The 2012 Geneva Motor Show hasn't even started yet, and already the rumored Bentley SUV may have stolen the spotlight. The much-talked about SUV is still nothing more than a rumor (officially), but the talk is that a working concept is set to debut at the upcoming auto show.
The Bentley SUV would be based off of the Audi Q7 and be powered by a W12 engine. Unlike other luxury automotive SUVs, the Bentley SUV is said to have 'legitimate off-road capabilities.' Bentley owners may not be into tearing up the back country every weekend, but it would still be nice to have the option to do so. Just a heads up, the images shown here are artist renderings of what the SUV could look like. We'll have to wait until the 2012 Geneva Motor Show to (hopefully) get a glimpse of the real deal.
