Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 Concept: The Future Looks Promising

After revolutionizing the high-end coupe segment with the Continental GT and shocking their fans with the EXP 9 (an SUV concept with a somewhat ''different'' look), Bentley is at it again; at the Geneva International Motor Show, they are showing us what they think the future's sports car should look like.

The EXP 10 Speed 6 isn't subtle; either you love or hate its styling. Sadly, Bentley hasn't seen fit to release any technical data on this car. Still, we think that this concept could become an entry-level production car that would slot under the Continental GT. It would still be a Bentley, mind you, so the term ''entry-level'' doesn't mean that it wouldn't feature perfect interior finish and amazing styling.

While the Speed name is a pretty clear indication that Bentley wants it to become a sports car, the ''6'' moniker might mean there's a six-cylinder under the hood... a six-pot in a Bentley would harken back to almost a century of history, especially the race-bound Speed 6 models of the 20's and 30's.

As soon as we know more, we'll share!
