Bentley confirms it will build the EXP10 Speed 6

See the future of Bentley’s design ambition. Today.

This is a first look at the British carmaker interpretation of a pinnacle luxury, high performance two-seater sports car. A bold statement, and one which reflects Bentley’s progressive ideology in the use of ultra-modern automotive design, highly skilled handcrafting, the finest materials and advanced performance technology.

After showcasing the car concept at 2015 Geneva motor show, Bentley has confirmed that it will build a production version of the EXP10 Speed 6 concept. The British carmaker’s chairman Wolfgang Dürheimer, confirmed Bentley will continue to expand its range after launching its first SUV, the Bentayga, in early 2016, with the two-seater EXP10 sports car part of the plan. Durheimer said: “We are currently evaluating two options – the EXP10 and a second SUV. But it’s not a question of which one we do, but which one we do first.”

Muscular, athletic bodywork echoes the inspiration drawn from sleek, aerodynamic aircraft forms. Bentley designers have sought, and found, a harmony between sharp lines and flowing surfaces and have evocatively harnessed the twisting, sculpted surfaces to imply speed.

The inspiration for the interior comes from the continuous line that runs around the cabin, driving through the console into two symmetrical wings before flowing into the door and looping back into the console armrest. Two quilted sports seats are positioned either side of the narros centre console which houses exquisite driver controls and a highly intuitive 12" touch screen. These features combine futuristic technology seamlessly with progressive Bentley craftsmanship.

According to Sang Yup Lee, Bentley’s Head of Advanced Design, say everything: "When I judge a sports car, I have a simple logic. Unless you fall in love with it at first sight, the car is a failure."
