I assume this is some kind of bad joke. Unfortunately, it probably isn't.



The new CEO of Bentley, Wolfgang Dürheimer, has announced that the company will expand its model line-up with three new cars. Presented here is the new crossover/SUV, which is rumoured to be called the Cross Continental.

The future Bentley range will be sharing platforms with the Porsche brand (now a full part of the VW family rather than a distant cousin), and in this particular case, under the surface the goodies will be the same as in the Porsche Cayenne. Obviously the trim will be a lot more luxurious, and the engine, a Bentley exclusive, is the reworked W12 unit with more than 600bhp.

Prices are expected to start at £120,000.

On the subject of 'New' Bentley models. It was mentioned to me by a former Bentley employee, that Bentley are bringing out a 'Bentley Van'. Anyone heard this from other sources. Surely no one would fork out for such a vehicle?
