Bentley EXP 15 Concept Showcases what their Future Cars will look like

Bentley has postponed its plan to become fully electric from 2030 to 2035, now following a new strategy called Beyond100+. The company aims to introduce its first fully electric vehicle in 2026, which will serve as a stepping stone toward achieving its long-term electrification goals while adapting to the current economic and legislative environment.

The new Flying Spur features an Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain that combines a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine with an electric motor, delivering a total output of 771 bhp and 1,000 Nm of torque. This is a notable upgrade over the previous W12 engine, providing better performance and reduced CO2 emissions, with an electric-only range of up to 72 km.

Bentley's new Design Centre, which is set to be completed next year, will be twice the size of the previous facility and will host about 50 designers. This expansion is part of Bentley's £2.5 billion investment plan aimed at transitioning to a fully electrified product range and fostering a creative environment for developing future BEV models.

Bentley's first fully electric vehicle, set to debut in 2026, is anticipated to carve out a new niche in the luxury car market. The vehicle will be designed and developed at Bentley's Crewe headquarters and aims to establish a unique segment that distinguishes itself from existing competitors, reinforcing Bentley's commitment to luxury and performance.

Bentley has introduced a High-Performance Hybrid powertrain across its Continental GT, GTC, and Flying Spur models. This new 4.0L V8 plug-in hybrid system produces 670.6 bhp and offers electric-only ranges of up to 85 km, showcasing Bentley's shift towards electrification while maintaining high performance and luxury standards.
