The Bentley EXP 100 introduces 'leather-like' textiles, sustainable woods and paint made from recycled rice husks.
Bentley unveiled its latest prototype Wednesday, an all-electric concept car called the EXP 100.
"The Bentley EXP 100 GT represents the kind of cars we want to make in the future," said design chief Stefan Sielaff, in a new release ahead of the EXP 100's formal debut Wednesday. "Like those iconic Bentleys of the past, this car connects with its passengers' emotions and helps them experience and safeguard the memories of the really extraordinary journeys they take."
Like other high-line luxury brands, it faces numerous challenges, including new global emissions and fuel economy mandates, such as China's New Energy Vehicle, or NEV, standard that encourages buyers in Bentley's largest market to shift to zero-emission vehicles. Bentley has only partly addressed that with the plug-in hybrid version of Bentayga.
Though measures 228 inches, nose to tail, or nine inches longer than Bentley's current flagship vehicle, the Mulsanne, the EXP 100 is 1,800 pounds lighter at 4,180 pounds.
