Although the EXP 9 F concept is based around the Bentley 6.0 litre, twin-turbocharged W12 engine with an 8-speed transmission, both the company's recently-launched 4.0 litre, twin-turbocharged V8 or a hybrid drivetrain could meet the performance requirements of a pinnacle luxury SUV.

Whilst EXP 9 F is primarily intended to investigate new design territory - and all drivetrain options remain under consideration - any Bentley SUV would offer the thunderous performance the marque is renowned for. The W12 6.0 litre powertrain, for example, could develop 600bhp and 800 Nm of torque with key performance indicators like the top speed and 0-60mph sprint time all setting new benchmarks for the SUV sector.

Bentley meets Range Rover. No thanks. Honestly I lol at some of things that are made these days.

Edit: funnily enough it looks better than I thought it would lol, but still fugly.

Also, what is this bug-eye look Bentley are rolling out for all new models. I hate it. I don't mind round headlights but millions of LEDs just look weird.

Not one thing is doing it for me on this car. The interior will no doubt be a nice place to be but it looks way overdone.

Why in G-d's name are those wheels so ugly???

I'm sensing a Range Rover Sport silhouette as the basis of this design.

Those fog lights are just waaaaay too big. Bad idea.

Everything else about this SUV is very regal and that's just the way a Bentley should be. I like that.

The interior is simply stunning, however the exterior reminds me of the Chrysler Imperial concepot from a few years back.
