Two-time champion Rhys Millen to pilot pikes peak Bentayga

  • Former “King of the Mountain” Rhys Millen to drive #Bentley Bentayga at 2018 #pikespeak International Hill Climb

  • Bentley team and Millen aim for Production #SUV record

  • 600 bhp Bentayga built and prepared by #Bentley Motorsport

(Crewe, 27 March 2018) Two-time #pikespeak overall winner Rhys Millen will pilot a #Bentley Bentayga at the 2018 #pikespeak International Hill Climb on 24th June.  

Aiming to break the existing Production #SUV record of 12:35.61, the Bentayga will need to average a minimum of 60 mph up the exceptionally tight and twisty 156-corner course. With years of competition at #pikespeak and in Red Bull Global Rallycross under his belt, Millen possesses both the ability and experience required to push the Bentayga to its limits of performance in pursuit of the record.

Pikes Peak represents the next challenge for the acclaimed Bentayga, following Bentley’s tradition of testing its cars in extreme environments that has seen the Continental GT set records of 205 mph (330 km/h) on ice and over 180 mph (290 km/h) on sand, and even an unmodified Continental GT Speed tackle a stage of the World Rally Championship.
