DRIVEN: WORLD EXCLUSIVE: AT THE WHEEL OF THE BENTLEY EXP 10 SPEED 6
APRIL 6, 2015
By: Georg Kacher | Photography by
Berlin, Germany – By midafternoon, the last rain clouds pass over the imposing semi-circular building complex that once was West Berlin’s Tempelhof airport. Half an hour later, the vast stretch of tarmac has dried up and the Bentley boys are ready to roll out the EXP 10 Speed 6, the star of the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. We’re about to go for a drive.
The Bentley EXP 10 was designed by Sang Yup Lee -- best known for the exterior of the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro -- under the direction of Luc Donckerwolke. They’ve managed to link the car visually to its Bentley brethren, even if there are some Aston Martin and Jaguar elements, too. We hear the next Continental GT will grow bigger, roomier, and more comfortable. The EXP 10 caters to a more adventurous crowd. First of all, it’s smaller -- closer in proportion to a Jaguar F-Type than the current Continental. It sits closer to the ground and is lower slung overall. It also dares a more aggressive front end and has lascivious rear fenders. Kudos to Lee for using sculpture rather than bling to convey a sporting message.
The Bentley concept was completed just in time for last year’s Paris Show, but at the 11th hour the bosses pulled the pin, claiming the car still needed styling tweaks and more attention to detail. We are not familiar with the scope of changes made, but we can assure you that the EXP 10 is now a fantastic-looking car that conveys the proper sense of occasion.
The swan-wing door swings up on a massive single hinge, inviting exploration of its lavish interior. There is not a single synthetic item in sight. The dominant material is leather, dyed saddle brown and contrasting dark green. Also laid out in abundance is polished metal, mostly chrome with copper accents. There’s plenty of wood, too, but instead of the traditional high-gloss timber, designers chose an open-pore cherry veneer for the double-decker dashboard. The door panels are milled from solid wood, with a diamond pattern mimicking the stitching of the seats. A tall but slim center console rises in Porsche Carrera GT fashion and houses a round mode selector, a gear lever, and a large touchscreen. Perhaps the most exotic detail is the main display, which consists of four analog gauges on the left and a digital screen on the right. The entire cluster rises from a horizontal sleeping position to an upright angle when the car is turned on. The interior is, in short, exquisite.
Kevin Baker, head of design modeling for Bentley and one of the babysitters on hand today, looks down at the tall man who has just folded himself into a surprisingly relaxed Z-position behind the wheel. “Now let me show you how to operate this valuable one-off.”
The ignition button, it turns out, is but a glistening dummy, as is the beautifully finished gear lever. The controls that kick the Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 into action are housed in a small, leather-wrapped box hidden under the dashboard. First, flip the toggle switch to turn on the ignition. Next, stab a small black rubber button to fire up the engine. Wait a couple of seconds before selecting drive or reverse by pushing the appropriate lit symbol.
Although this concept is clearly not a production car, it’s also no fake. Rather than electric motors or hamsters, the Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 gets power from a naturally aspirated 4.2-liter V-8, the same one we know and love from the Audi R8 and RS5. It breathes through a custom exhaust that no legal authority in the world would approve. Just above idle speed, the V-8 tattoos the concrete slabs of the old airfield with a wild and angry noise very much unlike that of a typical Bentley. With a subtle confirmation jolt, the seven-speed automatic, also sourced from an RS5, duly engages first gear. We’re off.
The steering, lifted from an R8, responds promptly and accurately, but the maximum permitted steering angle, half a turn, is only just enough to describe a grand arc from the departure to the arrivals terminal. The most irritating trait by far is a grinding noise emitted from the wheelhouses; there is virtually zero clearance between the 21-inch, tailor-made Pirelli slicks and the flared arches. We brought along provisional license plates, but clearly this hand-built green goddess shouldn’t be out and about in city traffic.
