Bentley previewed its entire line-up at Frankfurt, but made waves with the new Bentayga SUV.
Yes, the British car manufacturer officially unveiled its first ever SUV and the thing looks imposing in the flesh. Described as the most powerful, most luxurious, most exclusive and fastest SUV in the world, the Bentayga comes bearing an all-new twin-turbocharged 6.0-lire W12, capable of unleashing 600 Hp and 900 Nm (663 lb-ft) on all four wheels.
Bentley says the Bentayga offers a true Bentley driving experience and there’s no reason to doubt them. That serious amount of grunt is capable of launching the massive SUV from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.1 seconds, all the way to an astonishing 301 km/h (187 mph) top speed – an impressive achievement for stock sport utility vehicle, offered direct from the factory.
Of course, the Bentley driving experience means so much more than going fast; it means going fast in extreme luxury, and the Bentayga complies with the British car maker’s standards.
With a modern, luxurious interior handcrafted in Britain, the Bentayga tries to offer one of the finest automotive cabins. By respecting its core values, Bentley came up with an impressive cockpit, blending metal, wood and leather in order to create a unique environment.
“The Bentayga is truly the Bentley of SUVs. It redefines luxury in the SUV sector and offers a genuine Bentley experience in any environment, thanks to a combination of unparalleled attention to detail, go-anywhere ability and cutting-edge technology. With this extraordinary car we are looking forward to an exciting period of strong growth and sales success for Bentley. The Bentayga is the next step in our brand’s bold future”, said Wolfgang Dürheimer, chairman and chief executive of Bentley Motors.
Even though the Bentayga stole the show at Bentley’s quarters at the auto salon, the car maker also showcased its GT3 racer, the Continental GT the Mulsanne Speed and the Bentley collection, consisting of over 100 accessories embodying the Bentley brand.
