Bentley Bentayga vs Range Rover SVAutobiography Drag Race Is a Humiliating Fight

Before you ask yourself why anybody would want to drag race a Bentley Bentayga against a Range Rover SVAutobiography, you could wonder why the world needs such overly muscular SUVs in the first place.

But we're not here for such questions, as we want to focus on the said straight line brawl instead. We're dealing with a standing kilometer here, one that sees the Brits over at Auto Express putting their... national SUVs through their paces.

The clip also includes all the numbers you'll ever need, so we'll quickly go over the on-paper part that should accompany such a battle.

However, while we're talking about monstrously quick SUVs, we need to mention two other behemoths that would've been welcome to such a race.

The first would the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S. With its 570 hp output and a pricing that places it in between the two British models seen here, the Turbo S would be extremely close to the Bentayga in terms of performance, albeit still falling behind the W16 bearer.

Then there's the Tesla Model X. Given the sheer electric grunt of the Palo Alto SUV, we simply can't ignore it. In fact, we'll do more than drop a Model X mention here.

As those of you following our drag racing stories remember, we brought you an acceleration comparison involving the Tesla last week. This aw the current range-topper, namely the P90D being measured agaist another Range Rover, this time the Sport SVR.

And while the two didn't get to play side by side, their instrument clusters were recorded during some runs on a derestricted section of the German Autobahn - here's the story in case you missed it.

However, the world of uber-SUVs is on its way to becoming even more eccentric, from the spied Bentley Bentayga Speed to Lamborghini's second SUV, the Urus.
