Bentley Bentayga Claims "World's Fastest SUV" Title, by 1 km/h - Car and Driver (blog)
The groan-worthiness is doubled by the fact that the supposedly deposed former record holder, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S , is part of the same VW Group super-family that owns Bentley. In fact, we saw this coming: Back in January, Porsche R&D chief Wolfgang Hatz predicted that Bentley would try to surpass the Cayenne’s 300 km/h (186 mph) top speed by the thinnest of margins. “I think if [Bentley boss Wolfgang Dürheimer] is doing 2 to 3 km/h more, then why not. Bentley claims, via a cloyingly overproduced video that comes across more like a movie trailer than a car commercial, that the Bentayga hits 301 km/h, or 187. 033 mph. Source: blog.caranddriver.com
