It sounds like the new coffee by Nespresso, but in addition to the Bentayga will be the Barnato is probably the second allitererende Bentley model in the range.

The name comes, of course, not just falling from the sky. A brand as old as Bentley can boast a rich history to find inspiration for model names and that is exactly what these times have done. At least, that claim to be the men of AutoExpress.

Is sure in any case that Bentley is the name Barnato two years ago has set. The speculoos is now that this name will be used for the production model that is based on the gorgeous EXP 10 Speed 6 concept. A luxury two-seat sports car on VAG’s MSB platform that will form the basis for the new Continental GT and the new Porsche Panamera.

The name would fit to a sporty coupe, because Woolf ‘Babe’ Barnato, one of the O. G. ‘Bentley boys’. From 1926 to 1931, Barnato even a few years, the owner of the mark, until he had to sell because of the crisis at the end of years ’20 markets. Also do Barnato had nothing to be ashamed for his sporting achievements, because at Le Mans, he won three years in a row. A name with enough “pedigree” to see the production version of the received with great enthusiasm concept to adorn so.

Before Woolf his first Bentley purchased in 1925, he was also a captain in the Royal Field Artillery of the British Army during the first world war. He went from the battlefield with the trenches and onto the battlefield of the circuit.

In 2019 we can have the Barnato, if it ‘real ‘ so called, in really admire. Under the hood is reportedly a variant of Audi’s 4.0 liter V8, which is incidentally also the service is going to do in the Lamborghini Urus. Because VAG together with the world also plugs today, like, is an electric variant of the technique shares with the Porsche Mission E not ontdenkbaar. If the price is actually under that of the Continental GT is, as, however, the intention is and the looks of the EXP 10 Speed 6 is preserved, we estimated that it was a ridiculous success.
