of each race becomes even more important. Our mechanics have been working hard to ready the two cars for the upcoming five weeks of work, which will see almost 6000 km of total running. The Continental GT3 was built as endurance racer so I’m confident that the cars will thrive.”<br />

<strong>Driver Quotes</strong><br />
Steven Kane, car #7: “So far this season, we’ve had really strong pace but haven’t been able to convert that in to race success – frequently through no fault of our own. Paul Ricard is a great circuit for us because the car is so strong through medium-speed corners, so hopefully we can recreate the form from last year and have a really successful and enjoyable race.”<br />
Maxime Soulet, car #8: “Andy, Maxi and I have really grown as a team so far this season and I’m confident that together we can have a good race this weekend. We’re getting great speed out of our Continental GT3, and we’ve been scoring championship points. What we need now is big result, and Paul Ricard has more points available than the previous races so this is place to do it.”<br />

This weekend, Bentley Motorsport has experienced the toughest and most challenging 24 hour race in the world. After a very positive start that saw all three Continental GT3s entered in the race running in the top ten after two hours, the fortunes of the team changed. First, the #85 car of Guy Smith, Andy Meyrick and Steven Kane was hit and spun off the track, costing a total of five hours of recovery and repair time and dropping the team out of contention. However, after repairs, the car was one of the quickest on track for the rest of the race, climbing 72 places before the chequered flag to finish P74. After consistently running in the top ten for the first eight hours of the race, at midnight the #84 car of Lance David Arnold, Jeroen Bleekemolen and Christian Menzel spun during extremely tricky and changeable conditions, with the ensuing frontal damage resulting in the retirement of the car.<br />
<br />
Bentley’s European Works-supported outfit, Bentley Team HTP, scored the best result for the marque with the #11 Continental GT3 of Harold Primat, Christoper Brück, Clemens Schmid and Marco Seefried finishing P8.<br />
<br />
Bentley’s Member of the Board for Engineering, Rolf Frech, commented:<br />
“We knew this would be an extremely challenging race, and of course we’re disappointed with our result, but we have positives to take away. First, our friends at Bentley Team HTP finished in the top ten, which is a fantastic result for the car’s debut in this race. Guy was incredibly unlucky with his collision, that was no fault of his own, but the mechanics were so impressive and we showed excellent pace afterwards which bodes well for the future. Losing the second car was also very tough, but I’m very glad that we worked so hard to return our #85 car to the track so we can learn more for the future. We’ll continue from here, move forward and be ready for our next race, which is only a few days away at Silverstone.”<br />
<br />
The #85 car endured a difficult race after an encouraging start. Guy Smith drove the opening stint, starting from P20, and after two hours had moved up ten places to sit P10, showing strong pace. However, as part of a train of cars moving through the field, the #85 Continental GT3 was hit from behind while the pack moved around a slow competitor from a different race class, with the collision spinning Guy in to the barrier and destroying the front left suspension.<br />
<br />
Ninety minutes later, the car was returned to the Bentley Motorsport garage, and the team of mechanics set to work assessing the damage and starting repairs. Three hours later their work was done, and the #85 car made a popular return to the track with Steven Kane at the wheel, heading out in to the night to gather valuable Nordschleife experience for the future. From that point on, the Bentley Boys drove double-stints until the finish, at which point they’d climbed 72 places to P74.<br />
Car #84 ran solidly with consistent pace for the first eight hours of the endurance marathon. All three drivers had each driven a double stint, and Lance David Arnold had just finished his second stint at the wheel, bringing the car in to the pits from P10. He handed over to Jeroen Bleekemolen, who headed out in to darkness and mixed conditions. The changing grip on-track caused Jeroen to spin at the famous Bergwerk corner, causing front-end damage to the car that initially looked repairable. After closer inspection by the team, it was concluded that the chassis damage was too severe for an on-site repair and the car had to be retired.<br />
<br />
<strong>Driver Quotes</strong><br />
Guy Smith, car #85: “It was really frustrating to be out of the competition so early, especially given how great the car was later in the race. I was having a fantastic stint, I gained ten places and the car felt good, so it was a huge disappointment to get punted off. I was in a train of cars that had to brake for a competitor from one of the slower classes, and the car behind hit me and span me off into the Armco. The team did a phenomenal job making repairs, which meant we could get back on the track and gain some more valuable experience for the future.”<br />
<br />
Andy Meyrick, car #85: “This wasn’t the result we were hoping for, but there are actually loads of positives to take out of this weekend. We’ve developed a great setup, we had no reliability issues at all, and all three of us now have proper experience of racing here in the dark. That gives me confidence that with a little more luck, we can really take the race to the established competition here.”<br />
