Bentley has made claims previously that its first SUV, the Bentayga, would not only be absurdly luxurious, but that it would also be among the fastest production models on the market.
It looks like that wasn't a bluff.
When it goes on sale next year, the Bentayga will be the fastest SUV on the market, a fact proven by the latest teaser video from the UK automaker, showing a prototype reaching 187 mph (301 kph) on a test track.
What propels the more than 2-ton SUV to such incredible speeds?
That would be the work of Volkswagen Group's 6-liter twin-turbocharged W12 engine, which develops 600 horsepower and 663 pound-feet of torque. All that torque should lead to more than just a top-speed champion, but a sub-four-second zero-to-60-mph run.
