Bentley Bentayga Coupe Allegedly On Track For 2019 Introduction

The coupe SUV madness continues to spread inside the Volkswagen Group, and after unveiling the Audi Q8 recently, the Germans are now apparently working on a less practical version of the Bentley Bentayga.

Unofficially called the Bentley Bentayga Coupe, it’s reportedly due next year, AutoBild reveals. And if it turns out to be true, then expect the mandatory sloping roofline, which affects rear headroom and boot space altogether.

The design changes won’t stop here, apparently, as the second body style of the brand’s luxury SUV might also preview the facelifted version. Thus, it could arrive with slightly reworked lighting units and bumpers on both ends, along with new trim inside.

It’s unknown at the time what will power it. Still, given its unique character, we could be looking at the W12 gasoline engine, at first at least. The twin-turbo unit produces 608PS (600hp / 447kW) and 900Nm (663lb-ft) of torque in the current Bentayga, helping it reach 100km/h (62mph) in 4.1sec, and a top speed of 301km/h (187mph).

The Bentley Bentayga Coupe isn’t the only model currently in development at the British firm, because they’re reportedly looking into a Speed derivative of the SUV. This model will likely get more power to battle it out with the 650PS (641hp / 478kW) Lamborghini Urus, along with some design changes and other possible work carried beneath the skin. The Bentley Bentayga Speed will probably debut next year.
