The VW Group gave the green light for the production of the Bentley SUV. The car will be based on the original EXP 9 F Concept and will be called “Falcon”.
The production version will have a different design than the original, which was not quite pretty, and will be available within the next three years. It will be built on the same platform as the future also Audi Q7, Volkswagen Touareg and Porsche Cayenne. The construction will be in Bratislava, Slovakia and shall then be sent in Crewe, England for final assembly.
The Bentley has set a goal to sell annually 3.000 Falcon’s priced from €160,000 to €200,000! There will be a version with three rows of seats and the engine will include the W12 6.0 liter with 600 hp and 800 Nm of torque, the new V8 4.0-liter TFSI and a new V6 plug-in hybrid that is being prepared. The hybrid engine will have a 30 km electric range with 0-100 km/h to be completed in less than 5 seconds.