<br />
Steven Kane, car #85: “In the race, I didn’t drive the car until after the incident, but I couldn’t believe how good it was. It was just a dream to drive, and from the moment we rejoined, our pace was frequently as good as the leaders. We definitely could have competed for a top-five finish. So that’s really encouraging, and we’ll take what we’ve learnt here and apply it straight away.”<br />
Lance David Arnold, car #84: “Every lap was like a battle, with constant Code 60s as this incredibly hard race claimed competitors. It was really hard to analyse where it was wet or dry in the dark, but the car felt good so we were able to fight in to the top ten. We had confidence that a fresh driver on fresh tyres would be able to continue the challenge, but it only takes a tiny mistake and your race is over.”<br />
<br />
Christian Menzel, car #84: “I’m disappointed that we didn’t finish, more for the learning that comes with time in the car than the final result – that’s the secret here, to get the right feeling as a driver. But I’m really proud to be part of this team – I’ve been in a lot of very good teams, but the team spirit at Bentley is special. The spectators see it too – this car and this team is definitely a fan favourite, and that drives us to do better next time.”<br />
Jeroen Bleekemolen, car #84: “I’m very disappointed that we had to retire the car. Our pace was strong and we knew we could fight to finish in the top ten, and that was hugely motivational – but I had a big spin, and the damage that resulted was just too difficult to fix. It’s a real shame because the Continental GT3 drives really well here and with a little more luck we could’ve had a very strong finish.”<br />
<br />
<strong>Looking Forward to Silverstone</strong><br />
The Bentley team now heads back to the UK and straight to Silverstone, for the second round of the Blancpain Endurance Series at the home of British motorsport. Guy Smith, Andy Meyrick and Steve Kane will be looking to build on their second-in-class, fourth-overall finish from the opening round in Monza, while the second Continental GT3 of Andy Soucek, Maxi Buhk and Maxime Soulet will also be fighting for a podium finish. Both tasks will be made harder by another change to the Bentley Continental GT3’s Balance of Performance, with a reduction in maximum boost pressure hindering the car’s performance.<br />
<br />
Having won the 2014 round at Silverstone, Bentley Team M-Sport will start the weekend with a working setup and are looking forward to racing in front of the home fans. Bentley’s Director of Motorsport, Brian Gush, comments: <br />
“Silverstone is our spiritual home and I really hope we can put on a good show for the crowd. It’ll be a challenging race weekend due to the stiff competition but we know what it takes to win at Silverstone and as always we’ll race as hard as we can.”Bentley Austinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10008139623484149621noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478915564520360745.post-75835797719928676452015-05-13T08:41:00.002-07:002015-05-13T08:41:41.314-07:00BENTLEY MOTORSPORT PREPARES FOR THE GREEN HELL<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<li>Bentley helps Elba follow in famous footsteps of Sir Malcolm Campbell</li>
<li>Continental GT Speed and Hollywood star break 88-year-old record</li>
<li>Award-winning actor achieves180.361 mph on Pendine Sands, Wales</li>
</ul>
(Crewe, 7 May, 2015) Idris Elba, star of <em>Luther</em> and <em>The Wire</em>, piloted a Bentley to break the historic ‘Flying Mile’ UK land speed record set by Sir Malcolm Campbell in 1927.<br />
<br />
The award-winning actor hit a top speed of 180.361 mph at the wheel
of a new Continental GT Speed on Pendine Sands, Wales. This broke the
existing record of 174.8 mph set by Sir Malcolm nearly 90 years ago in
his legendary Napier-Campbell Blue Bird. The record was independently
verified by the UK Timing Association.<br />
<br />
Elba, who famously played Nelson Mandela in the multi-award winning <em>Mandela:</em>
Long Walk to Freedom, said: “I'm absolutely elated to have broken the
'Flying Mile' at Pendine Sands. It’s an honour to have taken on the
challenge, and to successfully follow in the footsteps of the
illustrious Sir Malcolm Campbell.”<br />
<br />
Despite some challenging tidal conditions on the beach in south
Wales, the record was broken in the Crewe-built Continental during
filming for an upcoming four-part Discovery Channel series, <em>Idris Elba: No Limits</em>, which will air in July.<br />
<br />
Bentley Continental GT Speed<br />
Powered by Bentley’s iconic 6-litre twin-turbo W12 engine, the GT
Speed develops 635 PS and 820 Nm for instantly accessible high
performance. Coupled with a new ZF eight-speed close-ratio automatic
transmission and state-of-the-art engine management software, the GT
Speed despatches the zero-to-sixty sprint in 4.0 seconds (0-100 km/h in
4.2s), on its way to a top speed of 331 km/h (206 mph).<br />
<br />
In the Bentley Speed tradition, outstanding performance is matched by
an enhanced chassis with up-rated springs, anti-roll bars and bushes, a
lowered ride height (by 10mm front and rear) together with re-tuning of
the electronically controlled damping and steering systems.

