Bentley Magazine goes online

Bentley magazine, the quarterly glossy magazine distributed to 48,000 owners and readers around the world, can now be reached online at bentleymedia.com/digital-edition/magazine/40/.
 
Highlights of the new issue include:
 
Star of the show: at the recent Geneva Salon d’Auto all the talk was of Bentley’s EXP 9 F, a concept SUV inspired by the power of the world’s fastest creature, the falcon. A car that could take Bentley to new heights, the concept SUV marks a historic moment in the development of the marque. Julia Marozzi traces the development of this powerful vision.
 
Rioja with a roar: the new Bentley 4.0 litre V8 model Continental GT and GTC took to the roads and track around Spain’s famous northern wine-growing region. The spine-tingling soundtrack of the new V8 engine accompanied John Studd as he sped round the Navarra Circuit racetrack and threaded their way back to the renowned Frank Gehry-designed Marques de Riscal hotel.
 
Penny Stephens, aviation services entrepreneur and (highly) determined Bentley driver, tells Nick Foulkes what makes Bentley so special.
 
The new timelords; Simon de Burton takes a walk on the horological wild side with a wave of technologically radical watches designed to appeal to intrepid travellers and adventurous collectors.
 
On the Road: Avis Cardella talks to New Zealander Nicky Tripp, whose 4 and a half-litre Bentley has been in the family for more than 80 years – and it’s still going strong.
 
Let there be light:  Bruce Munro talks about his latest light sculpture installations – evocative and enchanting in equal measure. And Bentley sales manager pedals for charity on one of Munro’s magical light contraptions.
