Bentley Motors saw a strong increase in deliveries across Europe in 2011 and also reported a significant rise in the first quarter of 2012.  In the Czech Republic, Bentley’s market share in the luxury segment reached a remarkable 23% in 2011. Responding to this growing demand, Bentley is enhancing its representation in this dynamic country in the heart of Europe with the opening of Bentley Prague.

Bentley Prague is located in the central Smichov quarter – a business district just 4 km from downtown Prague – on one of the major east-west links, allowing it to be easily accessed by customers. The 250 square metre dealership offers a suitably exclusive Bentley experience with highly professional sales staff as well as after-sales service and workshop facilities.

Guillaume Chabin, Regional director Europe for Bentley Motors, commented:  'Bentley’s market share in the Czech Republic is among the highest in Europe. We believe there is strong potential in this market and are delighted to open this new dealership in such a key European location.'

At the grand opening of these new premises, held today, the all-new Bentley Continental GT and GTC V8 models also celebrate their debut in the Czech market. The advanced 4.0 litre twin-turbo V8 engine in both models combines impressive power with class-leading efficiency.

David Liska, General manager at Bentley Prague said: 'I look forward to welcoming customers and local Czech residents to our new state-of-the-art Prague dealership and offering them a first class Bentley experience.'
