Bentley has unveiled their future vision at the 85th Salon International De L’auto in Geneva. The EXP 10 Speed 6 concept is their interpretation of a high-performance two seater sports car. The car maker has also hinted that this could be a future model line to sit beside the Continental GT.

The EXP 10 Speed 6 holds an athletic and muscular shape which Bentley says shows off the “aerodynamic shapes of aircraft fuselages and wings.” The Bentley matrix grille has been newly interpreted while the British Racing Green colour has been given a deeper metallic feel.

The manufacturer tells us that they used 3D metal printing technology to allow the grille mesh, exhausts, door handles and side vents “to be delivered with micro-scale design detail precision.”

Inside holds a line which runs around the cabin going through the console, the doors and back into the console armrest. Two quilted sports seats look at the driver controls and the 12 inch touch screen. Bentley says that “the classic and purposeful Bentley knurled surface is a feature throughout the controls of the car, but now created using steel and copper together to create a two-metal 3D texture.” Two compartments to the rear of the vehicle are designed to hold a specifically designed four-piece luggage set.

Wolfgang Dürheimer, chairman and chief executive of Bentley Motors, said, “Making its global debut at the Geneva Show, the EXP 10 Speed 6 is the ultimate expression of our vision for Bentley’s future – a powerful, exquisite and individual concept. This one car showcases modern automotive design, highly skilled British handcrafting, the finest materials and advanced performance technology. This is not just a new sports car concept – but the potential Bentley of sports cars – a bold vision for a brand with a bold future.”
