ENTERING ITS 100TH YEARBentley Motors is entering its
100th year of creating the world’s
most iconic Grand Tourers, and the
British luxury brand is honouring
decades of innovation, achievement
and craftsmanship by releasing a
short film ‘An Extraordinary Grand
Tour: The Story of Bentley’. From
WO Bentley himself, right up to
the new Continental GT, the film
touches upon the extraordinary
characters, sporting achievements
and successful models through the
decades. The film uses a striking
combination of 3D-scanned actors
turned into digital ‘metal’ sculptures;
stylised archive imagery; and
Hollywood-grade motion graphictechnology to tell the Bentley story.
It begins with WO Bentley touching
an aluminium paperweight (the
inspiration for his revolutionary
aluminium piston design) to a wall
which then comes to life, taking
the viewer on an engaging journey
across Bentley’s near-century
of innovation and success. The
legendary Bentley Boys and Girls
star, as do the Le Mans-winning
‘Blower’ and Speed 8, alongside
Woolf Barnato during his famous
race against the ‘Blue Train’. The
film is also inspired by the shapes,
surfaces and luxurious materials
that have made Bentley the enduring
automotive brand it is today.
