When Bentley presented their new SUV, the EXP 9F, at the 2012 Geneva auto show, it was not received very well, mainly because of its exterior design. Bentley decided to go back to the drawing board to see what else they can come up with. Apparently, they've been working hard at redesigning their SUV, and they even found a new name. Various sources are reporting today that Bentley has decided to call their SUV the Falcon. The Bentley Falcon project has been passed to the company's product strategy team at the moment and it's expected to be launched sometime in 2015. The Bentley Falcon could receive the same engine as the EXP 9F concept. This means it could be powered by a monster 6.0-lliter W12 engine that has an output of 600 hp and 800 Nm of torque.
The new Falcon could receive the same 8-speed automatic gearbox as the EXP and it will most definitely have an all-wheel-drive system.
We'll have more details regarding the Bentley Falcon as soon as they're available.
