The Bentley EXP10 Speed 6 Concept from the Geneva Motor Show in March has walked away with the Design Award for Concept Cars & Prototypes at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2015. Villa d’Este 2015 represented the sports car’s fourth public outing after Geneva, New York and Shanghai.
A panel of judges awarded the prize to Bentley design director Luc Donerwolke last Saturday. The judges believed that the EXP10 Speed 6 was the finest concept car or prototype on display at the show and the best celebration of the future of the automobile industry.
Bentley’s EXP 10 Speed 6 concept shows the future direction of luxury and performance using the finest materials and advanced hybrid technology – a powerful, exquisite and individual concept.
Discussing the award, Luc Donkerwolke said “EXP10 Speed 6 is the most talked-about concept car of recent times and was the star of the show in Geneva earlier this year. Since then it has visited New York and Shanghai gauging reaction from dealers, customers and the media. This highly coveted award is further proof of the success of our quintessentially British design.”
The Bentley EXP10 Speed 6 has already been given the green light for production. Following overwhelming positive feedback from customers and dealers alike it is a logical next step in Bentley’s master plan to become a more dynamic brand.
From an exterior styling standpoint, the production-spec Bentley EXP10 Speed 6 will also adopt a number of changes. Last month, Bentley and Bugatti executive Wolfgang Durheimer revealed that the headlights will be modified and that a more steeply raked front grille will be installed.
Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este has taken place every year since 1929. It is located on the shores of Lake Como and brings together owners and aficionados of historic vehicles from right around the world.