In the splendid isolation of a defunct airfield, however, it seems reasonably safe to speed up the action by a fraction. With Baker in the passenger seat, the EXP 10 takes off with enough momentum to eventually slip into second gear. I am, under supervision, allowed to dial in a bit more steering angle. And at the end of the hangar straight, the shiny copper calipers grab the discs (carbon-ceramic rotors courtesy of the R8) with a mix of pursed lips and sharp teeth. A production version, of course, wouldn’t be cobbled together from late-model Audi components. Instead, Bentley might look to another corporate cousin, Porsche, which is engineering a new turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8. Or perhaps Bentley could adopt a twin-turbo V-6 from the corporate parts bin, which would make for a closer tie to the Speed 6 of yore. We asked Bentley R&D chief Rolf Frech, formerly with Porsche, to discuss the possible engines. He did not answer the question, but his smile was so broad that anything other than a V-8 engine would be a big surprise.
Either engine could and likely would be combined with a powerful hybrid module, like the one Porsche is developing for the next Panamera. (The concept boasts two filler caps.) Combined gas-electric output is bound to be around 600 hp. According to a source from the Midlands, the unofficial goal for 0-60 mph acceleration is just under 4 seconds, and top speed aims to exceed 200 mph.
Many more Porsche bits will likely be under the skin. Bentley aspires to tap the new components set that Porsche is developing for the second-generation Panamera. The main advantages of this architecture are proportion -- it supports a mid-front engine layout -- and weight. The next Continental GT will also be based on this platform and will likely tip the scales at less than 4,000 pounds, so it’s reasonable to think the target for the smaller Speed 6 must be in the area of 3,850 to 4,000 pounds. That’s in the ballpark of an Aston Martin DB9 .
In its journey to production, we hear the Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 will get a longer wheelbase to create more head- and legroom. It will also ditch its top-hinged opening rear window for a conventional trunklid. The wild front lights must be brought in line with global legal requirements, and the grille theme is not yet final either. If early criticism voiced by Volkswagen Group bigwigs is anything to go by, the crayon masters may also be urged to modify the rear side windows and the C-pillars.
All sounds like a good starting point. But to make an impact as a purebred driver’s car and to feel sufficiently different from a Continental, the EXP 10 also needs rear-wheel drive and a strong emphasis on vehicle dynamics. Bentley might look to its GT3 racing effort for guidance .
Frech seems to understand. “EXP 10 is our vision of a powerful yet luxurious two-seater sports car. This model would not only be about traditional brand values like design and quality. It would also have to be among the very best in terms of performance, handling, and road holding.”
In the course of the last year, we asked VW Group chief Martin Winterkorn, design director Walter de Silva, and Bentley chairman Wolfgang Durheimer to name their most-hoped-for addition to the Bentley portfolio. The unanimous answer was a V-8-engined Aston fighter.
Off the record, the bosses were happy to share more far-reaching thoughts. Their list of ideas linked to the EXP 10 included a roadster, a racing version, and a lightweight special. It could also spawn a larger Porsche GT.
But that’s all in the distant future. Figure production by 2019. In the here and now, we’re having a blast in the Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 concept, putting colonies of corbies to flight with one step of the loud pedal and signing the tarmac with hand-carved Italian rubber at the words “go, go, go!” This exercise also makes it clear that some essential qualities are already in place. The visibility, for instance, is excellent, and the packaging suffices for two passengers. The low, supportive seat feels perfectly in line with Bentley’s dynamic ambitions.
The security people chase us off before sunset, but the smile on my face remains as bright as the Bentley’s LEDs until bedtime.
This project is an absolute no-brainer. The Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 concept fuses brio and technology, looks and craftsmanship. In view of these assets, the projected production of 3,000 units per year may be a crass example of false modesty.

The 'Aston Martin' elements are gorgeous. But It's got a face only a mother could love.
I repeat once again. Remove the Bentley badge, stick a Chinese one on there and 90% of you guys would be screaming FUGLY!

