Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6

The Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 was a concept car designed to break new territory for Bentley in terms of design, as well as provide a preview of the company's ideas for the future. The last time Bentley unveiled anything this exciting was back in 1999 with the Bentley Hunaudieresconcept.
Unlike previous Bentley coupes, the EXP 10 Speed 6 is astrict two-seater, there are no rear seats whatsoever. This means the car is sportier in its dimensions and overall character than previous vehicles like the Continental GT.
However despite its massively updated style and overall design, the car Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 is immediately recognizable as belonging to the British marque. Especially from the front where the rectangular grille is flanked by the dual round(ish) headlights. From the side the car's origins are a little harder to guess, but those sharply chiseled rear arches give the game away.

The interior of the conceptis just as stunning as the exterior. There is an entire herd's worth of top-class leather hide in there. Most of the upholstery is finished in a rich tan hue, while other elements are covered in a complimentary black. The center console features a long, thin touchscreen display set into a single piece of aluminium which runs almost the complete length of the console. The leather wrapped steering wheel is surprisingly devoid of buttons - and looks all the better for it. The digital gauges behind feature a combination of imitation analogue dials and a navigation screen.
As the Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 is just a styling exercise for now, the company has opted to keep the details of the drivetrain to themselves. Saying only that copper trim highlights used inside and out hint at the "performance hybrid potentialof the concept's advanced new powertrain". This being a Bentley there's a good chance that the drivetrain will employ and AWD setup.
Bentley introduced the EXP 10 Speed 6 at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. A production version is expected to follow in the next couple of years depending on potential customer feedback collected by Bentley.

Maserati Ghibli vs BMW 6 Series : Which Will You Buy?

When considering vehicles like Maserati Ghibli and the BWM 6 Series Gran Coupe, both reflect an effort toward blending dignified luxury with exhilarating performance. Though beholding vehicles of this caliber is always an exercise most fruitfully left to the natural eye, the image above serves as a simple example of each sedan’s inherent dignity. In lieu of experiencing each vehicle’s performance profile from behind the wheel, the table provided similarly works to demonstrate what both Ghibli and BMW’s 6 series have been engineered to accomplish. Comparing the Maserati Ghibli vs. BMW 6 Series in this regard yields a number of important emphases. Local clients will notice that both vehicles develop their identity around six-cylinder engines with a pair of strategic turbochargers. Yet regardless of identical displacement and analogous induction technology, Maserati serves its Ghibli clients with significantly greater quantities of horsepower and torque. In addition to t...

Mercedes-Benz SL550

Of all the Mercedes-Benz models that could be accused of being born with a silver spoon in its mouth, the SL arguably tops the list. Unlike many grand-touring cars, the Mercedes SL has never been forced to compromise its blue-blood personal-luxury/sport ideals with feigned attempts at practicality to please executives or attract buyers. It has, more or less, remained an unapologetic take-it-or-leave-it proposition since it debuted nearly six decades ago, and the 2013 SL550 does nothing to alter its course. Cool, Quiet Confidence Every move the 2013 SL550 makes is steeped in a competent, laid-back confidence; pin the throttle, and the car takes a moment to gather itself, as if saying to the driver, “Okay, dude, you ready? This is gonna be pretty awesome.” And with that, the seven-speed automatic downshifts, the twin turbos gorge themselves on air, and the whole shebang takes off, pulling hard to an observed 159-mph top speed (Mercedes claims an electronically limited 155). Life in th...

It also features a competition-spec fuel tank and quick-fill cap, a larger radiator borrowed from the GT3 car, a new hood with additional cooling ducts for the radiator, front wing louvres for improved airflow, reduced ride height and recalibrated damping and spring rates, 19-inch center-locking race wheels with either Pirelli slicks or wet tires, onboard air jack system, and an upgraded braking system. On the inside the McLaren 650S Sprint features a stripped-out design with a FIA-approved rol...
