Benson Auto Corp, commonly referred to as Benson, is a multinational luxury and commercial automotive brand established on the 11th of October, 1921 as a manufacturer of bicycles, for which it produced from 1921 until 1929, before transitioning to motorcycle production in 1931 and later go to include the production of high-end automobiles in 1935. The corporation is headquartered in Orley, Plangainer, and acts as the operations and business center for all Benson Auto Corp. related market and trade internationally.

Benson is primarily associated with the production and distribution of high-end and luxury vehicles, though also includes other ventures such as motorsports and high-tech automotive engineering, along with research and development in other areas of transportation and vehicle safety. The company holds annual exhibitions at motor shows around the globe and sponsors various motorsports events and series, and is the largest Plangainer-based automaker in terms of annual vehicle sales and revenue.

The company had separated from its parent corporation, Entinera, early into the companies life as a bicycle manufacturer, in which the former had acted as its sole retailer and distributor at the time. However, due to Entinera having difficulties at the time of supporting and funding Benson Auto Corp., along with multiple disputes over ownership, it was decided that the company would split and publicly form as a single own-entity, and Entinera would no longer be associated with its former subsidiary, though would still retain a percentage of shares for a brief time before the company dissolved and the ownership was then fully privately held by the sole corporation.