With little time for preparation, the Bentley racing team remained
dedicated to performing well within the tight confines of the 1.6 mile Long
Beach street circuit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The team was set
on taking advantage of this single-race event that awards double points towards
the Manufacturer’s Championship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Saturday morning’s qualifying session placed the #16 GT,
piloted by Chris Dyson, in 12<sup>th</sup> position and #20, Butch Leitzinger,
in 14<sup>th</sup> position for Sunday’s race start. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sunday afternoon’s race began with an excellent jump on the
standing start, however a stalled vehicle on the starting line immediately put
the race under yellow flag caution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Upon
green flag restart, both drivers pushed into 8<sup>th</sup> and 10<sup>th</sup>
position.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rear contact in Turn 5 pushed
the #20 Bentley into a tailspin and collision with the circuit barriers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The accident put the course under yellow
caution and took both the Bentley GT3 and Butch Leitzinger out of race contention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What followed was an impressive stint by Chris Dyson who worked
his way from 8<sup>th</sup> position into 5<sup>th</sup> before another caution
lapse, and then into 2<sup>nd</sup> place due to a well-coordinated overtaking
strategy, awarding him the World Challenge’s ‘Move the Race’ award and
Bentley’s first podium finish of 2015.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The team immediately hit the road for the Barber Motorsports
Park in Birmingham, AL this weekend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It

Motors is showing the world their vision of the future of auto design with its
latest model, the EXP 10 Speed 6.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
concept is their interpretation of a high performance two seater with a twist.
Through modern automotive design, highly skilled handcrafting, the finest
materials and advanced performance technology, the Speed 6 boasts a
contemporary style, yet is unmistakably Bentley.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">“EXP 10
Speed 6 is one vision for Bentley’s future – a powerful, exquisite and
individual concept,” said Wolfgang Durheimer, chairman and chief executive of
Bentley Motors. “The showcar has the potential to be the new pinnacle luxury
two-seat sports car. It offers thrilling, driver-oriented performance, complete
with trademark modern Bentley luxury and effortlessness.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Every
material and individual detail is designed to modern Bentley style.
Cutting-edge 3D metal printing technology has allowed the grill mesh, exhausts,
door handles and side vents to be delivered with micro-scale design detail
precision. The iconic Bentley mesh grill, for example, is no longer a flat
plane of latticework; it includes varying depth with a complex 3D geometry only
visible when viewed at an angle. Bentley’s renowned quilted leather has
inspired three dimensional texture to the precision glass of the headlamps.</span></div>

elements come together to present a Bentley for the next generation,” said Sonny
Morgan, Dealer Principle for Late European. “It’s lean, toned and exquisitely
precise, designed around new evolutions of the design elements that unite all
Bentleys – past, present and future.”</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
The 2015 Bentley Continental GT Speed, available in both
coupe and convertible versions, is the fastest Bentley in production to date.
