So says Bentley Motors Ltd›s new MChairman and Chief Executive Officer, Adrian Hallmark, during an interview in Geneva. “I have recognized that a lot of our customers follow a similar thing: They are super-successful. And a lot of them think it’s because they’re lucky,” he says. “That’s really important, because they don’t think they’re above human weakness and frailty.” Such perceived (and believed) good fortune is spurring the world›s million- aires and billionaires to make luxury purchases, based on a system of values such as reduced carbon footprints and sustainability, he adds. According to Hallmark, hybrid and electric cars allow them to express in a novel way, he says. “There is a new dimension long- term in the purchase decision-the ethical value,” Hallmark says, referring to gleanings from a 2008 internal study Bentley did of the world›s wealthiest people. “Electrification is part of it, and electrification isn›t going away.” In fact, this new addition to the tra- ditional considerations for buying a luxury car — performance, quality mate- rials, and craftsmanship — is manifesting so strongly among the world’s top 1 percent that it is influencing Bentley’s product planning for the next two A plug-in power dock made from sustainable materials and designed by the French designer Philippe Starck stands next to the decades. 2019 Bentley Bentayga hybrid luxury sports utility vehicle at the 88th Geneva International Motor Show in Geneva, Switzerland.
