We won’t bother writing much about the Bentley EXP 15, because it is a concept car that is not meant for sale.

But this concept is definitely worth looking it so we may as well post photos of it here.

The EXP 15, while not a production vehicle, is intended to provide a hint of the design direction of Bentley’s upcoming electric vehicles, including its first production EV, which will be revealed in 2026.

The designers used the 1930 Bentley Speed Six Gurney Nutting Sportsman coupe as inspiration for the EXP 15.

That 1930 car, referred to as the “Blue Train,” is associated with a race between Woolf Barnato, the company’s chairman of the day, and the luxury express train called Le Train Bleu.

The train and the driver raced from Cannes in south France to Calais in the north.

Barnato was already in London in his car by the time the train just arrived in Calais, the automaker says.

“The beauty of a concept car is not just to position our new design language, but to test where the market’s going. It’s clear that SUVs are a growing segment and we understand the GT market – through four generations of the Continental GT – but the trickiest segment is the sedan because it’s changing,” said Bentley director of design Robin Page in a news release. “Some customers want a classic ‘three-box’ sedan shape, others a ‘one-box’ design, and others again something more elevated. So this was a chance for us to talk to people and get a feeling.”
