Rapper 2 Chainz is really into cars, and even though we don't always agree with his choices, there's no denying his passion. He did a series of videos for GQ magazine regarding the ownership and customization of exotics, for example.
And apparently, the Atlanta fellow predicted the future way back in 2011 when he mentioned an upcoming “Bentley Truck” he was searching for online that didn’t exist yet.
At the time, Bentley wasn't going to make the Bentayga, but maybe customers like him persuaded the Brits to take on the Range Rover.
Fast forward to today, and this is apparently 2 Chainz's 2017 Bentayga. Forgiato presented it on their blog recently as such, but they might just be dropping names or joking around. It's not on his Instagram, but this is definitely something he would have, especially with these wheels.
The Bentayga story began in 2012 with the EXP 9 F concept car, harshly criticized for its design. The rationale behind it was and still is very simple: if most of your customers are from China, the US and the Middle East and they already own an SUV, why not make it a Bentley SUV?
And so they did, with parts borrowed from other companies with the VW Group, including the platform of the Audi Q7. Under the hood is an all-new W12 engine with lots of power, torque, and turbochargers.
Transporting styling from a sports car to an SUV is nearly impossible to get right the first time. Just ask the Porsche Cayenne and MINI Countryman. That's why Bentley went back to the drawing board with the EXP 9 F and eventually came up with the design we have today. Some say that it's just a Conti GT pasted over an Audi, and that's partially correct.
However, we can't ignore that celebrities in general, not just rappers, want to epitomize everything they do. It plays on their persona because us regular mortals believe only famous people do amazing things. That's probably why you'll never see a banker in a Bentayga.
