Undoubtedly the power, performance and luxury of our models are a key part of this success but so too is the authenticity of the Bentley name. From the Le Mans winning Bentley Boys of the 1920s to today’s 630PS Continental Supersports there is an unbroken heritage of outstanding design, craftsmanship and engineering. We look forward to working with Premier Metro Group, whose understanding of the luxury market in Kazakhstan makes them the ideal partners for us in this exciting country.”
