This off-road-focused Bentley Bentayga could go into production

Bentley has unveiled its new X Concept at the FAT Ice Race at Zell am See. The concept has been developed to gain feedback for an off-road-focused Bentayga, which means the company does intend to put it into production if the market demands it.

The Bentley X Concept is based on a Bentayga Speed. Under the bonnet is a 650 hp 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, which sends power to all four wheels via an eight-speed transmission.

The concept SUV rides on air suspension and is equipped with Bentley Dynamic Ride, Bentley’s 48V electric active anti-roll control system.

The X Concept rides on forged single-piece 22-inch wheels that were created by Brixton specifically for this car. The wheels are shod with off-road tires. The wheel arches have been extended by 40 mm to accommodate the wider tires.

The suspension has also been revised. The track width has increased by 120 mm, and the ride height has gone up by 5 mm. Other modifications include a titanium sports exhaust from Akrapovic, towing eyes and a roof carrier.
