Featuring 5,000-year-old copper infused
riverwood, compass exterior paint made
from recycled rice husks, 100 per cent
organic leather-like textile from wine
making, British-farmed wool carpets and
embroidered cotton interior surfaces, the
materials paint a picture of sustainable
future luxury.
Sielaff adds: “The way we used the
riverwood and sealed it with copper is a
wonderful detail, which generates a new
creative look and feel, and is very inspiring
and surprising.
“I love the matrix grille at the front of our
Bentleys, it contains our attitude of drive
and be driven. We continued the story of the
matrix grille in the EXP 100 GT within a
completely new interpretation.
“It mutates from an air intake into
a communication front unit, which
communicates during the autonomous
driving mode through light with the
surrounding traffic partners, like other cars,
bike riders or pedestrians.
“And in consequence this inspires
a completely new aesthetic, which we
developed as a special project within the
overall project itself, together with renowned“I lOvE ThE MATRIx gRIllE...

Bentley is written into the pages of history
in such a variety of ways; the very first James
Bond cars, from the Ian Fleming-penned
novels, were Bentleys – a Bentley 4.5L Blower
and a Mark VI.
Jack Barclay Bentley, the UK’s largest and
oldest Bentley dealer, takes its name as the
man was one of the original Bentley Boys
who drove a Bentley 4.5L to victory in the
1929 Brooklands 500.
Born from Bentley DNA, there is no doubt
the Bentley EXP 100 GT will be driven into
the history books.
CEO Adrian Hallmark says: “Bentley
has, and will continue to, enhance and
enrich every single journey and the lives
of every single person who travels in, or
has the honour to be a part of creating, our
extraordinary products.”