as aforementioned, the rear and side are good-looking, if a bit generic GT (ducktail spoiler, front fender vents, coke-bottle profile, etc.) The front is rather amphibious (which the BRG paint scheme does not help) and "amphibious" and "Bentley" shouldn't be in the same sentence.

Exclusive: Bentley EXP10 Speed 6 Confirmed for Production
GTspirit has received confirmation that one of the highlights of the Geneva Motor Show 2015, the Bentley EXP10 Speed 6 Concept, has received the green light for production.
Following overwhelming positive feedback from customers and dealers alike it is a logical next step in Bentley’s master plan to become a more dynamic brand.
The Bentley EXP10 Speed 6 is likely to go into production in slightly altered form. Challenges will of course include the implementation of airbags. Additionally, the extensive use of carbon fibre throughout the chassis of the concept could be replaced with a more conventional mix of aluminum and steel. The goal is to create the most dynamic Bentley yet and to keep the weight well below 2000 kg. Any drivetrain is possible from a Bentley W12 to a Volkswagen Group derived plug-in hybrid powerplant.
From an exterior styling standpoint, the production-spec Bentley EXP10 Speed 6 will also adopt a number of changes. Last month, Bentley and Bugatti executive Wolfgang Durheimer revealed that the headlights will be modified and that a more steeply raked front grille will be installed.

CAR DESIGNERS DON’T WANT TO CRAM IN BIGGER SCREENS, THEY WANT NO SCREENS AT ALL
As the smartphones in our pockets and tablets on our desks have rocketed forward in recent years, the screens in our cars – so-called “infotainment systems” – haven’t really kept pace.
Though there are good reasons for this, which we recently delved into. Automakers are still acutely aware of the technological lag time between cars and personal communication devices. And delightfully for us, they’re keen to close the gap … or simply eliminate the gap altogether.
While in Switzerland for the Geneva Motor Show earlier this month, I had a chance to sit down with a few of industry’s tech and design leaders to discuss just where the world of in-car infotainment is headed and how automakers are solving the pesky problem of infotainment screen integration.
As it turns out, screens won’t be getting bigger — they’ll be disappearing.
Designing around screens
Both Luc Donckerwolke, Director of Design at Bentley, and Audi Design Chief Marc Lichte independently admitted to me that they have both struggled with designing vehicle interiors around infotainment screens. Screens are, as Donckerwolke puts it, “old-fashioned, black rectangles” that immediately dominate and compromise any evocative and distinctive design.
It makes sense: Screens — or similar technology — immediately date a car. Perfectly emphasizing that point, Donckerwolke recalled during our discussion the 1976 Aston Martin Lagonda. Though undoubtedly beautiful for its time, it featured a cutting-edge LED dashboard and touchpad controls, which, according to Donckerwolke, weren’t yet ready for production.
The choice to implement the technology might have captured the public’s attention the world over, but it also relegated the Lagonda to becoming a relic of ‘70s science fiction, rather than a timeless design showpiece. This is the sort of dilemma facing automotive designers to this day, especially for brands like Audi and Bentley, which are both keen to remain timeless – inside and out.
If fouling a design weren’t problem enough, obsolescence is another hurdle facing designers. “Due to production lag time, there will be two generations of iPhone before we can bring any car to market, which I think is a weak point for the future,” Donckerwolke admitted.
Accordingly, both designers and their teams have worked to remedy this issue with new design concepts, each with a distinctive solution. Lichte’s Prologue and Donckerwolke’s EXP 10 Speed 6, which aim to achieve drastically divergent goals, both incorporate curved screens in the center console. It’s this curvature that brings more of a natural and organic flow to the lines of the cabin.
Lichte believes a screen cannot be allowed to dominate or dictate an interior design. “That’s why we said, ‘no,’” Lichte excitedly added. “We have to integrate them into the architecture of the interior – almost invisible.”
