The Bentley X Concept is “developed to stimulate feedback” from owners about whether there’s a marketplace for an off-road focussed Bentayga.
Launched on the FAT Ice Race in Zell am See in Austria, the X Concept is predicated on the fastest variant within the Bentayga lineup, the Speed.
The concept carries over the Speed’s 478kW/850Nm 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, which is paired with an eight-speed automatic, all-wheel drive, and an 48V electric energetic anti-roll system.

To enhance suspension travel, the X Concept’s ride height has been jacked up 55mm, increasing ground clearance to 310mm. Bentley says wading depth is now over 550mm.
In comparison with the usual Speed, the X Concept is a signficantly wider, and meaner beast. The automobile’s track has been increased 120mm necessitating 40mm wider wheel arches throughout.
Under the flared black arches are Radar Renegade R/T+ 285/50 tyres with 22-inch forged one-piece wheels from Brixton.
The grille, sills, and lower portions of the bumper have been blacked out. Twin towing eyes in dark blue poke out of the front, while out the back there’s a Akrapovic titanium exhaust.
A storage tray with 4 built-in spotlights has been added to the roof, bringing the automobile’s overall height to 2.49m. For the concept’s debut in Austria, the tray houses an electrical go kart.
There’s no indication yet about when Bentley will determine about whether to proceed with a more off-road oriented version of the Bentayga.
