With the Bentley Bentayga now starting to reach more and more owners, it was only a matter of time until somebody took their Crewe SUV to the drag strip and we're here to show you just such an episode.
This is a Russian adventure, with the Bentayga taking part in the Unlimited 500, the country's most important drag racing series. The Bentayga got involved in a bit of a family brawl, with the Bentley going up against a Porsche 911 Turbo - we're dealing with a 991.1 Turbo, but those of you who want to see the 991.2 Turbo (S) in drag racing action can check out a story that will show you a Turbo S going up against a Lamborghini Huracan LP580-2.

Returning to the Russian drag race we have here, while the W12 bearer comes in factory stock form, this Neunelfer has been tuned by Gosha Turbo - for one thing, the German supercar manages to complete the 1,320-feet sprint in 10.5 seconds, which means its time is 0.1s better than what a Turbo S can deliver in ideal conditions.

We won't mention the time of the Bentley, though, as we don't want to ruin the fun by throwing too many spoilers at you. However, we can tell you that both the 1/4-mile and the 1/2-mile performance was recorded during the fight, so you can get a complete view of the action in the piece of footage at the bottom of the page.

Even so, it seems the Bentayga driver wanted to double check his results, which is why he went for a second run once the Porsche battle was over, this time without an oponent.

Speaking of fast, jacked-up Bentleys, we'll remind you the Brits are currently working on an even quicker incarnation of the Bentayga, which should receive the Speed moniker. And you can also check out the latest spyshots of the go-fast SUV.
