Bentley does not build many cars like the Bentley EXP 100 GT: a 2-doors 2/3-seater Coupé, built from 2019 as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. Its designer of record is JP Gregory, Bora Kim.

Where it came from

The Bentley EXP 100 GT is a concept car introduced by Bentley for its 100th anniversary, on 10 July 2019. It is Bentley's vision of a GT car for 2035. The car is a fully electric 2-door coupe, can hit 60 mph in 2.5 seconds and has a top speed of 186 mph. The car's doors open vertically and are two-meter wide and the car is 5.8 meter long.

Under the skin

it is rated at 1400 bhp. Kerb weight is 1900 kg. Power-to-weight lands near 737 horsepower per tonne, which is hypercar territory, where the limiting factor is the tyre, not the engine. The layout matters: drive goes to all four wheels, which is what lets the power be used on a wet road. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

In context

On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Aston Martin Valhalla, the Lamborghini Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo, the McLaren Speedtail. Nearby in the Bentley catalogue sit the Armoured Arnage and the Bentley 3 Litre.
