SUV’s are incredibly popular here in the United Arab Emirates and the Middle East, possibly due to the region being mostly covered in sand and having terrific dunes to tackle. The SUV’s are seeing popularity around the world and seem to be a saving grace for some manufacturers, however, some just want to dip their toes in the water to see if the demand is real, which is exactly what Bentley has done.<\/p>\n

Titled the Bentayga and shown off originally in 2012 with the name EXP F 9 concept, Bentley opened their ears and inbox to take in feedback from customers resulting in massive changes to the design and confirmed production only last year. Production will take place in Crewe, England and 4,000 have already been pre-ordered.<\/p>\n

\"Bentley<\/a>Powering the SUV will be a choice of three engines a V8, a W12 and a plug-in hybrid. Bentley has yet to reveal full engine capacity and other juicy specs but in the video found below, the speedometer goes all the way to 300, it won’t be a far-fetched guess if the V8 will be 4.0 litres and the W12 being 6-litre. The British Marque says it will be the fastest\u00a0production SUV when launched. Boy, there is going to be a lot of quick 4X4s soon!<\/p>\n
