The Bentley Rotating Display, featured in the new Flying Spur as well as the Continental GT, is the modern, technically focused interpretation of Bentley’s long-standing philosophy of creating unrivalled craftsmanship.
Since launch the Bentley Rotating Display has been one of the most widely accepted options in the Bentley range, with approximately 70% of customer orders specifying the innovative system. Now, Bentley has revealed how the three-sided display, with over 150 parts and tolerances less than 0.5mm, was brought from concept to reality.
To deliver this feature a team of designers and engineers focused their attention to combine craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology at the press of a button. The team created a unique centrepiece, providing customers the ability to choose between the main 12.3” infotainment touchscreen, a set of three analogue gauges (outside air temperature, a compass and a chronometer) or a book-matched piece of veneer, in a manner even James Bond – originally a Bentley driver - would be proud of.
The Bentley Rotating Display took more than three years to develop from initial concept, with extensive testing undertaken to ensure the highest quality standard was consistently achieved. The feature is constructed from 153 individual components to form a three-sided rotating display with an innovative mechanism. The patent pending feature allows alignment of each face to a +/-0.3mm tolerance.
