Is this really news?
You might be asking yourself this question. We certainly are.

In order to save you time, it was determined that the first mention of this piece of “news” dates back to 2006. In light of this, we could say that we've always known, but it was never made official until now -- at least for the moment.

This time, Bentley chief Wolfgang Dürheimer has confirmed that a Porsche Cayenne/Range Rover fighter is in the works. Coincidentally, rumours about an upcoming Lamborghini SUV have been circulating on the web over the last few weeks. We think there's a correlation here. They'll probably be all built on the Cayenne's chassis, but be powered by a W12 in the Bentley and a V12 in the Lambo.

Bentley, like most luxury brands, are in full-assault mode on the Asian market along with some prosperous European countries and, last but not least, the US. An SUV will fit nicely in showrooms alongside the Mulsanne and Continentals.
