Bentley Motors has announced a new partnership with world-renowned cellist, Tina Guo. Guo recently composed, performed and produced the launch music for the first luxury hybrid vehicle in the world – the Bentayga Hybrid – and will work closely with Bentley throughout 2018 with a schedule of live performances and guest appearances.
Christophe Georges, Director of Marketing for Bentley, commented: “Tina is an extraordinary talent. Through her compositions and performances on her electric cello, Tina has taken the sound of an acoustic cello – a beautiful luxury instrument hand-crafted from the finest materials – and made it contemporary and modern with the addition of electricity. We have achieved the same feat with the new Bentayga Hybrid, and we are excited to be working with her.”
The piece of music composed and performed by Guo reflects the tranquil and refined interior space offered by the Bentayga Hybrid. In pure EV mode, the car makes effortless progress for up to 31 miles (50 km) in silence thanks to the electric drivetrain and provides an oasis of calm in the city and beyond. The Bentayga Hybrid will go on sale later this year as the first step towards a sustainable, electrified future for Bentley.
Guo’s internationally acclaimed and Grammy-nominated career as a virtuoso acoustic/electric cellist, recording artist, and composer is truly in the ascendency. Her unique style encompasses a wide range of genres and she has worked with some of the biggest names in music.
