Bentley Aero Ace next-gen Speed VI concept car

The brainchild of Gabriel Tam, this Bentley Aero Ace Speed VI concept is an inspiration from the original Speed 6 driven to victory by the Bentley Boys of the ’20s at Le Mans. The next-generation Speed VI vehicle will be powered by electricity and is explicitly a sporting vehicle with the aggression of the blood racer. However, it is meticulously designed while keeping in mind the elegance Bentley is known for.

The air intakes to keep the electric motors of the vehicle cool feed out to twin rear heat exhaust ducts. Integrated diffusers aid air flow and create downforce. The battery pack of the vehicle has been evenly distributed and the vehicle has a 1+1 seating layout for optimal weight distribution. Electric motors are located towards the rear of the vehicle, while the battery cells are located towards the front in an even arrangement to balance the weight.
