Bentley next project will be the production
version of the EXP 10 Speed 6 concept. And given the company's track record, it
wouldn't be out of the question to project that the coupe will lead to a
convertible version that'll probably look pretty close to what you see here.
Bentley took the wraps off the Speed 6 concept at
the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, previewing a sportier counterpart to the Continental
GT and a challenger to the luxury grand tourers coming from rival Aston Martin.
Elements of its design – penned by Luc Donckerwolke
who's since departed for Hyundai's Genesis brand – have since worked their way
onto other models rolling out of the factory in Crewe, but we're still waiting
for the sports car itself to be approved for production. Unfortunately the
tightening of purse-strings at parent company Volkswagen in the wake of the
diesel emissions scandal may mean it'll have to wait a while longer.
We can dream of things to come
thanks to this rendering from RC-Workchop, which not only virtually removes the
roof from the EXP 10 but also gives it a sinister blacked-out look – save for
the evidently F1-inspired modern take on whitewall tires.
