Bentley Debuts Bentayga X Concept at FAT Ice Race to Test Off‑Road Demand

Bentley is gauging buyer interest in a tougher Bentayga by showcasing a lifted, wider concept with the Speed’s V8.

Overview

  • Bentley unveiled the one‑off Bentayga X at the FAT Ice Race in Zell am See as a feedback‑gathering exercise rather than a production announcement.
  • The concept is built on the Bentayga Speed and retains its twin‑turbo 4.0‑liter V8 rated at about 641 hp with air suspension and an active anti‑roll system.
  • Chassis changes include a 55 mm ride‑height increase and 120 mm wider track, yielding roughly 310 mm of ground clearance and over 550 mm of wading depth.
  • Hardware fitments feature 22‑inch forged Brixton wheels wrapped in Radar Renegade R/T+ tires, widened arches, twin front towing eyes, and an Akrapovič titanium exhaust.
  • A roof platform with four spotlights carries an electric Bambino‑size go‑kart, underscoring the concept’s ice‑race showcase and lifestyle focus.
