Bentley Goes Wild: Bentayga X Concept Breaks Boundaries
5 Feb
Summary
- Bentayga X Concept study tests interest in rugged luxury SUV.
- Features 650 hp V8, 55mm higher ride, and 550mm wading depth.
- Includes 22-inch wheels, off-road tires, and roof spotlights.
Bentley has introduced the Bentayga X Concept, a specially designed, off-road-oriented version of its luxury SUV, at the FAT Ice Race in Austria. This one-off study, based on the Bentayga Speed, aims to gather feedback on potential enhancements for a more rugged Bentayga. The concept retains the powerful 650 hp 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine and all-wheel drive system.
Significant modifications include a 55 mm increase in ride height, providing nearly 310 mm of ground clearance, and a 120 mm wider track for enhanced stability. These changes accommodate larger wheel arches and improve off-road performance, including a wading depth exceeding 550 mm. The vehicle is equipped with bespoke 22-inch forged wheels fitted with high-profile off-road tires.
Further enhancing its rugged appeal, the Bentayga X Concept features blacked-out lower body elements and a practical roof-mounted carrier equipped with four auxiliary spotlights. This carrier, demonstrated holding an electric go-kart, highlights the increased cargo capacity for extended off-road excursions. The concept also showcases an Akrapovic titanium sports exhaust and twin front towing eyes, emphasizing its adventurous capabilities.
