Bentley EXP 12 Speed 6e brings British luxury to the EV set

Sure, it doesn't actually exist, but it's a Bentley EV nevertheless, and it's rather interesting.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

There are no specs available, but Bentley claims it's capable of inductive charging.

And, since it's a concept, cameras have replaced the side mirrors.

The steering wheel is, naturally, weird as all get out, too.

It's a looker, though.

If it comes to market, it will probably (hopefully) have a regular steering wheel.
