When finished, the space will be approximately double the size of the previous Design Centre, and will be home to around 50 designers, covering exterior, interior and colour and trim.

Dr. Matthias Rabe, Board Member for R&D said: “Building an innovative, creative environment for our designers to drive the development of future BEV models and more extraordinary products is key to our aim of becoming the world’s leading sustainable luxury mobility company.”    

Bentley’s Beyond100 strategy will see the company reinvent its entire product range to support a fully electrified future, it says.

This expansion is a crucial part of Bentley’s £2.5 billion investment programme in future products and the Pyms Lane factory in Crewe.
