Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6: taking on the world - pictures

Following the Geneva Motor Show, the concept was shown off at an exclusive event in New York to dealers and potential owners. 

Inside, there's plenty of quilted leather, wood and expensive-feeling materials - as you would expect from a Bentley concept car. 

Bentley design director, Luc Donckerwolke, said "we know what Bentley is and what it can be. This is a pure sports car, a beauty - it's the perfect blend of softness and hardness, especially inside. When you open the door, you open it

The car took two years for Bentley to perfect, but just weeks after its debut in Geneva, it's thousands of miles away in Shanghai. 

The EXP 10 Speed 6 is aimed at a younger audience than the current Bentley range. 

In true concept car fashion, the EXP 10 Speed 6 features materials inside such as quilted wood. 

There's also plenty of leather throughout the cabin. 

The EXP 10 Speed 6 is a working concept powered by a plug-in hybrid powerplant. 

The '6' in the grille harks back to Bentley's of old. 

Should the EXP 10 go into production, Bentley CEO Wolfgang Durheimer says it will be a plug-in hybrid - a first for the company. 

Intricately-designed lights are a stunning addition to the concept, but still unmistakably Bentley.
