As the top volume luxury brand of the Volkswagen Group, Bentley continues to have a lot on its plate. While lacking a proper flagship “Grand Bentley” since the discontinuation of the classic V8-powered Mulsanne in 2020, the British carmaker continuously needs to offer popular and posh SUVs positioned between Audis and Lamborghinis, and high-performance coupes and convertibles built around the latest technologies from the VW Group. Next to those, also the fastest first-class sedans money can buy, as well as ultra-limited series sports cars, one-offs, and more custom jobs than ever for its most special group of customers. And now, without the world’s most popular twelve-cylinder engine at hand, Bentley’s strategy relies mostly on its highly-refined hybrid V8 powertrains.
