The coupe SUV madness continues to spread inside the
Volkswagen Group, and after unveiling the Audi Q8 recently, the Germans are now
apparently working on a less practical version of the Bentley Bentayga.
Unofficially called the Bentley Bentayga Coupe, it’s
reportedly due next year, AutoBild reveals. And if it turns out to be true,
then expect the mandatory sloping roofline, which affects rear headroom and
boot space altogether.
It’s unknown at the time what will power it. Still, given
its unique character, we could be looking at the W12 gasoline engine, at first
at least. The twin-turbo unit produces 608 PS and 900 Nm of torque in the current Bentayga, helping it reach 100 km/h in 4.1sec, and a top speed of 301 km/h.
The Bentley Bentayga Coupe isn’t the only model
currently in development at the British firm, because they’re reportedly
looking into a Speed derivative of the SUV. This model will likely get more
power to battle it out with the 650 PS Lamborghini Urus, along
with some design changes and other possible work carried beneath the skin. The
Bentley Bentayga Speed will probably debut next year.
