Bentley Blends Heritage and 3D Tech in EXP 15 Concept Car

Bentley Motors has unveiled its EXP 15 concept, a digital project that captures both the spirit of the brand’s Grand Tourer roots while also pushing towards a future defined by sustainability, additive manufacturing, and electrification. The company recently revealed the newly opened design studio which, although not intended for production, lays out a bold foundation for Bentley’s all-new electric model expected in 2026.

The EXP 15 blends both the company’s past with tomorrow’s technology, and serves as a way to engage with its customers in a more personalized way. According to Bentley’s Director of Design, Robin Page, “SUVs are clearly growing in popularity, and while we know the GT market well through four generations of the Continental GT, sedans are evolving. Some customers prefer classic three-box shapes, others lean toward one-box designs, and some seek something more elevated. This concept allowed us to engage with customers and better understand their preferences.”

The interior design of EXP 15 incorporates both storage and luxury.

The exterior design of the EXP 15 is inspired by Bentley’s design heritage and borrows its proportions from the 1930 Speed Six. Particularly, the design features a rear-set cabin with an elongated bonnet with integrated storage and rear haunches. The front includes an upright grille with digital detailing, flanked by ultra-slim vertical headlights. A central light spine is positioned beneath the iconic Winged B emblem and runs throughout the grille with a horizontal diamond pattern. The rear of the design includes a clear surface, which Bentley calls the “Prestigious Shield,” which then merges with the tailgate of the vehicle.
