Bentley EXP 9 F

At the recent Geneva International Salon d’Auto car show, luxury car maker Bentley revealed it’s new Sport Utility Vehicle Concept Car (EXP 9 F).

Bentley’s EXP 9 F is a true fusion of contemporary crafted luxury, advanced in-car technology, commanding driving position and all-terrain capability in a spacious and high performance SUV.

The EXP 9 F from Bentley would be the third Bentley model-line to go along with the bespoke Mulsanne and the high performance Continental GT, GTC and Flying Spur.

Wolfgang Dürheimer, Chairman and Chief Executive of Bentley Motors was quoted, “We are very excited by the potential of a high performance, ultra-luxury Bentley SUV. We know that many Bentley customers already own SUVs, admiring their style, luxury, performance and versatility. With EXP 9 F, Bentley is making a clear statement of intent that we have both the expertise and desire to meet and exceed their expectations.”
