Tall as today"s Continental GT but longer than a Mulsanne and as spacious as a Flying Spur, Bentley"s 100th birthday present to itself is just massive. Its bigness is the first thing you notice, as a matter of fact. The doors which scissor upwards like an old Lambo Diablo"s are basically as long as a whole Smart ForTwo that"s the kind of scale we"re talking about here. But then, nothing says luxury quite like excessive amounts of space. The second thing you notice is the grille, which isn"t really a grille at all because the EXP 100 GT a glimpse of how the Bentley GT of 2035 might look is of course powered by electricity. The company claims a range of around 430 miles, a top speed of 186mph and 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds were it, y"know, a real thing The grille", then, serves a different purpose. It"s made of a kind of clear acrylic, and incorporates many individually-controlled LEDs so it can effectively communicate" with passers-by. The pattern changes depending on whether the car is in autonomous mode it"s "see or be seen", as Bentley designer JP Gregory puts it.