Revisions for the 2015 model year include even more power and torque, boosting
the performance of both models.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Bentley is fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter
W-12 engine that’s been tuned to deliver 626 horsepower and a massive 607
pound-feet of torque. This rich power pushes the 2015 GT Speed to a top speed
of 206 mph (coupe) and 203 mph (convertible).</div>

The Continental GT Speed represents Bentley performance at
its finest. It features all-wheel drive transmission, a chassis tune-up which
delivers thrilling agility and a deeper more exhilarating exhaust note. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
On the outside, the GT Speed’s exterior design dons large
inner headlights, a muscular powerline and a matrix grille that gives the car a
fresh face to Bentley’s heritage. The distinctive visual presence is most
obvious in the new front bumper, the dark tint applied to the light surrounds
and wheels, and the new bright red finish to the brake calipers. A new exterior
paint called “Candy Red” is also available and exclusive to the new model year
car.</div>

The visual change inside the cabin starts with the
completely new color split reserved exclusively for the Speed models. The color
scheme starts with a dark mono-tone interior, with accent stripes in a
contrasting color are applied across the doors, rear panels, fascia wings,
inner console and gear level. Matching color stitching is then sewn into all
aspects of the cabin.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Following successive victories in the Blancpain Endurance Series, M-Sport Bentley is setting up at the world-famous Spa-Francorchamps track in Belgium for the Total 24 Hours of Spa – the headline race of the season, starting at 4:30 PM local time on Saturday, July 26<sup>th</sup>. The team is looking for both of its cars to finish in the points, and aiming to strengthen the championship lead of the Bentley Boys of the #7 Continental GT3 (Guy Smith, Andy Meyrick and Steven Kane).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The Continental GT3 is built by the Bentley motorsport team in conjunction with M-Sport. The Bentley GT3 team is led by Bentley Director of Motorsport, Brian Gush and M-Sport’s Chief Engineer, Christian Loriaux. M-Sport was originally formed in 1979, and in 1994 M-Sport won national rally titles in Italy, Portugal, the Middle East and Britain, the latter with founder Malcolm Wilson himself behind the wheel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Through seamless teamwork and consistent pace, the narrow victories scored at Silverstone and Paul Ricard have put the team in to a strong position going in to the fourth and most important round of the championship at Spa. Three sets of points are awarded over the course of the race, with teams scoring at the six- and twelve-hour marks before the final finishing order completes the points allocation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The team is targeting a top-ten finish for both Bentley machines. This task has been made more difficult due to a new Balance of Performance for the Continental GT3 which both increases weight and reduces engine performance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Despite this, Bentley’s Director of Motorsport, Brian Gush, is still hopeful of a strong result.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">“We come to Spa with a great deal of excitement. Bentley’s motorsport heritage is built on 24-hour racing, and the last time we took part in a race of this length was our victory at Le Mans in 2003. The nature of racing over so many hours means that we not only need a reliable car with great performance, but a good deal of luck. We think the Continental GT3 will suit Spa, but our pace has been dealt a blow with a new Balance of Performance that will certainly restrict us. The thrill of 24-hour racing is that it could be anyone’s race, and we’ll be racing to give the British fans something to cheer about.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Bentley Boy Steven Kane has taken the checked flag in his Continental GT3 at the last two races. He comments, “Spa will be a race like no other this season, as the only 24-hour marathon on the calendar. The first test race for the Bentley was the Gulf 12 Hours in Abu Dhabi, and we’ve done a 24-hour test too, so we know we have the reliability. Hopefully we can complement that with the speed needed to compete for major points. We also know that there’ll be a lot of Bentley fans watching the race and we don’t want to let them down!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Belgian former F1 driver Jérôme D’Ambrosio knows the Spa-Francorchamps circuit better than most, and is very aware of the challenge it presents. Jérôme will be racing with Duncan Tappy and Antoine Leclerc in the second Continental GT.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">“I’m thrilled to be racing with Bentley at Spa,” said Ambrosio. “It’s an historic track, including some of the best corners in the world, and to be racing in front of my home fans again will be fantastic. It’s a really tricky circuit, and while I’ve raced here in series from Formula Renault to F1, I’ve never driven it in the dark – that’s a really exciting new challenge. Duncan, Antoine and I will be looking for our best result of the season so far and I’m confident we can have a great race.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="e2ma-style"><span style="color: #232323; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It was a competitive race for Butch Leitzinger
in the #08 Bentley Continental GT3 today in the Pirelli World Challenge double
header in the streets of Toronto. At the end of the thirty-seven minute
race, Leitzinger had moved from thirteen to ninth and set a time three tenths
off the fastest race lap. It was a weekend of positive progression as the team
dialed in the car and found increased speed in each session.</span></span><span style="color: #232323; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
<span class="e2ma-style"></span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="e2ma-style"><span style="color: #232323; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The weekend showcased the development of the
Bentley Continental during its inaugural street race and put the team in a good
