Bentley boss Wolfgang Dürheimer talks about the brand’s future

We caught up with Wolfgang Dürheimer to discuss what’s next from Bentley and what we can expect from the upcoming Continental GT

Autocar: The next step for Bentley and its growth strategy centres around a fifth model. You’ve already indicated it will either be a sporting SUV in the mould of the Porsche Cayenne or a production version of the EXP 10 Speed 6 concept. Has a decision been made yet?

Wolfgang Dürheimer: “It is true, we have two options on the table. One is an SUV — more sporting than the Bentayga Подробнее »

How the Porsche MSB platform will transform future Bentleys


Bentley Arnage

Porsche-developed MSB architecture will improve handling and weight-distribution of future Bentley models

When Volkswagen got its hands on the Bentley brand and factory in 1998, it didn’t have much to work with.

The Arnage was based on a low-volume platform engineered on a very tight budget and the Continental coupé was, arguably, even more outdated in terms of its underpinnings.

When VW started work on its first brand-new Bentley, it employed the platform of the big Phaeton saloon Подробнее »

Lister Jaguar Knobbly Stirling Moss Editions on sale for £1 million

Ten handmade magnesium-bodied Knobblys will be made to exact specification of original 1958 race winner

Lister Motor Company has announced that it will build 10 Lister Jaguar Knobbly Stirling Moss Editions to the exact specification of the original magnesium-bodied Lister works cars of 1958.

None of the original lightweight cars have survived, so the 10 new cars will be the only all-magnesium bodied vehicles in the world. They will be built exactly like the car that Sir Stirling Moss drove to victory at Silverstone in 1958.

Like Moss’s racing car, the Stirling Moss Editions will feature low-drag ‘long wing’ front wings, a magnesium engine sump, magnesium clutch and differential casing and a lightweight tubular steel chassis.

The use of magnesium instead of aluminium (the material used in the regular cars) lengthens the body production time from four to six weeks to 12 to 18 weeks.

It’s also harder to source – so hard that Lister has had to use magnesium normally reserved for helicopters — but the material is about 30% lighter than aluminium and so offers significant performance improvements.

Each car will be painted in classic Lister green and yellow paint the same as the original Moss racer, and will feature a solid sterling silver number plaque with an engraving of Moss’s signature.

The engine will be the same 3.8-litre Jaguar Подробнее »
