The Rolls-Royce Spectre doesn’t have to fret about Bentley’s new EXP 15, because it’s not going into manufacturing. Nonetheless, BMW’s ultra-luxury model ought to nonetheless take discover of Crewe’s wild idea, because it previews a brand new design language. Moreover, the extravagant present automobile presents a glimpse into the model’s first manufacturing electrical automobile. As a consequence of be launched subsequent 12 months, it should take the type of an SUV smaller than the Bentayga, but this idea has a wholly completely different form.
The EXP 15’s profile depicts a high-riding coupe akin to the Spectre, however Bentley refers to it as a sedan. It’s no abnormal saloon, that includes an asymmetrical design with three doorways. A better look reveals two doorways on the passenger aspect, which is on the left since Bentley is a British automaker. There’s just one door on the motive force’s aspect, as if the outside wasn’t already daring sufficient.
Though the EXP 15 seems to look to the long run, Bentley claims it attracts inspiration from the distant previous. The imposingly lengthy hood and smooth silhouette are a nod to the 1930 Pace Six Gurney Nutting Sportsman Coupe, aka “Blue Practice.” We’d argue the idea automobile is simply as daring as Jaguar’s Kind 00 idea, each of which make the Spectre appear tame by comparability. Then once more, Rolls-Royce’s inaugural EV is a manufacturing mannequin you should buy, whereas the opposite two stay ideas.
Bentley says its hanging idea is over 5 meters lengthy (practically 197 inches). For reference, the Spectre stretches to a whopping 5.4 meters (214.7 inches). It’s actually a sight to behold, particularly with the super-sized panel changing the standard entrance grille, flanked by vertical lights. Bulging haunches give the profile presence, whereas C-shaped taillights and a break up roof spoiler lend the rear a spectacular look.
The inside is equally particular, that includes solely three seats regardless of the EXP 15’s giant footprint. The entrance passenger seat swivels 45 levels outward to facilitate easy accessibility to the spacious cabin. Whereas it has simply three full-size seats, the cargo space can accommodate a pair of small seats as soon as the tailgate is opened, just like the Rolls-Royce Cullinan’s Viewing Suite.
It’ll be attention-grabbing to see what number of of those eye-catching particulars carry over to manufacturing fashions. Bentley actually appears keen to check the waters with provocative designs that received’t depart anybody detached.
