First Bentley Bentayga Reserved for The Queen
The first production Bentley Bentayga has been reserved for the Queen of England.
Although the Queen hasn’t confirmed whether or not she’ll take the Bentayga, the British automaker added that she can spec her own car and choose her own options and won’t be constrained to purchase one of the pre-designed First Edition models. In 2002, Bentley presented the Queen a one-off state limousine sporting a twin-turbo V8 with 400 horsepower. Accepting the Bentayga would be a massive upgrade with 600 hp.

The Bentley Bentayga made its official debut at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show, being billed as the world’s fastest and most powerful SUV. And despite also being the world’s most expensive SUV, the entire first full year of production is already spoken for and the waiting list has already begun. But that won’t matter to the Queen if she wishes to have one since Bentley has “reserved the number one car for her,” CEO Wolfgang Duerheimer has confirmed.
First deliveries of the Bentley Bentayga is expected to start late this year. Learn more about the Bentley Bentayga by checking out AutoGuide.com‘s first look video from the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show below.
