Bentley Unveils The EXP 100 GT Concept — Celebrating 100 Years Of Excellence

The Bentley EXP 100 GT features an electric motor, and the company says the vehicle can go as far as 700 kilometers on a single charge. Also, the fully-autonomous car can switch into driving mode on-demand.

The luxury vehicle stands at 2.4-meters across, and features doors that pivot outwards and upwards. The manufacturer says this "adds to the sense of occasion on arrival."

Adrian Hallmark, the Chief Executive Officer at Bentley, called the concept car an embodiment of the brand's promise to deliver "extraordinary journeys" to customers for 100 years to come. While at the Bentley EXP 100 GT debut event, he said, "It is a grand tourer designed to enrich and enhance the journey for the lucky people who have one."

The car features emerging technologies such as hand-gesture controls, and seats that sense the biometric mood of the driver. The technology automatically adjusts everything including drive style, interior lighting, sound levels and fragrance.

The Bentley EXP 100 GT features a bigger-than-before silver matrix grille, and Bentley's signature round diamond-cut headlights. The car also features three-dimensional horseshoe-shaped OLED taillights that blend in with the rear. Fiber optics have been woven into fabrics on the interiors, allowing for maximum mood lighting. The roof is a full glass canopy.

Bentley has not made a statement about commercial production just yet, but the manufacturer plans to offer more hybrid cars within a four year period.

Thoughts About The Bentley EXP 100 GT Concept

We think most would agree that while the car looks like a Bentley, it feels like something is missing. It could be the extra large grille and the headlight assembly at the front. The rest of the car though, looks really great. We doubt Bentley will commercial manufacture this particular vehicle. At best, maybe a limited edition. Keep your check books ready peeps!