Simply hiding the screens within the lines of the interior isn’t a long-term solution for either designer, however. Exactly how the two designers aim to seamlessly include future infotainment technology in their cars is as different as the brands they shape.
No screens at all
For Lichte and Audi, the evolution of interior infotainment has been diverse. Rather than simply slapping a big screen into the center console, the German automaker has implemented two distinctive technologies: Virtual Cockpit and Audi Tablet.
Though clever and certainly more visually appealing than a Tesla-like tablet in the dash, neither is indicative of the direction the brand is headed for the future. Instead, Lichte sees screens giving way to projection.
“In two or three generations, cars don’t have screens anymore,” Lichte predicts. “Everything will be projected.” The technological concept of projecting information onto a vehicle’s glass isn’t revolutionary, though, as many new cars offer head-up display (HUD) as an optional extra. In fact, General Motors pioneered it in the 1990s.
More over, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has been playing with taking the technology from a small portion of the windshield to encompassing the whole greenhouse for around a year now. It has shown concepts of HUD-like “smart glass” technologies in its Discovery Concept Vision and the laser-projected augmented reality in its XE that projects point of interest and detailed navigation directions out into the world ahead.
“In two or three generations, cars don’t have screens anymore; everything will be projected.”
When I prodded JLR about the future of the technology, though, its representatives admitted widespread laser projection augmented reality is held back by both the size of the projectors and the heat they put off.
The solution is one that makes sense for the Audi brand, as it is an automaker that prides itself in its technology.
For Bentley, a far more luxury-obsessed brand, Donckerwolke sees a different solution. Instead of further integrating screens into his interior designs or implementing projection and augmented reality, he’d rather infotainment be controlled by the owner’s personal smartphone or similar device.
While perhaps not as techy, Donckerwolke’s solution makes sense. After all, do lasers, leather, and wood truly go hand-in-hand?
“I’d much rather have something where you could plug in your communication interface and not have any onboard instruments,” Donckerwolke said. “A screen is always a trip to the past.”
Rather than lasers or smart glass, Bentley prefers to instead invest in old-world materials like increased use of wood and 3D-printed steel and copper, as we saw with the EXP 10 Speed 6, which bring the car’s cabins closer to that of their pre-infotainment predecessors.
In-car renaissance
Not only are the mental images of laser-augmented reality and smart glass fun to conjure, so too are the visions of automotive interiors unencumbered by screens. We could see a new renaissance of car cabins, much like we had in the ‘50s and ‘60s, when interior designs weren’t dictated simply by features but by visual dynamics, themes, and aesthetics — mostly rocketships.
It is sort of antithetical to think to that cars, in order to become more tech savvy, need to break away from screens altogether … but it’s true. In a few generations, your car could offer more engaging infotainment in a more natural way, leaving the living space layout to be influenced by refinement and comfort rather than a black rectangle.
Automakers may never be able to catch up — and keep up – with tech firms like Apple and Google. Frankly, trying to would be a waste of energy anyhow. Instead, shifting to a technology that compliments consumer tech, rather than competing with it, will allow carmakers to what they do best: design and build evocative and awe-inspiring vehicles.

Really interesting article Wolfgang.
This is a bigger problem for brands like Bentley because the emphasis is on aesthetics with the intention of remaining desirable for a very long time
I don't think screens in vehicles like the S class or Audi A8 are such a problem because it is part of the manifesto of these vehicles to offer the latest and best technology currently available - they are very much designed for the present ....their successors will satisfy future desires and requirements.
I don't believe anything can be truly timeless .....in a technologically obsessed world our tastes and the way we live are continually changing.

I wouldn't mind getting rid of these built-in televisions that we have seen invade the car industry.
With the amount of time that we spend looking at screens these days (TVs, cell phones, laptops, navigation screens, etc.), I can't help but wonder how quickly this generation's eyesight will deteriorate.
