Bentley Bentayga: black version
The Bentley Bentayga is a luxury SUV produced by British marque Bentley Motors. Introduced in late 2015, it is the brand’s first sport utility vehicle, and is considered one of the most luxurious models in that segment. Its body is manufactured at the Volkswagen Zwickau-Mosel Plant in Germany, then painted and assembled at Bentley Motor’s factory in Crewe, United Kingdom.
Bentley’s first SUV was previewed as the Bentley EXP 9 F concept car at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. The concept car was based upon the Volkswagen Group MLB platform, powered by a 6.0 L W12 engine producing 600 hp (447 kW).
The initial design of the EXP 9 F was redesigned to achieve “more traditional SUV proportions and less retro surfacing.” An early name for the model was the Falcon.
The production version was announced in July 2013. The Bentley EXP 9 F’s design proved to be controversial, and it received a mixed response from the automobile press. After some criticism for the design of the EXP 9 F, Bentley announced that it would change the styling for the production versions.photo: sps.cars
