Bentley Pebble Beach Highlights 2018

Bentley marked 99 years of luxury and performance at Monterey Car Week 2018 through a curated programme of events.

The new Mulsanne WO Edition by Mulliner made its debut, alongside WO Bentley’s own 1930 8-Litre – the inspiration for the new flagship Bentley. Each Mulsanne WO Edition is connected to its muse through a slice of the 8-Litre’s original crankshaft, incorporated into a handcrafted drinks cabinet in the rear cabin. A suite of exquisite details, including a polished vertical-vane radiator grille, black wheels, and veneer and leather featuring WO Bentley’s own signature complete the strictly limited run of 100 cars.

The highlight of Bentley’s programme of events was Friday evening’s luxury symposium, expertly compèred by Executive Vice President and Managing Director of Robb Report, David Arnold. A conversation on the evolution and future of luxury was brought to life for more than 150 guests through the lenses of fine wine, champagne, music and automotive design via a panel of speakers including David Pearson (CEO, Opus One winery), Richard Beaumont (Head of Krug Champagne), virtuoso cellist and Bentley partner Tina Guo and Bentley’s own Director of Design and Mulliner Coachbuilding, Stefan Sielaff.
