Nestled deep within the Cheshire countryside in the old manufacturing town of Crewe, there is a place where design and engineering collide, and where tradition and the modern harmoniously clash to create absolute luxury - this is Bentley Motors.
This quintessentially British institution will open its doors to the cameras to see the design and production of a new supercar. In this single documentary our presenter will delve into a world of contrasts, witnessing cutting edge design meeting hand built craftsmanship, while exploring how a British northern town supplies the worlds most luxury cars.
Through access to the conception of a new diesel Bentayga the first time Bentley have ever produced a diesel car - the documentary will unlock the secrets of a factory steeped in British heritage and shine a light on design and production processes where only excellence will suffice.
Our presenter will experience the design process first hand, meeting the separate competing design teams while understanding the thought processes behind creating a new winning model. They'll see mind blowing life size clay moulds of the prototype builds and gain an appreciation of how design and engineering work in harmony to produce both a technically brilliant and beautiful car.

Wonderful video, lovely very skilled staff. Fantastic car, I even love cleaning mine. Brilliant. John
A few years ago I saw a group of 8 vintage Bentleys on the road. They looked magnificent and the engine sounds were unforgettable. I would never forget that sight and that sound. I have also been in the latest Bentleys, and while the interior is exquisite, from the outside, they all look bland, generic and clinical. The old cars had presence, the new cars don't.
Classic& Classy! The icing on the cake as far as BRITISH MADE.; robust yet beautiful; you can tell it's made with love& great attention to details; especially in the Moroccan Blue .Outstanding! 🥀🌻🌷🌼🌹
the thing that made this docu more special for me was seeing the staff and pride in their jobs........also Charlie with his new Bentayga
Watching this while sitting In my Continental GT...
One day I will have one myself
Toured the factory, Magic, lovely cars, lovely people , my dream car.
Of course as a Plumber I have to comment. At present I have a 77 RR Silver Shadow II and a 89 Chorniche. However! I used to own a 63 Standard Saloon S3 (1 of 27). How I loved that car! Sadly it had to go when I bought a boat. Before I die I want to be a Bentley owner again!
I should become a plumber

It's great that the government recognises Bentley success, what a shame though that they can't do the same for triumph, who have grown and been just as successful
Maybe if Triumph had been sold to the Germans they would have made it. Bentley is just a luxury division of VW.
@@williamegler8771 Well, technically Triumph has been sold to the Germans seen as the Triumph Motor Co is owned by BMW. I'm guessing you mean Triumph Motorcycles though, but as the owner of a 1974 Triumph Dolomite Sprint, the first 16v production car in the world, I've often wondered what could have been if Triumph had received the backing it deserved, certainly think that it would be ahead of BMW, seen as Triumph invented the entire concept of the luxury fast compact saloon and wiped the floor with BMW back in the day.
P.S. We must remember HER Majesty loves Bentley and attained the very first Bentayga, not a Rolls Royce Cullinan, but Bentley
Very nice I like the interior 🎉🎉
Absolutely wunderbar 🏆🏆🏆🏆😍🏏🥃💗💗💗
Fascinating programme. The only thing that may have put me off purchasing a Bentley would be having a sales director who is better suited to work in McDonalds
I think Bentley test drivers should look at the video of James May driving through a rocky quarry environment flat out and seeing all four wheels off the deck. Not a low and sorry to say snail pace driving.
they were just on a jolly outing I think 😂
Should check out the price in Singapore!
Bentley motors so luxurious cars 🇬🇧 to drive
in germany at bmw and mercedes ,They have beer machines all over in every canteen maybe 9 canteens on site its huge ,Beer at 6am, beer at break1030am, beer at dinner and dinner break is 12 pm till 1 15 pm then finish at 4,30pm cycle home call in for a beer Its the normal .
Charlie, love the wig.
Looks like a dead cat having a bad hair day.
that old blokes HAIR ....dear me lol
Thumbnail guy really reminds me of young ramsay
Bentley is owned by Volkswagen, as is Lamborghini, Porche, Audi, Ducati & more.
Beautiful car
i worked at bmw in stutgaurt in 1990 , Sorting nutts and bolts and washers 8 hr shift ,mind blowing job but the money was £12 an hour . in 1990 ,i was loaded .And nearly all the staff were English and turkish who worked with me .
8:28 that combover. Then the massive weird hair of Charlie . . . . Epically bad.
"All hand built in Britain"....Where are most of the engines made ? Where are the body panels pressed ? Where are the gearboxes made ? Where are the tyres made ? In which country are the factory robots made ? Who supplies and manufactures the electronics ? And finally........Who owns the Company ?.
I do: own the company; didn't' you know?! 😁🌷🌼🥁🎶🥇🥀
Dude...shut up.... cynical banter Just admire this car and shut up whining 😂
VW group
I’ll bet a bentayga that you don’t have the money for this
Well, Sarah seems like a nightmare
Bentley motors has been brand for the ultra rich affluent families
Wow !!!!
Noone mentioned anything about the benteyga being the sister car to the Audi q7
Ahh first it was Rolls first at Crewe and if it not for Rolls the might not be a Bentley. I have had Rolls and now a Bentley made by Rolls. also it was not the 1990s it was 2003 that Rolls and Bentley spilt.
That owner of plimico plumbers is a con merchant who tells hos workers to stay in the house as long as possible (for example hours for a 2 minute job) so he can charge extortionate prices by the hour and he gets away with it bevause he does it in london. He has cheated his way to his position and he pays his workers poorly and seeing this shows where all of his money is going
He looks crooked tbh
80-100k is what most Pimlico plumbers are on
@@EZ1111 No jab no job Charlie has done alright for himself. Personally I wouldn't allow him to walk the streets with the unvaxed, so Im glad he's running about in his rolls.
