Bentley Stuns at Monterey Car Week 2025 with EXP 15 Concept

Bentley Shines at Monterey Car Week 2025 with a Blend of Heritage, Innovation, and Exclusivity

The legendary Monterey Car Week in California is back — and this year, Bentley Motors is making waves across the Peninsula. From historic icons to electrified luxury, Bentley’s presence at the 2025 event reflects a powerful narrative of tradition meeting future-forward design.

The Global Debut of the Bentley EXP 15 Concept

Taking center stage at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance on 17 August is the EXP 15, Bentley’s latest design vision concept. Publicly revealed for the first time, this long, sleek grand tourer brings Bentley’s design language into the future while paying homage to its glorious past.

Its iconic upright grille, “endless” bonnet, and rearward cabin silhouette echo the legendary 1930 Bentley Speed Six Gurney Nutting Sportsman Coupe, fondly remembered as the “Blue Train.” Both cars will appear throughout Monterey Car Week — a thrilling sight for automotive enthusiasts and Bentley fans alike.

The Home of Bentley: A Custom Experience Like No Other

Adjacent to the Pebble Beach Lodge, Bentley has established its “Home of Bentley,” a sanctuary for luxury, heritage, and personalization. Visitors will enjoy:

• A showcase of Bentley’s latest lineup
• Interactive exhibits into the craftsmanship of Crewe
• Opportunities for customers to work directly with Bentley designers to co-create their own dream vehicle

This immersive experience is a testament to Bentley's commitment to customer individuality and timeless luxury.

Electrification Meets Craftsmanship: The Latest Continental GT and Azure Models

At The Quail, a Motorsport Gathering, Bentley unveiled the fourth-generation Continental GT, GTC, Flying Spur, and the latest Bentayga Speed, marking their first public appearance in the United States.

The new High Performance Hybrid powertrain — combining a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 with an electric motor — offers an exhilarating 680 PS and 930 Nm of torque, delivering smooth, whisper-quiet performance. It’s a bold step toward Bentley’s carbon-neutral future, without compromising on power or elegance.

Adding to the spectacle is the new ombre paint finish, which seamlessly blends two colors front to back, a bespoke option available through Mulliner, Bentley’s in-house coachbuilding division. Mulliner also showcased the new Batur Convertible, offering even more personalization for Bentley’s most discerning clientele.

Rare Moments: Heritage Reimagined and One-of-a-Kind Auctions

History buffs will be thrilled with the arrival of the Mark V Corniche, a one-off masterpiece originally built in 1939. After being destroyed during WWII, the car was painstakingly recreated over the past two decades and completed in time for Bentley’s centenary. This is the first time the Corniche appears outside the UK or France, participating in the Tour d’Elegance and displayed at Pebble Beach.

Also making headlines is a bespoke Bentley surfboard made from Koa veneer from Bentley’s woodshop. Auctioned by Bonhams, the proceeds will benefit SurfabilityUK, a charity supporting adaptive surfing for people with disabilities — proof that luxury can be purposeful.
