The Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6^[1] is a hybrid concept car by Bentley^[2] launched in 2015 at the Geneva Motor Show.^[3]

Übersicht

The Bentley EXP 10 is two seat coupe that is smaller than the Bentley Continental GT at the time.^[4] It takes its name from the 6½lit. Bentley Speed Six of the late 1920s. The project was managed by Bentley's head of design, Luc Donckerwolke.^[5]

Design

The Bentley EXP 10 Speed Six represented a new design direction for Bentley, and was a significant departure from the brand's previous styling language at the time. The Speed 6 retains Bentley's signature dual round full-LED headlamps, but the main headlamp is almost an oval-shape, but when seen from head-on it appears to be perfectly round. The second headlamps is similar to the second headlamps of the Bentayga and Mulsanne, and is smaller than the main headlamp and features an integrated headlamp-washer.

The rear tail-lights were also unique. The taillights are red-coloured glass and are in an oval shape, they protrude from the rear of the car and are full-LED taillights, and their shape is almost exactly the same shape as seen in the Speed Six's wide dual tailpipes.

The Speed Six was Bentley's first two-seater, and it featured an aerodynamic design with many different creases and lines in its body, and Bentley's signature "Flying B" design element has been the inspiration for the b-shaped crease on the Speed Six's side panels and doors. And a Flying B side-grill is present as well.

Additionally, the Speed 6 is Bentley's first use of 3D printing, with parts of the grill and other parts of the body being 3D-printed. The grill is Bentley's signature mesh-like grill, and features for the first-time a "3D design". The Speed 6 is still a coachbuilt and mostly-handmade car, just as other Bentley's are.

Inside the Speed 6 features several curved OLED displays, the first use of curved and OLED technology in a Bentley. For a car of its class, it features an unprecedented amount of leather, wood veneers, bespoke options, and interior appointments compared to its potential rivals including the Lamborghini Huracan, Jaguar F-Type, Porsche 911, Ferrari California, and others.

The Speed Six would eventually inspire the design language of the most recent Bentley products, most notably the 2018 Continental.

Powertrain

The concept car featured a V6 plug-in hybrid powertrain, the first V6 plug-in hybrid powertrain ever used in a Bentley concept or production vehicle (a V8 plug-in hybrid was used in the Mulsanne Hybrid Concept in 2014).

 == Powertrain ==
-The concept car featured a V6 plug-in hybrid powertrain, the first V6 plug-in hybrid powertrain ever used in a Bentley concept or production vehicle (a V8 plug-in hybrid was used in the [[Bentley Mulsanne (2010)|Mulsanne Hybrid Concept]] in 2014).

+== Gallery ==
-Although the concept car was shown with a V6 plug-in hybrid, the production version has been confirmed to likely include an all-electric version, which will be Bentley's first all-electric vehicle, and its second plug-in vehicle (after the [[Bentley Bentayga|Bentayga]] V8 plug-in hybrid which will arrives in 2017)

-There has been speculation of a V8 being available, the same engine used in the [[Bentley Continental GT|Continental GT]], and it is likely to be available in the production version as well. There will likely be a Speed or Supersports version of the EXP 10 Speed Six and it has been suggested that there may be a [[W12 engine]] available as well.

-It is very unlikely that there will be a diesel engine available, unlike in the Bentayga (which will feature a diesel engine as an option in 2017).

-== Production ==
-The Bentley EXP 10 Speed Six has been approved for production and will be available in coupe and convertible variants, along with a choice of all-electric, V6-plug in hybrid, V8 and possibly W12 powertrain options available. It is expected to go on sale anytime from 2017 to 2020, and will likely be shown in production form at an auto show in the latter part of 2016. The production variant could be called Barnato, a homage to former Bentley chairman and race car driver [[Woolf Barnato]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Bentley Barnato: new sports car due by 2019|url=http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/bentley/90678/bentley-barnato-new-sports-car-due-by-2019|last=Burn|first=Jonathan|website=[[Auto Express]]|date=15 June 2016|accessdate=21 August 2016}}</ref>
