Students Create Their Own Bentley Designs

The idea of designing one’s own half-million-dollar Bentley is about as appealing as Scarlett Johansson wearing nothing but chocolate sauce. Unfortunately, the average Joe doesn’t have the skills to turn that dream into reality (either with Bentley or Ms. Johansson).
This is why Bentley chose to team up with some students that actually have the skill set needed to offer a vision of the future. Bentley’s new program is a team-up with students from London’s Royal College of Art. Eighteen lucky students got to study some of Bentleys top designers and present futuristic Bentley renderings of their own. The designs went on to undergo testing in a wind tunnel.
Four of the students qualified to present their designs to Raul Pires, Bentley’s Head of Exterior Design. The winner and runner-up will score a six-month internship at Bentley’s design studio.
That sounds like the best college class ever. [via WCF]
