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...

McLaren 650S Sprint

McLaren’s new 650S model now comes in three flavors, the standard road going 650S, the competition-spec 650S GT3 for serious racers, and now there’s the 650S Sprint which is aimed at track enthusiasts who still want a little bit of comfort. The 650S Sprint also replaces the MP4-12C-based 12C Sprint as McLaren’s track toy for the super-rich.

Lamborghini Canto – What the Murcielago could have been?

Back in the late 1990s, when Lamborghini were starting to realise they needed a replacement for the ageing Diablo, they started reviewing design proposals from various automotive design firms. Zagato’s offering was the Zagato L147 SuperDiablo, or as it was to be later known, the Lamborghini Canto. The Lamborghini Canto first appeared in 1998, it arrived only two years after another Zagato designed Lamborghini concept had been unveiled, the Diablo-based Raptor. The cars shared a number of similar features, including the wraparound windows, triangular lateral air intakes, and trademark double-bubble roof. However of the two, the earlier Raptor was probably the better looking. Clearly Ferdinand Piech – head of the Volkswagen Group – thought so too. After VW bought Lamborghini in 1999, one of his first decisions was to review the Canto’s development and redesign the concept. The car was re-engineered and the rear extensively restyled to include smaller air intakes....
