Bentley has been teasing a new electric SUV, set to be unveiled by the end of the year, and rumors are swirling that the British luxury brand may draw inspiration from its rich racing heritage for the vehicle's name. Sources suggest that the new model could be dubbed after Woolf Barnato, a pioneering Bentley driver and executive from the 1920s who played a key role in shaping the company's reputation as a maker of high-performance vehicles. Barnato, a member of the wealthy Barnato family, was one of the most influential figures in Bentley's early years, competing in numerous high-profile racing events and helping to establish the brand as a force to be reckoned with on the track. If the rumors prove true, the new electric SUV would be a fitting tribute to Barnato's legacy and a nod to Bentley's storied past.
The electric SUV, due to be revealed by year's end, could end up being named for Woolf Barnato, an influential Bentley racer and executive from the 1920s.
