Bentley Motors is showing the future direction of luxury and performance with the debut of the EXP 10 Speed 6 at the 2015 Geneva International Motor Show. The EXP 10 Speed 6 concept is a British interpretation of a high-performance two-seater sports car using modern automotive design, highly skilled handcrafting, the finest materials, and 3D-printing technology.
Bentley chief Wolfgang Dürheimer said, “The show car has the potential to be the new pinnacle luxury two-seat sports car. It offers thrilling, driver-oriented performance, complete with trademark modern Bentley luxury and effortlessness.”
Bentley says the car takes advantage of modern 3D metal printing technology. “3D metal printing has allowed the grille mesh, exhausts, door handles, and side vents to be delivered with micro-scale design detail precision. The iconic Bentley mesh grille, for example, is no longer a flat plane of latticework, but includes varying depth with a complex 3D geometry only visible when viewed at an angle. Bentley’s renowned quilted leather has inspired three dimensional texture to the precision glass of the headlamps.”
