Bentley’s Off-Road Ambitions
Bentley has introduced its latest creation, the X Concept, during the FAT Ice Race at Zell am See. This prototype is designed to gauge interest in an off-road-oriented version of the Bentayga, hinting at a potential production run if consumer demand aligns.
Performance Specs
The X Concept is built upon the foundation of the Bentayga Speed, featuring a powerful 650 hp 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine. Power is distributed to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission, ensuring robust performance on various terrains.
Advanced Suspension and Handling
This concept SUV boasts an advanced air suspension system complemented by Bentley Dynamic Ride, which utilizes a 48V electric active anti-roll control system to enhance stability and comfort.
Distinctive Design Features
The X Concept is equipped with bespoke 22-inch forged wheels crafted by Brixton, specifically tailored for this model. These wheels are fitted with off-road tires, and the wheel arches have been extended by 40 mm to accommodate the wider setup.
Enhanced Off-Road Capabilities
Significant revisions to the suspension include a 120 mm increase in track width and a 5 mm rise in ride height. Additional features enhancing its off-road capabilities comprise a titanium sports exhaust system from Akrapovic, towing eyes, and a roof carrier.
