Bentley’s first all-electric car arrives next year. Today, we get a preview in the form of the EXP 15, which is one of the strangest things we’ve ever seen from the British automaker. It’s a tall, three-seat electric car with two doors on the left side, and one door on the right side.
Bentley designers took inspiration from a 1930 Speed Six three-seater named “Blue Train” after a famous race owner Woolf Barnato ran against a French train. Bentley calls the EXP 15 a “sedan,” though it has a coupe profile more like a Continental GT, and indeed, the 1930 Speed Six. There’s a seat behind the (right-hand) driver’s seat, and one on the left rear of the car. In renderings, Bentley even shows a bespoke dog bed that sits ahead of the left-side passenger seat. There’s also a tailgate at the back, with in-built picnic chairs, presumably for watching polo from.
As EVs don’t need a big grille to cool an engine, Bentley instead opted for a decorative lighting element its head exterior designer, Robin Page, calls a piece of “digital art.” Like previous combustion-powered Bentleys, there’s an extremely long hood, but without an engine, Bentley had room to create two storage panels, accessed by center hinging doors.
