The Bentley Bentayga is not just a re-wrapped Audi Q7 despite sporting the same electromechanical active roll stabilization as the SQ7 TDI with its 48-volt subsystem. Instead, Bentley spent a lot of money creating something that can make you forget about fully loaded Porsche Cayenne Turbos, and an SUV that will also take on whatever Rolls-Royce is cooking up at the moment.
On tarmac, this all-wheel drive all-terrain giant that will reach 60mph in 4 seconds flat and keep on going until it hits 187mph, otherwise known as 300.94 km/h. That’s just insane. What’s in the Bugatti Chiron? A 1,478 horsepower quad-turbo W16. What’s in the Bentley Bentayga? A brand new twin-turbo W12, with 600 horsepower and 663 ft-lb of torque.
