Bentley says new derivatives helped push profits to record high

Bentley says new derivatives of popular models helped push operating profits to a record £495 million in the first nine months of 2022.

The British brand claimed the rise, which was more than double that of the same point last year (£236.7m), was helped by the release of the Bentley Bentayga Extended Wheelbase, which accounted for 40% of overall Bentley Bentayga sales – its top earner (4413 sales; 39%).
