Bold Moves in Luxury Automotive Design
It seems plenty of folks aren’t thrilled about the audacious reboot at Jaguar, which has opted for a daring electric coupe with a six-figure price tag. However, hold onto your driving gloves; Bentley is hot on their heels with a design that truly pushes boundaries. Enter the Bentley EXP 15 concept.
More Than Just a Concept
While Jaguar’s new offering might be turning heads, the Bentley EXP 15 outshines it with an avant-garde flair that is anything but conventional. This tall, three-door setup boasts an almost SUV-like stance and features a flat, angular grille that can only be described as striking. Coupled with a rear that slopes into a coupe-like silhouette, the EXP 15 challenges the very notions of luxury automotive design. In fact, it resembles a Polestar more than any Bentley we’ve seen. But don’t be too quick to judge; sometimes, change brings about revolutionary beauty.
A Nod to History
Bentley asserts that the EXP 15 concept draws inspiration from its storied past. Take, for instance, the iconic upright grille and the elongated ‘endless’ bonnet reminiscent of the 1930 Bentley Speed Six Gurney Nutting Sportsman Coupe, affectionately termed the ‘Blue Train.’ Yet, where the EXP 15 diverges sharply is in its powertrain. With an all-electric, all-wheel-drive engine on the horizon, details on its battery size remain under wraps, but Bentley is adamant that this creation has been engineered to go the distance.
As we revel in this peek into the future, one thing is clear: the new era for Bentley is beckoning with a design that’s anything but ordinary. Buckle up, enthusiasts; the future promises to be exhilarating!
