What will a car look like in the year 2035?
5 August, 2019
Will it have wings already and what kind of material will be used for its construction? To celebrate 100th birthday Bentley decided to solve this puzzle and last week presented the EXP 100 GT concept car that demonstrates the design of the future grand tourers of this British brand.
Made from lightweight aluminium and carbon fibre components, Bentley's latest concept car incorporates what the company describes as an array of sustainable materials.
For example, a specially elaborated exterior paint, Compass, is made from recycled rice husk ash, an industrial by-product that would normally end up in landfills.
Cabin trims are created from 5,000 year-old copper infused 'river wood' (recovered from the bottom of peat bogs), natural leather with a light aniline preparation of only 2 per cent pigment spray, and a textile derived from the surplus grapes and branches left over from winemaking yet still offers the feel of leather.

Future battery technology will offer five times the conventional energy density and charging the Bentley EXP 100 GT to 80 per cent of capacity will take only 15 minutes. The charging process will be executed by the Bentley personal assistant (AI). Weight is said to be 1900 kg and a range of 435 miles will be possible without single charging.
"The Bentley EXP 100 GT represents the kind of cars we want to make in the future," said Bentley director of design Stefan Sielaff.
"Like those iconic Bentleys of the past, this car connects with its passengers' emotions and helps them experience and safeguard the memories of the really extraordinary journeys they take," he added.
