This made their list of car models even more popular as they introduced a new line, the Bentley Continental GT, which is powered by a W12 engine. The demand increased so high that the factory was relatively overwhelmed. They have been producing almost 9,500 vehicles per year, even more so, when they opened new cars including the Flying Spur, a four-door variation of the Continental GT.
2005 came in and Bentley was able to produce Azure, a derivation from the Arnage Drophead Coupe, which is a four-seat convertible. Increase in sales happened as Bentley cars already sold 8,627 cars
worldwide, a huge portion of it in the United States of America. Their sales in 2007 even boosted with a 10,000 goal. The company garnered 10,014 to be exact. The profit they earned from this is 155 million euros.
