Bentley has unveiled its vision of the future of luxury mobility, the EXP 100 GT, a concept car that reimagines grand touring for the world of 2035. This all-electric, autonomous vehicle is a physical embodiment of the future Bentley brand, showcasing sustainable innovation, luxurious materials, and cutting-edge technology.
Design and Features
The EXP 100 GT’s sleek and muscular exterior is reminiscent of Bentley’s historic grand tourers, with a nod to the iconic R-Type Continental haunch and Blower-inspired headlights. Measuring 5.8 meters long and 2.4 meters wide, the car features a unique Compass exterior paint made from recycled rice husks and a smart, illuminated matrix grille.
Inside, the cabin is a harmonious blend of natural materials, including 5,000-year-old Copper Infused Riverwood, British Farmed Wool carpets, and embroidered cotton interior surfaces. The Bentley Personal Assistant AI system enhances the driving experience with five distinct modes: Enhance, Cocoon, Capture, Re-Live, and Customise.
Performance and Technology
The EXP 100 GT boasts a battery electric powertrain with a range of up to 700 km (435 miles) and a top speed of 300 kph (186 mph). The car accelerates from 0-100 km/h (0-60 mph) in just 2.5 seconds, thanks to its four electric motors and advanced torque vectoring system.
Sustainability
Bentley has prioritized sustainability in the EXP 100 GT, using eco-friendly materials, such as recycled rice husks, wine-making by-products, and Cumbrian crystal. The car’s air purification system and advanced biometric seating further enhance the driving experience while minimizing environmental impact.
