The beauty of driving games is that they let your drive cars in virtual reality that you never would get to in real life. Like the Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 concept, for example.
Revealed at last year’s Geneva Motor Show, the concept foreshadows a potential Aston Martin rival from the Flying B marque. The latest reports suggest that it’s nearing production approval, but while the Volkswagen Group sorts that out, you’ll be able to drive it on your Xbox thanks to the latest expansion pack for Forza Horizon 3.
The Bentley concept headlines the new Logitech G Car Pack, released just in time for the holidays. It also features the new Mercedes-AMG GT R, the Morgan 3 Wheeler, the Jaguar F-Pace, 1992 Toyota Supra, ’96 Holden HSV GTSR, and ’65 Pontiac GTO – all ready to be played on the game that just won the Best Racing/Sports prize at the 2016 Game Awards.
Meanwhile Autocar reports that the green light is all ready to flash for the Bentley sports car, with the production location remaining the biggest sticking point at this stage. While Bentley carries out final assembly on all its models at its home base in Crewe, England, the looming Brexit has left VW with some reservations about approving another model to be built in the UK.
If its concerns are not allayed, Wolfsburg could opt to build the sports car in Germany instead. The model is expected to be based on Porsche’s new MSB architecture, so either of the factories in Zuffenhausen (near Stuttgart) or to the northeast in Leipzig could prove a safer bet. It wouldn’t be the first time that a Bentley would be made in Germany after all, with the Flying Spur having been assembled alongside the VW Phaeton at the Transparent Factory in Dresden until 2006 when it was moved to Crewe.
