Bentley Design Contest: Should Any of These Designs Get the Nod?

By Ed Hellwig | February 1, 2010

Bentley recently held a design contest with some promising students from the Royal College of Art. They were told to come up with some ideas for Bentleys of the future. The winner gets a six-month stint as an intern with the Bentley's in-house design studio.

So what do you think? Any of these guys have a future?

Can't say I really like any of them. The first one's grille, though current does not work at all with the rest of the car. The only design element I care for is the rear of the last picture.

the top pic is the best interpretation of "Bentley" IMHO.

It looks like Bentleys of the future are all going to be 2 seaters or 2+2s, long, low-slung, and swoopy. I kind of think Bentleys should have a measure of upright British luxury, although I guess for the Continental GT these shapes would be alright.

And a random question: is it Bentlies or Bentleys?

Never thought about pluralizing the name before, haha.

I think its "Bentleys", since you probably wouldn't change a proper name to pluralize, but then again I'm just an engineer.

These concepts are interesting, and I would say each is qualified for an internship, where they should learn the interplay with practical chassis implications and drivetrain layout.
