Bentley Motors has scooped a prestigious award at the 12th annual GQ Car Awards, held at the five-star Corinthia hotel in central London. The #exp100gt, a centenary-defining benchmark for the future of sustainable luxury mobility, was chosen as ‘Concept Car of the Year’, and is a vision of how Grand Touring might be conceived in 2035.

The awards the absolute best in the world of #automotive #design, engineering and manufacture with a grand total of 14 categories up for judging this year.

Receiving the award, #bentley Chairman and CEO Adrian Hallmark, commented:

“It’s a great honour to accept this award for #bentley, and in particular on behalf of the extraordinary team of designers, engineers and craftspeople that created #exp100gt. The car represents every aspect of Bentley’s future, and we’re already working on introducing the #design DNA, sustainable materials and upcoming technologies showcased in #exp100gt into the next generation of Bentleys.”

Racing driver and TV soap opera star #kelvinfletcher, who became a household name after winning BBC’s prime-time 2019 Strictly Come Dancing programme, presented the award, just a few weeks after joining the GT3 racing class with JRM Racing and #bentley for this season. This is the first year he will race in the GT3 category after reigning as joint champion in the GT4 Pro/Am group with partner #martinplowman.

Bentley’s #exp100gt seamlessly blends an outstanding combination of luxury and sustainability, born of a desire to inspire customers with a future vision of the world’s most sought-after luxury marque. Autonomous and electric the concept car incorporates emotionally sensitive Artificial Intelligence in the form of the #bentley Personal Assistant that curates and captures extraordinary human journeys. Fully-automated technology means the car is equally capable of being driven or being enjoyed in driverless mode.

The future of luxury craftsmanship is manifest in a seamless fusion of materials that are luxuriously tactile and help to create a harmonious and peaceful environment dedicated to wellbeing and comfort. The exterior, with its expressive lighting, is both dynamic and dramatic. The illuminated matrix grille and Flying B mascot define a car that comes to life on approach, with light playing across the grille, along the central spine of the car into the cabin – the #exp100gt literally comes alive.

Sustainable future luxury is created through the use of 5,000 year-old copper-infused riverwood; exterior paint made from recycled rice husks; 100 per cent organic leather-like interior textiles derived from wine-making; Cumbrian crystal interfaces; British farmed wool carpets and embroidered cotton interior finishes all combine to reconnect passenger and driver to the authentic, natural world around them.

An extraordinary step on the way to a carbon-free future, with a battery-electric power train, intelligent power and charge management, optional autonomy and a carefully curated selection of exquisite materials, the #exp100gt is an environmental showcase for the sustainable future of the world’s leading luxury #automotive brand.
