RE: Behold the Bentley Bentayga Apex Edition
Discussion
It's a big fat NO from me.
Tasteless and pointless sadly.
This kind of thing always brings to mind the line from the film Dawn of the Dead about the relationship between money and ability https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwlfMQ4HlGE
Next, they will be offering the option of a pair of shoes in the same colour as the car.

Behold!
Behold! Now with a 150kg saving as two crew men left service at her last port of call!
I get chasing weight loss in the name of improved dynamics etc but if a vehicle is well over 2300 Kg... there's only so much marketing fluff the car buying public can stomach.
As stated earlier, remove the rear seats, pop in a roll cage for the ultimate track package! Cup 2's.available!
(I also accept I'm not the target demographic but I can't wait for the (ultra?) high performance SUV's to just leave stage left)

For all the negative comments, have you actually driven one?
My boss has one, I get to drive it occasionally and when you floor it, it is in equal measure both laugh out loud fast and somewhat scary. How something that weighs the same as a small moon can accelerate so fast still makes me giggle.
Would I have one given the funds? No way but glad they exist.

Was recently on a lads trip to Dubai and we wanted to goto Abu Dhabi to see the F1 track and Ferrari World. So we hired a Bentayga as it was under £280 for the day split 4 ways. And yes it was driven just the way a hire car should be. I just sat in the back and lapped it up as it was a lovely place to be. Would not own one but served its purpose.

44kg weight saving - utterly pointless on something so heavy to start with.
It's reducing weight where it matters though, which is different to shaving 44Kg off the static heavy shat like seats and glass.It's still an obnoxious pile, but in a world filling up with obnoxious heaps, I'd rather be in a Bentiger than an i7 XM dog shat ugly pile.

Apparently when you turn the ignition is says "you are an apex predator and this is your rig". ??
Just tax them out of existence and force car companies to get on building better vehicles rather than this bloated excess.
And what vehicle is better than this to daily haul a family around, get dogs in, tow a decent amount, and rack up some decent millage in the most comfortable way possible? Just tax them out of existence and force car companies to get on building better vehicles rather than this bloated excess.
2. staying within the VW Group, a Touareg will be equivalent to the bentley for for all these tasks (being the same car on smaller wheels and with less tasteless chrome); an A6 allroad will be vastly superior.

Nice. If I get a visit from "agent millionaire" tomorrow, I'd definitely get one on order, simply to p**s off everyone who thinks they know better than the people who can afford to buy one..
You do realise that there are people you CAN afford to buy one but would absolutely, definitely, not in a million years ever go near to one of these obnoxious, tasteless pieces of bling? It’s not actually all about envy, as many people such as your good self seem to suggest. BikeSausage said:

I find ‘supercars’ that never leave the city much more pointless.

But my main objection is that if I owned one, I’d have to look at it every now and again.
And if you think that the most drivers of one of these uses it to “transport things “, you’re deluded.

Modern Bentley interiors are for people who believe that las vegas’ brothels are the ultimate in luxury and taste…

I've been lucky to have been driven in one of these a few times, albeit the 'standard' W12 model.
Utterly amazing, refined, near silent at times, extremely relaxing and feels like a leather lined bank vault inside. If you could afford one, you would buy it.
Makes it sound like a womb substitute. I imagine impressive depreciation here.Utterly amazing, refined, near silent at times, extremely relaxing and feels like a leather lined bank vault inside. If you could afford one, you would buy it.
