Alright, so Bentley has another teaser for the Bentayga, that doesn't surprise anyone at this point. However, here's a spicy details: the SUV can go as fast as 301 km/h (187 mph).
Some days ago, we met Bentayga's controversial look as a scale model found its way on the Internet. Before that, Bentley kept us on our toes with a series of video teasers, showing the car's interior and how the SUV was tested in rough winter conditions.
But this time, Bentley's engineers took the brand's first-ever SUV on the high-speed testing track where they unleashed the W12 6.0-liter TSI powerplant. As a result, the Bentayga hit 301 km/h (187 mph), allowing the car manufacturer to claim they built the fastest SUV in the world.
Bentayga's W12 engine is not a secret anymore, as some months ago officials unveiled the twin-turbo mill is good for 608 horsepower and 900 Nm (663 lb-ft) of torque. Also, it's the slightly downsized version of the previous 6.3-liter W12 mill used by the British carmaker.
Inside the Bentayga
Since this is a Bentley we're talking about, Bentayga's interior must be top-shelf in terms of luxury and comfort. There's not much info on the SUV's cabin, but here's what we can tell you so far.
The car has a digital speedometer marked at 300 km/h, and there's burgundy leather covering the dashboard. The three-spoke steering wheel is also a work of art, as its elegance is hard to go unnoticed, even for the untrained eye.
A previous teaser video also showed the SUV will feature a touch-sensitive AWD mode controller, with one of the options being Snow/Grass. Also, drivers will a built-in Start/Stop engine button at their disposal.
We're hoping to see the Bentley Bentayga in Frankfurt, so we'll keep you up to date as soon as new info emerges, so stay tuned.
