Frech, 53, joins Bentley from company partner Porsche. Frech started with Porsche in 1983 as an engine development engineer and then moved into the company's simulation and testing division. Frech ascended to the position of Director for Complete Vehicle Engineering in 2001 where he oversaw the development of vehicles like the Cayenne and Panamera.
Frech will officially take up his new role as Bentley's Board Member for Engineering in November and will certainly have his work cut out for him. Eichhorn had his hand in the engineering of such vehicles as the original Continental GT, Continental Supersports and Mulsanne.
