Bentley has no plans to move production away from the UK, boss Frank-Steffen Walliser has confirmed, despite most of its sales coming in the US, where new tariffs have contributed to a heavy drop in profits.
In the first nine months of 2025, Bentley sold 7236 cars, of which almost a third were shipped to North America. Indeed, the reveal of the new, limited-run Continental Supersports will take place in New York next Friday, which, Autocar understands, is because most examples will end up there.

Given the likelihood of a new government/president in under 3 years whio would probably remove the tariffs, assuming the Supreme Coirt and/or a crashed economy doesn't force this before then, investing in a US factory makes little sense. Be handy if they built one in a UK friendly neighbour like Canada though...
