Bentley EXP 100 GT<br />

Reimagining Grand Touring for the future specifically the<br />

year 2035, Bentley Motors celebrates its 100th anniversary<br />

last year with the launch of the Bentley EXP 100 GT concept<br />

car, designed to enhance your on-the-road travels with<br />

autonomous driving technology. <strong>The</strong> car’s sleek and muscular<br />

exterior explores the brand’s unmistakable DNA with a<br />

futuristic approach. <strong>The</strong> famous R Type Continental haunch<br />

at the rear, the round headlights that overlap the grille in a<br />

nod to the famous Bentley Blower and a long graceful body<br />

hint at famous models of yesteryear.<br />

Made of lightweight aluminium and carbon fibre,<br />

the EXP 100 GT makes a statement of true luxury with<br />

decorative features crafted from copper and aluminium,<br />

both natural sustainable materials which evoke founder W.O<br />

Bentley’s choice of materials to create the alloy for his famous<br />

BR1 Aero engine piston that played a major role in securing<br />

the air theatre in World War 1. Other eco-materials include<br />

5,000 year old Copper Infused Riverwood: Compass exterior<br />

paint made from recycled rice husks, 100% organic leatherlike<br />

textile from wine making and British Farmed Wool<br />

carpets and embroidered cotton for exteriors.<br />
