Bentley joins Porsche. Sort of

By: Steve Smith

Toby Venter, CEO of LSM Distributors, the agents for Porsche in South Africa, has announced that they have secured the distribution and dealer rights for the Bentley vehicle brand in this country.

“We were inspired by Bentley’s rich heritage, from their numerous racing triumphs, to the passion and craftsmanship that goes into making each individual car. However, the clear contemporisation of the Bentley brand in recent years has also been a great attraction to us. We are convinced that Bentley will complement the existing portfolio of business interests within the LSM Distributors Group”, said Venter.

A new home for Bentley is being built in Melrose Arch at the corner of Corlett Drive and Melrose Boulevard. The range currently consists of the Continental, Flying Spur and Mulsanne models and,  in April, will be joined by the new Bentayga SUV.

Bentley customers will get a 3-year/100 000km Drive Plan (which covers all maintenance for the defined period), included in the retail price of every new Bentley sold from the 1st of March 2016.

Continental GT V8            R3 562 000
