Startech used to focus mainly on Range Rover SUVs and Bentley Continentals. But since the Bentayga unites the characteristics of both these models, the tuners are focusing almost exclusively on it.
The project started almost two months ago, when the sister company to Brabus unveiled new 23-inch wheels that were specifically designed for the Bentayga. After that, we discovered a video of the upgraded exhaust system, followed by today's full preview.

We call it that because we believe that we are dealing with elaborate renderings, not the real deal. But Startech has always delivered new projects quickly and with attention to details.

With all the Rocket Bunny kits that are around, it's difficult to see this as a widebody Bentayga. But it is, and all the other features have been changed too.

Startech says its OEM package includes new front and rear bumpers, side skirts, door panels, gills and a rear spoiler for the hatchback. The changes are most noticeable at the front, where the kit makes the Bentayga look like it's putting its chin forward.

The who look kind of reminds us of the Mansory Porsche Cayenne, especially the inserts between the A-pillar and the front wheel well. Speaking of which, the STARTECH Monostar S wheels measure 23x10.5 inches at all four corners and have been wrapped in 295/35 ZR 23 Continental SportContact 6 tires. That's a crucial feature if you plan on ever pushing the world's fastest SUV beyond 300 km/h (186 mph). New springs will ensure the ride is 25mm lower than when the Bentayga left te factory.

Optionally, the kit can be ordered in carbon fiber. Startech will also enhance the sound of the W12 turbo engine with a stainless steel sports exhaust system and four aluminum trim pieces. And yes, the mufflers are remote-activated.

Overall, they did a good job tuning the exotic SUV without taking away its natural character. However, the black read bumper with four exhausts make it look like a BMW M5 copycat.
