The Bentley EXP 100 GT could very well be the most exciting concept car we’ve seen all year, and by far the most luxurious. It was presented at the beginning of July as the carmaker was celebrating its anniversary, but has since flown to America to impress the crowds there as well.
As the Monterey Car Week wraps up in California, the Brits released new images with the EXP 100 GT. These photos show the car not in a studio or on the presentation floor at Bentley HQ, but out in the open, where it should be.

The pics – which you can see in the gallery above – are for most of us the only chance we'll get to see the car in its natural environment. The concept was not designed as a precursor of a soon-to-be Bentley, but as a forefather of vehicles to be launched from 2035 onwards, and there are not as many outings of the model planned in the coming years.

To make sure as many people as possible have a chance to experience the GT first hand, Bentley launched last week a dedicated app for the car, called Bentley 100 AR.

What you'll see is a car huge by any standards. It measures 5.8 meters long and 2.4 meters wide and, when the doors are pivoted up, it measures nearly three meters in height.

With 5,000 years old Riverwood infused with copper splashed around the cabin, the EXP 100 GT is meant to be the epitome of Bentley craftsmanship and luxury, wrapped around an electric powertrain: four electric motors that give it an acceleration time of 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 300 kph (186 mph), and a battery good for 700 km (434 miles).

As said, there are no plans of the GT actually going into production, so we’ll have to enjoy it any way we can.
