Bentley Legend
The extraordinary life of W.O. Bentley
Build a fast car, a nice car, the best in its class.
(W.O.Bentley, founder of the brand)
Born in 1888, the youngest of nine children, Walter Owen Bentley preferred to be called W.O. He founded the company, calling it his own name, on July 10, 1919. Almost a century later, his name is known all over the world and is associated with powerful, luxurious cars, handcrafted from the finest materials. It is worth learning more about the man who forever changed the way we think about cars.
Bentley Motors was founded by W.O. Bentley. The first Bentley car drove outside the New Street Mews workshop in London in 1919.
Step by step, the company has moved forward in its pursuit of luxury and maximum performance in Bentley vehicles. Had it not been for the brand's five wins at Le Mans in the 1920s and the sixth in 2003, the two might seem to contradict each other. But that's another reason to say that Bentley continues to create some of the most recognized controversies in the automotive world.
Almost a century later, we continue to be guided by the principles of W.O. in our views, actions and goals. Bentley Motors, located in Crewe in the UK and owned by Volkswagen AG since 1998, remains the benchmark for British luxury car manufacturing, producing the world's most popular fast and luxurious Grad Turismo cars.
Steam power
W.O. Bentley loved vehicles from childhood. He was only 9 years old when he bought a used bike and took it apart to know exactly how it works. But his real passion was trains. At 16, he graduated from high school and trained as an assistant machinist on the Great Northern Railway, finally fulfilling his childhood dream of racing in the locomotive cabin and throw coal into the furnace, maintaining the steam pressure in the boiler. After 5 years, the internship ended, but by that time he was already drawn to the highways.
Inspirational paperweight
Engineering excellence W.O. came in handy even more when, in 1912, the Bentley brothers began selling Doriot, Flandrin and Parant cars, importing them from France. On one of the visits to the French office of W.O. saw an aluminum paperweight on someone's desk and thought that this lightweight material might be better suited for making pistons than steel or cast iron. To increase strength and prevent the metal from melting at high temperatures, he experimented with alloys in the foundry until he settled on the formula 88% aluminum and 12% copper.
Aircraft engine
When World War I broke out, W.O. temporarily abandoned the idea of starting a car company and instead used his knowledge and skills to help his struggling country. A captain of the Royal Naval Aviation Service developed aircraft engines. It used aluminum pistons in its design and achieved more power and reliability than previous versions, which quickly overheated and jammed during combat. Thanks to the first Bentley engine, the Bentley BR.1, the Sopwith Camel fighter was recognized as the best British combat aircraft of the First World War.
Bentley Motors is born
For his important contribution to the victory, W.O. Bentley was awarded the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire and entered the list of honorary titles in 1919. He also received £ 8,000 from the Invention Rewards Commission, which provided seed money for his long-held dream of starting his own car company. So on July 10, 1919, the Bentley Motors company was born. “The strategy was simple,” WO explained. "We wanted to create a fast car, a good car, the best in its class." This goal he could achieve over and over again.
First on the track
At first W.O. opposed participation in the Le Mans marathon, which later became part of the company's history. “I think this whole thing is crazy,” he said. "Cars are not designed to withstand this load for 24 hours without stopping." But after Frank Clement and John Duff finished in 1923 in fourth in his Bentley 3 Liter, setting the fastest lap record, the founder's doubts were dispelled. Soon, the Bentley brand was already dominating the 24-hour race, with pilots scoring five astonishing victories in seven years and making headlines on the front pages many times.
silent at a speed of 160 km / h
The Bentley 8 Liter is W.O.'s latest creation. and, by all accounts, his masterpiece. The power and torque figures of the in-line six-cylinder engine have allowed the company to claim that the Bentley 8 Liter can reach speeds of over 160 km / h, regardless of the body type chosen by the customer.
