A groundbreaking off-road concept

As well as the various competitions, the 2026 FAT Ice Race in Zell Am See provided the backdrop for the world’s first look at the Bentayga X concept.

 

Based on the underpinnings of the Bentayga Speed, the Bentayga X features a 650 PS 4.0-litre twin turbo V8 engine, however a number of changes have been made to create the ultimate off-road SUV. 22” wheels have been created by specialists Brixton and equipped with large aspect ratio off-road tyres. Track width has increased by 120mm to enhance stability, while ride height has risen by 55 mm, for extra suspension travel and ground clearance. To accommodate these changes, the wheel arches have moved outboard by 40mm.

 

Four prominent, roof-mounted spotlights make driving in darkness easier and safer, while the capacity of the roof-mounted storage was demonstrated by mounting an electric FAT Karting League Bambino-size Go Kart onto the vehicle.

Bentley performance in all its form

The Bentayga X is not the only Bentley to have featured at the Austrian ice race.

 

The event also saw an appearance from the Supersports car used in Bentley’s ‘Supersports: FULL SEND’ film, complete with its unique livery. Both the coupé and convertible versions of the newly launched Continental GT S were competing in various races, as was a Bentayga Speed. For fans of heritage motorsport, meanwhile, an example of the stunning Speed Six Continuation Series was on display.
