Bentley is preparing to add a fifth model to its line-up. The company isn’t ready to reveal the car’s identity — though we think we know what we’re looking at — but it announced that the mysterious vehicle will be available with an option called Airline Seat Specification.

Bentley announced it would debut “a fifth model” on Tuesday, May 10 to join the Continental GT, Continental GTC, Flying Speed and Bentayga.

Bentley has shifted one of its on-going restoration projects into high gear. Found after spending decades undriven, the first T-Series sedan built is being brought back to life by the British company’s apprentices and specialists and it should be back on the road by the end of 2023. Manufactured on September 28, 1965, about a […] April 15, 2022 at 08:20PM

LISBON — Heavy tug boats on Tuesday sprayed water on a burning ship carrying thousands of Porsches and Bentleys adrift off the coast of Portugal’s Azores islands, the ship’s manager said in a statement.

MALIBU, Calif. – When I first moved to New York City in the early 1990s, two careers before I became an automotive writer, I worked as a preschool teacher in Brooklyn. I rode my bike to work from Manhattan each day, over the Brooklyn Bridge, one of the most bountiful opportunities for car-spotting in a […] January 19, 2022 at 05:31AM

Bentley has become the first major automaker to release a series of cars dedicated to Russian ballet — sorry, Lada. It’s planning to build a series of six Bentayga Speed models inspired by a different motion performed by ballet dancers in Russia. Each SUV in the series wears a specific livery; three feature a single-tone […] October 26, 2021 at 07:01PM

If your morning caffeine dose isn’t quite getting the job done, watching a 12-cylinder Bentley Continental GT Speed drift around the former NATO Comiso Air Station in Sicily may just do the trick. While “Continental Drift” may have nothing to do with plate tectonics in this context, it’s highly appropriate that the GT Speed is […] October 21, 2021 at 08:59PM

The non-Speed version of the Bentley Continental GT will not be available with a W12 engine in 2022. It’ll be V8 only. CarBuzz noticed the change missing on Bentley’s Continental Range page, and when the outlet put the question to the English automaker, the answer came back, “GT Speed and GT Speed Convertible are the […] September 18, 2021 at 12:53AM

Bentley has a new rear seat entertainment system that aims to make watching content on the rear seat screens much easier. It’s simply named Bentley Rear Entertainment, and it’s going to be available on both the Bentayga and Flying Spur. What makes it noteworthy is the system’s ability to cast via your mobile device. You […] September 01, 2021 at 12:58AM

Bentley’s Mulliner division completed two customer cars that couldn’t be more different. It finished the first Bacalar, a futuristic-looking roadster related to the Continental GT, and it wrapped up the first Blower continuation car. Each limited to 12 examples, the Bacalar and the Blower are customer-configured special projects that are built largely by hand, so […] August 20, 2021 at 06:55PM

It wouldn’t be a Monterey Car Week if Bentley didn’t show us something extravagant and extremely expensive. So here it is: The Flying Spur Mulliner. This Flying Spur is just another version of the model, but any powertrain can be paired with the Mulliner spec. That means you can get the V8, W12 or the […] August 13, 2021 at 06:30AM

It’s not unheard of for a car with extremely low miles to appear for sale years after it was built. In some unusual cases, they might not even be registered. But what’s truly bizarre is for a whole group of five cars reappearing for sale having never been registered. And even more so when they’re […] August 02, 2021 at 10:00PM

The 2022 Bentley Flying Spur Hybrid will be the second plug-in hybrid in the company’s lineup. And the brand is bestowing it with a special model called the Odyssean Edition to kick it off. It has some unique interior features that Bentley claims are more sustainable, but we would argue they don’t do much to […] July 29, 2021 at 10:46PM

Carbon fiber wheels are becoming a hot commodity when it comes to sports cars, and for obvious reasons: They’re light and strong. Now the technology is coming to SUVs, as the Bentley Bentayga will soon get the option of the woven and molded wheels. The wheels available will measure 22 inches in diameter, which Bentley […] July 26, 2021 at 09:01PM

In the five years that I’ve worked at Autoblog, I’ve read a lot of press releases. They’re all pretty flowery and self-serving, but the ones that go the extra distance with lavish words and pompous phrasing tend to come from the most luxurious brands, Bentley and Rolls-Royce. And something that they both love talking about […] July 21, 2021 at 08:30PM

Bentley’s Mulliner division completed its 1,000th project in July 2021, and the milestone car is one you can’t miss unless you park it in a lavender field. It’s a one-off Bentayga painted purple and fitted with special interior accents. It took seven years for Mulliner to reach this milestone; it formed its own design team […] July 12, 2021 at 11:45PM

Bentley is adding the new 2022 Flying Spur Hybrid as a third powertrain option in the Flying Spur family that already includes a W12 and V8 model.
