entley owners come from many walks of life, from pioneering scientists to visionary entrepreneurs and gifted artists. One trait unites them: they don’t follow. They lead. And that’s what they expect of Bentley Motors. To become the global leader in sustainable

luxury mobility, we have committed wholeheartedly to becoming an end-to-end carbon neutral organisation. Within a decade we’ll be evolving from the world’s largest producer of 12-cylinder petrol engines to an all-electric line-up, starting in 2025.

  You can read how in our Beyond100 update on page 42. You can also enjoy Derek Powell’s impression of the new Flying Spur Hybrid on page 34, and what he describes as Bentley’s ‘passage of reinvention’. From slipping silently through the traffic in full EV mode to powering majestically down the freeway, the Flying Spur Hybrid becomes more than the sum of its dual power sources.

  Meanwhile, we’ll continue to provide a perspective on luxury that is both unique and distinctively Bentley. Our new extended wheelbase Bentayga, for example, features innovative reclining seats that cosset and invigorate, delivering its occupants refreshed at their journey’s end. You can explore this car on page 28.

  There’s much more to read, from our cover story with the refreshingly optimistic French-born street artist Mr Brainwash to the latest trends in wellness architecture.

  Please enjoy this issue with our compliments.

Adrian Hallmark Chairman and

CEO of Bentley Motors
