British luxury automaker Bentley is known across continents and decades for building automobiles of uncompromised quality and prestige. Now, they're putting themselves on the map for their car audio experience too.

The automaker has paired up with another British legend- namely Naim. The latter company is known for creating some of the most high-end in-home stereo systems on the market, and they've been working with Bentley on a system that seeks to provide owners with the world's best in-car audio experience. Like Bentley, Naim hand builds most of their stereo system's componentry for an added focus on quality.


The resulting stereo system is the result of some 18 months of research and development. It consists of the most powerful production-car amplifier, running 1100 watts through as many as 15 speakers designed specifically for the car to which they're fitted. A next-generation Digital Signal Processor (DSP) is also wired up, helping to ensure that the sound quality is as close to live as possible.

"Our customers expect the ultimate in every experience when they commission a Bentley," said Dr. Franz-Josef Paefgen, Chairman and Chief Executive, Bentley Motors. "The 'Naim for Bentley' sound system delivers the world's ultimate in-car audio experience - allowing for 'as-live' audio entertainment that is as pure as the Bentley driving experience itself."
