One hundred years ago when the Bentley brand was founded, the company unveiled a new approach for the future of Extraordinary Journeys.To bring this vision to life, Bentley created a radical new concept car. Bentley’s vision for the future starts by creating spaces that make every journey extraordinary.
This is immediately apparent in the design of the Bentley EXP 100 GT. Its 5.8-metre body has a dramatic new face, while two-metre wide doors open upwards to create a real sense of arrival. The interior takes Bentley craftsmanship in a new direction by seamlessly fusing sustainable materials with technology.
It incorporates new directions being explored by Bentley, including the use of light in creating a wellness-enriching environment and Adaptable Biometric Seating that adds to the feeling of wellbeing.
The future of Bentley innovation is all about balance. We believe it should nurture both the individual and the world around them.
To enhance a feeling of wellbeing, the EXP 100 GT uses air curation to bring in fragrances from the natural world while keeping city pollution out. Intelligent technology is also designed to disappear from view when you want a more mindful experience.
To develop sustainable practices for every part of the concept car’s production, we collaborated with a range of like-minded businesses. From reclaimed riverwood to lighter batteries, the results point the way to a future that reduces our impact on the natural world.
Grand touring has always been at the heart of what Bentley stands for – and always will be.
The EXP 100 GT showcases a future that offers fully autonomous electric driving alongside the ability to take the wheel and enjoy the exhilarating performance that is an essential part of the Bentley DNA.
It also explores the idea of using Artificial Intelligence to curate your journey according to your preferences, with a choice of four modes.
Capture and Re-Live modes can store and replay the sights and sounds you experience. Enhance mode optimises the driver’s capabilities and Cocoon mode creates a tranquil space.
“We focus on what we do. We’ve got a very well defined target group,” said Adrian Hallmark, Bentley’s CEO.
“We’re 100 years old, and it hasn’t gone too badly for us so far. This is our vision of how we see it developing in future, not a two-seater sports car that wouldn’t fit for us.”
