Startech Bentley Bentayga at the Essen Motor Show 2016

After years of tuning Range Rovers and Bentley Conti GTs, Startech now has something that's bang in the middle, the "Bentley truck" as the rappers call it.

We're confident in saying that Startech now makes the number one body kit for the Bentayga regarding popularity and curb appeal.

Just like Brabus, Startech can fit the same body kit without repeating itself. And for the Essen Motor Show, their take on the Bentayga features a metallic pearl color unlike anything you've seen before.

The video below is a full walkaround of the Startech SUV from the Essen Motor Show, but we also have a few photos. As you can see, the ingredients are the same as before, but the outcome is still fresh.

The body kit as some unique touches, such as the subtly flared wheel arches or the quad exhaust pipes. Without going too much into detail, we'd mention that Startech has made the new front and rear bumpers, unique side skirts and side strakes and a full carbon fiber trim package.

The front aero makes the Bentayga look like it's growing a goatee. But the goo news is that there isn't a single piece that looks out of place on this millionaire's play toy.

New springs will ensure the ride is 25mm lower than when the Bentayga left the factory. But the low ride isn't as dramatic as the design of those STARTECH Monostar S wheels that measure 23x10.5 inches at all four corners and have been wrapped in 295/35 ZR 23 Continental SportContact 6 tires.

Since Bentley has gifted the Bentayga with wheels ranging between 20 and 22 inches, it's easy to see that this is a custom SUV, even if you don't know very much about the Bentayga.

The British uber-luxury SUV project has been harshly criticized since the EXP 9 F concept came out. But with tuning projects like this one, it's safe to say that Bentley's success is guaranteed. I wonder what they think of Startech's worth, though.
