With an estimated top speed of 187 mph, Bentley boasts that the Bentayga will be the fastest SUV in the world; it also shows that Bentley means business.

The claim is made possible by a twin-turbo W-12 that makes a mighty 600 hp; an eight-speed automatic drives all four wheels.

The interior can be configured to seat four or five; only the finest leather will cosset those lucky posteriors. Diesel and hybrid powertrains will be offered in the future; the Bentayga goes on sale in early 2016.

That doesn't have enough clearance to be a SUV.

Meh, I'll pass.


There's no better combination than a high center of gravity and a 600 hp W-12 propelling you to a top speed of 187 mph!

I´ve never seen a white person driving a Bentley.

A Spanish publication says they´re going after Range Rover´s market quota. I don´t know about NOLA, but whites in Atlanta have abandoned the Range Rover with the quickness, so I´d imagine there will be a big push to market this thing in Atlanta to those who have recently adopted the Range Rover.

So the license plate says it's from an island in the Pacific?

Pass.

I've only heard horrible things about Range Rover. In the shop more than on the road and every little thing costs an arm and a leg to fix.

Bentley is the worst car I ever purchased. I loved when it broke down which was quite often and they had to tow the damn thing to Houston or Atlanta for service. Some people claim the best day they ever had was the day they sold their boat for me it was the day I unloaded that piece of crap off to a dealership and bought something that actually worked.

It's not "too ugly" for me to drive, but I just don't like the big arse rims. I am hell on tires and rims.

This has to be the same platform used for the new Audi Q7. The body looks exactly the same.

That's because they break down faster than a 1970s FIAT. You can't get them out of your drive way for anyone to see you driving the car.
