Bentley Aero-Ace


This is an RCA project sponsored by Bentley and EXA corporation, designing a two generation away Bentley GT, that speaks to lean mid 21st century tastes, and that truly embraces aerodynamics to both reduce energy consumption and form a part of a future Bentley design aesthetic.

We needed not only to design the vehicle, but also to build ALIAS models and send them to EXA, which is a CFD analysis provider, back and forth, optimizing our design and make it the most aero-efficient, while still keeping Bentley's design language.
I made four alterations of my design throughout the project based on EXA's adivce, and manage to get my car's Cd to 3.0, which is much better than the current Continental GT model (0.35).
