Bentley Bentayga Coupe (render)
Bentley is planning to launch a faster,
sleeker-looking version of the Bentley Bentayga SUV. The new SUV will be along the
lines of the BMW X6M, though it'll be more
expensive and faster than that car.
The Bentayga coupe-SUV will make its debut in 2017,
and may even appear in concept guise as early as the Geneva Motor Show in
March. We expect the new model to use an uprated version of
the existing car’s 6.0-litre W12. It’ll get bigger bumpers, bigger wheels and a
sportier stance, while also being less bluff and more aerodynamic. This will
help shave precious tenths off the Bentayga’s already-impressive four-second
0-62 mph sprint time. A 200 mph top speed isn’t out the question, either.
The coupe-SUV will build on the success of the new
Bentayga, which has surpassed all initial sales expectations, despite a
starting price (before options) of more than £ 160,000. A long list of extras is
likely, including 22-inch wheels, a sports exhaust and firmer suspension
set-ups.
Inside, we expect the sloping roofline to marginally
affect headroom, while the Bentayga’s 430-litre boot may suffer. But that’s
unlikely to affect sales, though, as proven by BMW’s X6.
