Bentley has revealed a glimpse into off-road heaven, as it announced a new multi-year brand partnership with FAT International.
The X concept — which was showcased at the FAT Ice Race in Zell Am See, Austria — is potentially the first glimpse of an enhanced off-road capable Bentayga, with Bentley saying it has been gathering feedback from the concept’s outing on the ice.
Starting with a Bentayga Speed packing a 641bhp 4.0-litre twin turbo V8, with four-wheel drive and an eight-speed transmission, the X Concept adds off-road capability to the raw power and comfort that Bentley is so famous for.
Specialist-made single-piece 22-inch rims with large aspect ratio off-road tyres have been added to the Bentayga Extended Wheelbase, while there are changes to the width and height too. The Bentayga is 120mm wider for greater stability, while the ride height has been increased by 55mm for maximised suspension travel and ground clearance. These changes are accommodated by 40mm extended wheel arches.
