(Crewe, 18 January 2018) Bentley Motors will compete in the #pikespeakinternationalhillclimb for the first time on 24th June 2018 with the award-winning Bentayga.

The 600 bhp, W12-powered Bentayga will tackle the famous 12.42-mile Colorado Springs hill climb with record-breaking ambitions, aiming to navigate the 156 corners of ascending asphalt quicker than any #suv before.

A car is being prepared for the competition by Bentley’s motorsport department at the company’s headquarters in Crewe, England. Leading the project is Bentley’s Director of Motorsport, Brian Gush, who comments:

“Since its launch, the Bentayga has set the luxury #suv benchmark with its unique combination of bespoke British craftsmanship, performance and grand touring ability. We hope to set another benchmark at the 2018 #pikespeakinternationalhillclimb by conquering the most demanding mountain road course in the world.”

Deploying 900 Nm of torque through intelligent all-wheel-drive and state-of-the-art air suspension together with Bentley’s pioneering 48-volt active anti-roll system, the Bentayga delivers extraordinary dynamic ability without compromising refinement.

Details about the project, including the driver, will be announced in due course. More information about the #pikespeakinternationalhillclimb can be found at http://ppihc.org/fans/.
