Bentley Motors Founded by W.O. Bentley, Bentley Motors came into existence in the year 1919 bringing out the first-ever Bentley engine, which hit the roads of New Street Mews, London in style. Their mission was to build good cars, which were fast and the best in their class. During 1920s the company gradually picked up and they had a great time during 1924-1930 as they bagged 5 outright victories at Le Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929 as well as 1930. The most recent one came in 2003, which was after a long gap. However, the Bentley Motor Corp never built a complete car for about 27years, but rather just engines and chassis. It is currently owned by Volkswagen AG, since 1998, thanks to the £500 million investment programme. They make extremely responsive yet powerful Grand Tourers, redefining the way luxurious sports cars are manufactured. Currently there are about 4000 employs in Bentley worldwide, with each of them averaging about 11 years of service time. The company has regional offices operating across the globe right from UK, Germany, USA, China, Japan, Singapore, Korea, Sydney, and Dubai down to Mexico City. There are roughly about 212 Bentley facilities worldwide and the company sold 10000+ cars in the year 2007, while the turn over was about 9000 in the year 2006. They started off with sale of 1000+ in 2003, followed by 6500+ in 2004. Looking at some interesting facts and figures about the Bentley cars, it takes about one hundred and fifty hours for hand-building one Continental GT, while it takes over four hundred man hours for building an Arnage. The company tracks every minute detail of the component in their electronic records, which is continuously tracked throughout the development ensuring fool-proof production. Moreover, every the smallest piece of glass in a Bentley car is polished with the help of finely powdered pumice (used for polishing optical lenses), ensuring superb fine-finish. As far as the automation is concerned, programmed Lacquer-spraying robots simulate a human sprayer beating their performance even when a person is at its level best. Over 135 metres of thread is utilized for trimming every Continental GT, equalling 28 Continental GT back to back, which is as good as the height of the “London Eye”, and 1.3 times a standard football pitch. In order to minimize the variations in texture, entire set of leather is picked and cut simultaneously. Bentley cars are known for their class, and high quality finish, as well as stunning looks and impeccable performance.
