If you need proof the world has gone mad for SUVs, look no further. Bentley’s Bentayga is one of the most extreme and expensive of the breed.
The Bentayga is based on the Audi Q7/Q8, with Bentley acquired by Germany’s Volkswagen-Audi Group in 1998.
The range opens with the 404kW 4.0-litre twin turbopetrol V8 Sport, at $378,600.
Audi’s top of the range RS Q8, with the same engine tuned for 441kW, costs $220,491.
