The W16 display car, which was a concept called the Hunaudières had a cab-forward design with sleek looks and was done up in British Racing Green. The concept car had more chrome than Ludacris’ Escalade. At the Geneva Motor show, the British carmaker Bentley, as one of the top brands in Volkswagen Group, has come up with some of the most amazing innovations and design concepts that we have seen in the recent times. The project was conceived as a virtual mid-engined successor to the 1999 Hunaudieres Concept.
Two industrial design students from China, Shawn Wood and Guohua Cheng from China’s Tainjin Academy of Fine Arts took upon themselves to bring the Hunaudières back in contention. It is for these two students that have caused the Hunaudières to become alive again in the form of a design study called the Bentley Silver Wings. One of the pictures on internet spells it ‘ Filver Wings’ , but experts believe that it was a typo. Even though the Concept Car - Bentley Silver Wings Concept is more of kind of hodgepodge or kind of made up of miscellaneous or incongruous ideas put together in the design with inspiration from Bentley, Zonda, Aston Martin, and Saleen, yet auto experts feel that the new hodgepodge design still has some kind of charm about it.
The Silver Wing concept car uses a harmonious mix between mid-engine layout and aggressive design cues. The front end uses an aggressive layout built around Bentley’s characteristic domed grille and headlights that draw inspiration from the company’s current design language. The exterior also includes large rear air intakes for the rear brakes, and the 20" or 21" alloy wheels.
The front end of this vehicle features an aggressive front splitter and air intake set up to emulate the F22 Jet and is characterized by the trademark Bentley domed grill and twin circular headlights. The Bentley Silver Wings Concept also features a raised beltline and diminishing character lines that help define the supercar embodiment of this concept and elongate the rear-end of this vehicle. This really is the Bentley of supercars...
The vehicle is a hybrid between a mid-engine layout and design features aggressive. The front end uses an aggressive layout built around Bentley’s trademark curved grille and round headlamps, the inspiration from the current design language to attract business.
