Bentley, a name that evokes class and craftsmanship. From the early twentieth century, Bentley was in the business of making luxury British cars with details to behold. In fact, Bentley is known to be the sportier of the two British luxury marques, with competitor Rolls-Royce being a bit more laid back. This same heritage is reflected in their current model lineup, such as the Bentley Continental. While the Bentley Continental was the first Bentley to be mass-produced, it was held to the same standards as the brand’s previous handcrafted cars.
