In a recent interview with Wolfgang Durheim - CEO of Bentley - by the British magazine CAR Magazine has revealed thatBentley is officially immersed in the development of a SUV of luxury performance. More precisely, this project is called BY736 , and will be released with the next generation Porsche Cayenne . Will be built on a modular platform for new SUV that Volkswagen Group has commissioned Porsche, which is expected in about 300 kg lighten the current generation of big SUV .

However, the draft would be driven Bentley to a luxury crossover that an SUV pure, still has certain skills 4 × 4. Durheim admits it will be a version of the Porsche Cayenne, but replicating arteseanía levels and luxury sedans that are available in ultra-luxury as the Bentley Mulsanne, in my opinion, the only true Bentley still for sale. In the same way that sales doubled Cayenne Porsche, Bentley executives believe could exceed the 30,000 units a year with this car .



Quite bold statements and could peter out if the product price is excessive or its position collides with the approaches of other vehicles. Although I must say, in countries like China has more than a million billionaires and the wealthy of the Middle East have a weakness for SUV and luxury vehicles in Europe. When questioned on the project engineering and a potential engine SUV luxury take on the "B" winged, there are several answers.

First, the vehicle will use a modular monocoque chassis , sharing up to 75% of parts with their brethren of the Volkswagen Group. Now, battle, track width and outer dimensions are quite customizable Bentley. As for engines, the most logical choice is the 4.0 twin-turbo V8 that will premiere at the Continental GT soon, although it was very interesting talking about the 6.0 V12 TDI is capable of developing 500 hp and an impressive 1,000 Nm of torque motor.

Otherwise, another option V12 is a 6.3 W12 FSI of the new Audi A8 L , but it's something much less fit European tastes.In three or four years could be among us and could look a lot like the recreation published in CAR .
