Bentley purists beware — the British automaker has revealed its first tow bar option.
In Bentley’s 97-year history, no model has ever been offered with a tow bar, but the company’s first-ever SUV marks another premiere. The brand from Crewe will exhibit the very first tow bar option for one of its models, the Bentayga, during this year’s Monterey Auto Week. The vehicle will also be showcased at the Quail event, as well as in Bentley’s Pebble Beach Signature Party, held this Saturday night.

Now, do not think that Bentley just placed a tow hitch on a Bentayga and called it a day. Instead, the brand from Crewe designed a retractable lifestyle option for its SUV, and put a Bowlus Road Chief on it. The pair will be showcased on the Laguna Seca circuit, where the brand will have a display in turn 10.

Bentley’s exhibit during the Monterey Car Week is not composed of the Bentayga and its new tow accessory. Instead, the brand from Crewe will bring the Continental GT Speed Black Edition, the most powerful production Bentley ever manufactured. This model can attain a top speed of 206 mph (331 km/h).

The third Bentley presence at this prestigious event comes in the form of the most luxurious model ever built by the brand, the Mulsanne Extended Wheelbase. This particular version of the Mulsanne was first launched in China, but it will now mark its U.S. debut.

As Bentley explains the existence of the Extended Wheelbase version of the Mulsanne, it is designed for those that prefer to be driven, but want to experience the level of comfort usually found in first-class air travel.

A welcome bonus will be that the car will not have to file any paperwork with any local authority for every trip, something that even private jets have to endure.

The last and final item on Bentley’s list for the Monterey Car Week, including the Pebble Beach Concours D’Elegance, is the Flying Spur V8 S, which also marks its American debut.
