I think the VDub folks did a beyond amazing job on this.

The Continental coupe has been around a long time an a new volume model is needed.

This car oozes the money, power and elegance perceptions needed in this segment.

IMO the Bentley looks better than Aston Martin. Maybe even better than Maserati. For me this Bentley just kills everything. Rear could be maybe more aggressive though.

Default Bentley hints EXP 10 Speed 6 concept will spawn two-seater sports car


Due in three years

Bentley has dropped a few hints about a production version of the EXP 10 Speed 6 concept currently on display at the Geneva Motor Show.

Company chairman Wolfgang Dürheimer says the concept “has the potential to be the pinnacle luxury two-seat sports car” and that it represents “one vision for Bentley’s future”. The production version is expected to come out in the next three years and should carry an estimated starting price of £120,000 (about €166,400 / $180,400).

The car should ride on the MSB platform and will sit alongside the Continental GT in Bentley’s lineup. While the concept is motivated by a hybrid powertrain, the production car will likely get an upgraded version of the twin-turbo V8 4.0-liter engine while a hotter version with a beefier engine is expected to grant a top speed of at least 200 mph (322 km/h).

Bentley has mentioned the styling implemented in the EXP 10 Speed 6 concept could influence the design of future production models based on the feedback received following the concept's debut.

These look so-so-so dated compared to this model now.

Default Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 concept rendered into a shooting brake

Unlikely to happen in the foreseeable future

Theophilus Chin decided to turn Bentley's EXP 10 Speed 6 concept into a sleek shooting brake.

Bentley took the 2015 Geneva Motor Show by storm with an interesting EXP 10 Speed 6 concept which they describe as having the "potential to be the pinnacle luxury two-seat sports car." Now, Theophilus Chin transformed the coupe into a more practical shooting brake providing extra cargo capacity without ruining the design.

There are slim chances of seeing this become a reality, but Bentley is seriously analyzing the prospects of turning the concept into a production two-seater sports car which is estimated to come out in the next three years with a starting price of around £120,000 (about €166,400 / $180,400). If green-lighted for production, the model will sit alongside the Continental GT and will likely be based on the MSB platform.

Right now, Bentley is focusing on the Bentayga which is on track for a 2016 release as "world's most powerful and luxurious SUV." It will have a lot in common with the new Audi Q7 and will spawn a plug-in hybrid derivative in 2017.

Seems everything gets rendered as a Shooting Brake these days. Looks like a FF competitor

I hope this does go into production. I will add this to a list of cars I would like to own, if I was a billionaire.
