Bentley EXP 15: The Electric Grand Tourer That Never Was (But Teases What’s Coming in 2026)
Bentley’s EXP 15 Speed Six concept is proof that sometimes even the wildest design daydreams serve a purpose. While the marque isn’t promising you’ll take delivery of one anytime soon, every crease and curve points straight toward its first full-electric production Grand Tourer, slated to arrive in 2026.

Drawing from the storied 1930 Speed Six “Blue Train,” the EXP 15 reimagines Bentley’s DNA for the electric age: an upright, jewel-like grille; a dramatically elongated hood; and a cabin that gracefully tapers rearward. Inside, Bentley flips convention on its head with twin rear seats up front and a cavernous storage bay in lieu of a passenger seat—because when you’re piloting a luxury EV, cargo capacity matters almost as much as leather upholstery.

The “Magical Fusion” dashboard marries analogue craftsmanship with floating digital displays in a single sweep of veneer and screen, signaling that physical switchgear and virtual controls can coexist in harmony. Up front, a new Winged B emblem—redrawn for 2025—celebrates Bentley’s all-electric, all-wheel-drive future while tipping its hat to the original 1919 design.

In short, the EXP 15 isn’t about what you can buy today. It’s about what Bentley’s clientele will expect in two years’ time: uncompromised luxury, zero emissions, and enough technological flair to satisfy even the most exacting collector. And if that concept remains forever a one-off fantasy, well—at least we know exactly where the brand’s electric aspirations are pointing.
