After Porsche launched the Cayenne in 2002, changed the thinking of manufacturers of sports cars. If the world is a luxury SUV with the best brands, why cling to the past and not ride the wave of increasing production volume and profitability?
After all, even if the initial noise, especially the success of the Cayenne is that we have to thank for the preservation and development 911
Pebble Beach Festival, CEO of Bentley, Wolfgang Duerheimer, confirmed that the automaker actually British luxury SUV will be built. And recently replaced chief engineer Ulrich Eichhorn with Porsche Rolf Frech, who also worked on the Cayenne.
Duerheimer is convinced that the new model will be a success. "Ninety-nine percent of the owners also own Bentley SUV I'm pretty sure the question is here," he says. It decided not to add a single model of brand choice, but their own words, "make it clear that the car is the head."
Bentley boss told Autocar magazine that Bentley "will be the first to use the 12-cylinder engine with gasoline a luxury SUV." This engine is an updated version of W12, but also the power of a new generation range of Continental, and Duerheimer praises its small size, allowing for more efficient packaging.
A V12, however, may find their way under the hood the new SUV, but it will not be a unit that run on gasoline, and would double the W12. However, Bentley is trying to use the purists a modified version of Audi Corset 6.0-liter diesel that powers the Q7.
When the new SUV will be launched? Duerheimer I mean, but drops a few suggestions: ". Mulsanne in 2010, became the Continental, and a year later life model is usually 6-8 years, so the new model is a value, when we expect the lull recession, this time to take the SUV .. "
If our calculations are correct, which means around 2015.
