British luxury car manufacturer Bentley has followed
Aston Martin's lead by opening up its first modern South American dealership. While Aston Martin moved into Santiago, Chile, Bentley chose to start things off in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The new Sao Paulo outlet will be owned and operated by British Cars do Brasil Ltda and Bentley says that it is the brand's 48th location in the Americas. Most of Bentley's "new world" dealerships are in the United States and Canada, although the brand does have facilities in the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, as well as Mexico and the Dominican Republic.
"We are pleased to welcome British Cars do Brasil Ltda to the Bentley family," said Christophe Georges, President & Chief Operating Officer, Bentley Motors, in a statement released to the media. "This is truly a momentous occasion for the Bentley brand as this fine showroom demonstrates not only our continued expansion in the Americas' region, but also our acknowledgment of Sao Paulo as a major center of commerce, luxury and culture in South America."
Unsurprisingly, Bentley Sao Paulo is located in the borough of Pinheiros, Sao Paulo's wealthiest area.
