Since Jaguar took a big leap and showed the F-Pace SUV during the Grand Depart of Tour de France this weekend, one question must be asked: is Bentley's Bentayga ready for production?
The answer comes from our carparazzi, or to be more exact from the latest batch of photos they sent us. It's not the first time we're able to show you the Bentayga rocking the Nurburgring, but it looks like this time the Green Hell kind of shook Bentley's first-ever SUV.

According to our team of spy photographers, the Bentayga test mule suffered a breakdown in Nurburgring. The prototype seems to have rolled to a stop in the Steilstrecke area, where the two engineers had to park their prototype to the side of the race track.

The safety car couldn't provide any assistance, but engineers managed to start the car again after pressing a few buttons on their laptops and the SUV slowly finished the lap.

In any case, these things are bound to happen and shouldn't be seen as peculiar events. As a bonus, two pictures in the photo gallery reveal the small rear side window without any camouflage, but that doesn't mean much at this time since the rest of the car is still guarded by shape-hiding foil.

So far, Bentley provided two official teasers for the Bentayga, both revealing to some extend the SUV's interior configuration. In another video shot and posted on YouTube by a random user, we can see the Bentayga looking like an elephant having a go at ballet dancing on the same Nurburgring circuit, despite Bentley's claims that their future car will master driving dynamics like a pro.
