Bentley-EXP-9-F

Bentley EXP 9 F

Have you outgrown your Continental GT? Do you find the Range Rover too common? The Cayenne Turbo too slow? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, Bentley has your answer.  Welcome, everyone, to the Bentley EXP 9 F concept. 

Destined to be the most powerful and most luxurious SUV ever built, the EXP 9 F will be the third model in Bentley’s lineup, alongside the Mulsanne and Continental ranges.  Revealed the night before the start of the Geneva Auto Show, the EXP 9 F is very elegantly styled, featuring a prominent hood, flat beltline, a generous grennhouse and Bentley’s hallmark matrix grille.  You’ll also recognize the well-defined power line that runs over the front fenders and through the door handles towards the prominent rear “haunch,” just as you’ll find on the Continental GT.

The interior is as opulent as one would expect from the folks in Crewe, with leather, wood and chrome everywhere.  The “T” shaped dashboard echoes the design found in the Mulsanne, and Bentley expects the EXP 9 F’s interior to set new benchmarks for luxury in the SUV segment.

They also expect the performance to set new benchmarks for the SUV sector.  Motiviation will likely come from the venerable 6.0L W12 found in the Continental Range with the power being sent through an advanced all-wheel drive system.  Power and torque figures haven’t yet been released, but expect to see north of 600 horsepower and more than 590 pound-feet of torque. 

Pricing hasn’t yet been released, but stay tuned to the Twin Cities Luxury Auto blog for updates as we get them.  For those of you anxious to get line for the EXP 9 F, we expect it to be in our showroom by sometime in 2015-16.  We’re now taking pre-orders.
