World of Bentley in Singapore

While luxury carmarker Bentley has long been known for their meticulous attention to detail in handcrafting each and every car in its renowned factory in Crewe, not many among us has had the opportunity and privilege to visit its home in England and witness first-hand the mastery behind each Bentley that leaves the factory.

Through its ‘World of Bentley’ exhibition, the British marque has assembled a collection of exhibits, consisting pieces from its factory in Crewe, and flown them down to Singapore so as to share the passion which the brand is all about. Running from now till 15 August, the exhibition is staged in the Bentley showroom at 45 Leng Kee Road and is open to the public. There are no admission fees.

Among the many exhibits on display, Bentley aficionados will probably be most excited by the actual Continental Supersports Convertible (complete with the very parachute deployed to slow it down) driven by four-time world rally champion Juha Kankkunen at 330.695km/h to break the world ice speed record.

“There are many unmistakable characteristics that define a Bentley – handcrafted luxury, distinctive design and breathtaking power and performance, as well as a refined and exhilarating driving experience” said Robin Peel – Head of Marketing and Communications for Bentley in Asia Pacific. “The combination of these characteristics makes the Bentley Brand so unique, and we have brought to Singapore directly from our factory, a ground breaking display that will bring alive the Bentley Brand to our guests and give them a real flavour of Crewe, and how we build our cars.”

The largest fleet of cars from Bentley Motors in South East Asia is also in town. Almost every car from the likes of the flagship Mulsanne, the spacious 6.0-litre W12 Continental Flying Spur, the stylish W12 GTC and the newest V8-engine Continental GT and GTC will be showcased.
