Walter Owen Bentley founded Bentley Motors on 18 January 1919 and registered it as Bentley Motors Limited in August 1919. Its first car appeared after two year with a 3 1/2 Litre engine.
It's first victory at motorsports came at Brooklands in 1921. It took the 4th place in the first Le Mans in 1923, inspiring W.O. Bentley to support a factory team. Engines grew larger, with a 6 1/2 Liter, a 4 1/2 Liter, a supercharged Speed Six and an 8 Liter rolling out of its factory. WO Bentley's fascination to create beautiful cars brought in a financial crisis and in 1931 Rolls-Royce bought Bentley Motors Limited. The original company existed for only twelve years.
The first Rolls-Royce-produced Bentley was launched in 1933 and it came with a 3.5-litre engine. The 1946 Mk VI was the first to be built using Rolls-Royce components and the 1952 R-Type Continental was the last to be built without Rolls-Royce's aid.
Bentley Motors Limited introduced the Mulsanne Turbo in 1982 and it was a tuning point for the car company. In 1984, the Corniche was renamed the Continental and Continental R, which debuted in 1991, was the first Bentley to have its own dedicated body since 1954. In 1998, Volkswagen bought Rolls-Royce, including Bentley. BMW then bought the rights to the Rolls-Royce name and announced that Rolls Royce and Bentley are two separate companies and this happened after a period of 67 years.
In 2001, It returned to Le Mans and again dropped out in 2003. In 2006 the Azure was launched which came out to become the resurrected it's flagship luxury sedan. The Continental lineup has been very successful since its introduction at the 2003 Detroit Auto Show. It has expanded from one very fast sedan to seven even faster sedans and the form of convertibles that include one flex-fuel vehicle. Each has the 6L W12 engine, but the Continental Supersports, can run on either gasoline or bio-fuels. Its latest creation is the 2009 Mulsanne sedan that debuted at the Frankfort Motor Show.
