Bentley's Future Perfect

摘要

"Birthdays are a time for reflection, but they're also a time for planning forward," says John Paul Gregory, head of exterior design for Bentley Motors Ltd. "To figure out what type of person-or brand-you want to be."To celebrate its centenary, on July 10 the exclusive British brand unveiled a concept car, the EXP 100 GT. Two feet longer than a Cadillac Escalade but featuring only two doors, the battery-powered grand tourer boasts sustainably sourced paint and wood. And everything from the extensive battery range to the high-tech window glass is meant to showcase the company's plan for top-tier motoring in 2035. That vision includes self-driving technology that can still provide a visceral connection to the road and retains the joy of driving.
