‘An Extraordinary Grand Tour: The Story of Bentley’ 

Bentley Motors, founded on 10th July 1919 enters its 100th year of creating the world’s most iconic Grand Tourers and the British luxury brand is honoring decades of innovation, achievement, and craftsmanship by releasing a short film ‘An Extraordinary Grand Tour: The Story of Bentley’.

 From W.O. Bentley himself, right up to the new Continental GT, the film touches upon the extraordinary characters, sporting achievements and successful models through the decades.

 The film uses a striking combination of 3D-scanned actors turned into digital ‘metal’ sculptures; stylised archive imagery; and Hollywood-grade motion graphic technology to tell the Bentley story.

 It begins with W.O. Bentley touching an aluminum paperweight (the inspiration for his revolutionary aluminum piston design) to a wall which then comes to life, taking the viewer on an engaging journey across Bentley’s near-century of innovation and success.

The legendary Bentley Boys and Girls star, as do the Le Mans-winning ‘Blower’ and Speed 8, alongside Woolf Barnato during his famous race against the ‘Blue Train’. The film is also inspired by the shapes, surfaces and luxurious materials that have made Bentley the enduring automotive brand it is today.

 Shot using 4k ALEXA Mini camera technology and bespoke rigs, the film was  produced by Oscar-winning visual effects company, The Mil

Commenting on the feat, Satya Bagla, Managing Director, Exclusive Motors, Bentley Motors’ official partner in India,  said: “Bentley has been the quintessential super luxury automobile brand providing best in class driving experience since last hundred years.