Take it that Bentley's foreign competitors have watched this judging by the 5 down votes!
In South Africa only the politicians have Bentley
This guy looks like he's wearing a 'Bo selecta' mask. 😀
Brilliant
I prefer my 1973 Rolls Royce Corniche Muilliner Park Ward Fixed Head Coupe one of only 750 of this version 10 months to build cost £14,000 in 1973 not a rappers car nor a footballers
That's 12 syllables for a car. I don't think footballer's would manage.
@@tomtalk24 your right there ?
Perfect
@@duckman5642 thank you
31:34 tailgate doesn’t line up
the north call it "that will do"
Bentayga looks like any other Big Box car as far I'm concerned no distinction on the outside like most cars have become. 09:35 what a misandrist comment.
The Volkswagen Group has owned Bentley since 1998
No jab no job Charlie has done alright for himself. Personally I wouldn't allow him to walk the streets with the un jabbed, so Im glad he's running about in his Bentley
I once had the opportunity of sitting in the back seat of a Bentley lovingly kept in storage. I was surprised. It felt as though i was sitting in a toy car with absolutely no weight or substance ... thin and vacuous .... a piece of molded tinfoil with a really neat radiator cap .... nothing i would like to be in on any street in the real world ...
How old a Bentley was that then? And how much did Lambo pay you to post that?! :D
Looks like polished London Taxi
Stevie Wonder designed the Bentayga and Cullinan :/
Nice to see women being involved putting parts of the engine together, just a shame these sort of places only tend to employ people with a family member already within the work force.
Nepotism is alive and well. Sadly you can't say she got a job there by merit
@@walboyfredo6025 how do you know?
The Bentayga does look a bit like a London taxi
Just like the Porsche Cayenne looks like a Routemaster bus?
Agree not the best looking car
The Great British motor has a been sold to the Germans. A sad day but not the end of the world.
I am sure it will be better, Germany precise engineering
It's a British brand and always will be no matter who owns it, as will Rolls Royce and others.
@@alcenofolchini6971 ... it always did have precise engineering ... no change there then.
This might be a British brand but it went bust and now produced by Volkswagen. Rememeber the Austin Allegro? That was a British brand built on British quality.
Great British car. If only it was British owned.
ive owned 2 now the first i bought for 8 grand 146,000 miles , and the second from a company that was going bust in nottingham for 5 grand . both are ok mint .drive spott on .
At what price point does a car become a "motor car"?
33 engines/day..
A great british car with a bit of german
What is ASMR?
Rod Stewart has really let himself go.
Charley is a mint bloke
Still think rolls Royce is better.
Owned by Germans, Designed by Germans If the Germans could get away with building Bentleys somewhere else, they would.
a very British marque now being sold by creepy smug salesmen to plumbers , have a look at Alvis , red triangle for a true British quality motor car .
They can fool themselves as much as they wish, but cars are exactly just "a thing that that you drive from one point to another", nothing more than that.
You've not been in a Trabant then?!
This is true. But with that way of thinking you'll have nothing to show for your life. Whatever floats your boat.
Same was said by car parking valet for the Royal Oriental Hotel in Mayfair in London. He parked all the main luxurious cars you could think of. He was asked by the programme commentator " ..would you like one of these", he said "No, a car is just designed to take you from A to B". He added " ..the high end luxurious sports car seats are bad for your back along with the fact it's framework so close to the ground".
Probably should have waited for the plastic surgery scares to heal before venturing out.
P
The auto-focus is very bad
Er, blurring on purpose in the confidential factory area, was you dropped as a child?!
Wake up Bentley EV and South Korean
Bentayga is a terrible name for a beautiful car
illegal spacing CH14 RLE
I'll stick to my Renault >>>> Thank you !
You and the Ford Pinto guy could meet up and discuss with Marino who thinks cars are just a point A to B thing, the price of multigrade oil...
Communist car.
All of the things that are wrong with the "Bentley" of today...and their customers. Oh, well, time marches on and "change is the law of life." If only they put more effort into making their vehicles reliable. Now that they are VWs, that will never happen.
Yeah, that factory looked completely like the Wolfsburg automated assembly line churning out Golf's, did you actually bother to watch this video?
CHINA does a copy of this bentley and a rangerover sport identical brand new you cant see the difference £29, 000.
Not a Rolls but
we are british 12 stabbings in tha last 14 days we are a lawless society .
Those english are very full of themselves, aren't they?
cacaaleau and rightfully so. Thank you.
Renault is better
Got to love how they pass themselves of as British total BS as they are owned by VW for shame. Just like RR who are pwned by BMW
Blah blah blah ...just different VW !😒
That's all you got out of a 42 minute video? Ok.
EAT THE RICH !!!
It’s not our fault that u poor lay around all day
@@adamtrew25 That's the equivalent of "Let them eat cake." The rich always make this mistake. Tick tock... ;) PS: How are things in Foxbury Springs? We know where you are. ;-)
Just another 4x4 ! No class
I HATE SUV's! All of them.
This bent car is really full of sycophants who make it .this is cruel showing people pretending to happy working in a factory making things for the rich to play in . This is awful disgusting and should be banned
John O'brien shut up John let people enjoy stuff
In other words you are poor, want one but can't afford one.
The cheap version of rolls royce?
Nice car , horrible boss
