⚡ Bentley Celebrates 10 Years with Bentley Dresden – And Looks to an Electric Future
Dresden, 21 July 2025 — Bentley Motors has marked a major milestone: a decade-long partnership with Bentley Dresden. While this anniversary honors tradition, it also highlights Bentley’s bold step toward an electric and sustainable future.
The celebration wasn’t just about the past—it was a glimpse into the future of luxury mobility. As Bentley transitions toward a fully electrified lineup, Bentley Dresden stands as a critical retail hub driving that transformation in Eastern Germany.
🌱 Powering the Shift: EV Innovation at Bentley
Bentley used the event to showcase its next chapter. For that, it’s a high-performance plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) and the evolution toward full battery electric models. Whenever car companies do this, we know we are moving forward. The upcoming fourth-generation Continental GT and Flying Spur will feature V8-based PHEV powertrains, combining signature Bentley performance with lower emissions and greater efficiency.
Later this year, Bentley will also debut the new Bentayga Speed, adding even more momentum to its Beyond100 strategy—an ambitious plan to become fully electric and carbon neutral by 2030.
“This isn’t just a celebration of history—it’s about the future,” said Richard Leopold, Bentley’s Regional Director for Europe, UK & MEAI. “As we introduce electrified powertrains and pave the way for full BEVs, partners like Bentley Dresden are essential. Especially in guiding customers through this exciting shift.”

⚡ Driving Into the Future – Literally
To mark the occasion, Bentley Dresden hosted a scenic 150-km rally through Saxony. A fleet of twelve vehicles, from the classic 1937 Bentley 4½ Litre to modern GTs and Flying Spurs, symbolized the brand’s journey—from roaring petrol engines to refined, silent electric drive.
“Customers here are asking more questions about sustainability, emissions, and the future of electric driving,” said Kristina Kemnitz, General Manager of Bentley Dresden. “We’re proud to represent a brand that blends tradition with innovation—and we’re ready for what’s next.”