position for future racing on tight courses. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="e2ma-style"><span style="color: #232323; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“The car really came into its potential during
the race today,” said Leitzinger. “During long greens, the car got quicker and
quicker. It was a challenge today to work through some of our
competitors. Once we had some clear track, we were able to go hard at it,
and the car had good pace and we were the best we were all weekend. I
have to keep on reminding myself that this is a development year. We are here
to learn and not just concentrate on the results page. The goal was to come out
of this weekend with a lot of data and to figure out how to come back here next
year with a competitive package so we can challenge for a win.</span></span><span style="color: #232323; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
<br />
<span class="e2ma-style">“The best thing about the car is how predictable it
is. On street tracks, the wall is your defining exit point as opposed to
a road course where you can drop a wheel off and not lose any time. Here
you end your day if you take it too far. But with the Bentley, I am able
to exit right on the wall and feel confident that it is not going to do a last
kick and catch the wall. That is a confidence building characteristic and bodes
well for future street races.”</span><br />
<br />
<span class="e2ma-style">Jon Divaio, Motorsports Manager for Bentley Motors,
Inc., echoed the take-away: “Overall, it was a quite positive race
weekend. This is the first time we have run on a track like this and we
certainly learned a lot about the setup of the car. It is a real tribute to the
team that we were able to get the car moving quicker than we had on the
previous days.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="e2ma-style">“The program is moving at a quick pace. We are
learning a lot, not just about the car, but about working together and the
partnership between Dyson Racing and Bentley Motors. We both share the
same goals and the program is showing positive traction. We could not ask
for a better partner.”</span><br />
<br />
<span class="e2ma-style">This weekend’s races can be seen Sunday, August 10
at 12:30 p.m. CST on the NBC Sports Network. Dyson Racing Team Bentley and
the Pirelli World Challenge will next race at Mid-Ohio August 1-3.</span></span><o:p></o:p></div>

Challenge doubleheader on the streets of Toronto on Saturday afternoon in the
Bentley Continental GT3. His race came to a premature end on lap 19 of 30
after coming together with another competitor two thirds of the way through the
fifty minute race. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="e2ma-style"><span style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipEfExkhL3SUbRtdUwIoYb-4fwjkvdilDbStusmSsqB7VGrQgBnAUG9-W7BL7Sbar1AUIl-NxsqB1P-KNbRvKlVVV94RFvdlfNkVvR3LvwRdRf-jvuMEa7GPIFJkshKw90nxvyObdMbHun/s1600/bentely+round+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipEfExkhL3SUbRtdUwIoYb-4fwjkvdilDbStusmSsqB7VGrQgBnAUG9-W7BL7Sbar1AUIl-NxsqB1P-KNbRvKlVVV94RFvdlfNkVvR3LvwRdRf-jvuMEa7GPIFJkshKw90nxvyObdMbHun/s1600/bentely+round+1.jpg" height="132" width="200" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="e2ma-style"><span style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The car was not badly damaged, and Dyson Racing Team Bentley
will be ready for the drop of the green flag for </span></span><span style="color: #232323; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sunday’s race.</span></span><span style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
<br />
<span class="e2ma-style">“The Bentley is a great car, but it actually needs a
piece of road to drive on! The driver in front of me did not want to give
me any piece of the road,” explained Butch Leitzinger after the accident.
</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="e2ma-style"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="e2ma-style">Leitzinger was in close pursuit of another competitor who moved over
aggressively to defend going into turn three. Street courses are known
for their tight confines and the cars came together and unfortunately both were
eliminated from contention.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="e2ma-style">“It was not an ideal race result, but overall we are
making good progress,” commented Chris Dyson, the team’s Vice President and
Sporting Director. “This weekend is really a learning weekend, and a
building weekend for the future, and is all part of putting together a data
base for the fall testing and for racing on this type of circuit next year.”</span><br />
<br />
<span class="e2ma-style">It is a weekend of firsts: the first time for the team
to race at Toronto and the first time a Bentley Continental GT3 has raced on a
street circuit. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="e2ma-style"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="e2ma-style">“The rough and tumble of a street course is brand new to this
car,” commented Leitzinger. “But that is one of the things we knew coming in,
that this would be more of a development weekend than our first race at Road
America. Everything is homologated on the car, but there is a lot of room to
work with the hardware as far as shock absorbers, spring rates, anti-roll bars,
as well as the ride heights. So there are quite a few variables that we can
work with and will continue to gather data through the race tomorrow.”</span><br />
<br />
<span class="e2ma-style">Street tracks in general and the course here on the
shores of Lake Ontario present a unique set of challenges. Leitzinger
commented on the characteristics of the Toronto track. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="e2ma-style"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="e2ma-style">“There are
concrete patches through many of the turns which are extremely slick.
They “rubber up” some during the weekend and you get a bit more grip but
not a lot. Plus it is a bumpy track. So between these two factors, it is
test for the car as well as being a challenge for me to figure out the best
lines. Many times the best lines are not the conventional ones as you go
where the grip is. But these challenges are the same for everyone and make for
competitive racing.”</span></span><br />
