Bentley Bentayga W12 (1st Gen)

Bentley accounts for 22 of the 600 cars in this catalogue, enough to establish a clear identity, yet this Bentayga W12 occupies territory that almost none of those stablemates can claim. Across every car here, only 12 combine a W12 with all wheel drive, and only 11 pair that layout with twin turbocharging. That rarity inside the catalogue matters because it explains why this car feels less like another Bentley entry and more like a distinct branch of the marque's thinking. The numbers make the case before the specification ever does.

Its performance sits in an interesting middle ground that becomes more persuasive the longer you study it. With 600 bhp, it ranks 205th of the 600 cars here, placing it comfortably within the top 34 percent for power. A 0 to 100 km/h time of 4.1 seconds puts it 327th, faster than 273 other cars, while a top speed of 301 km/h places it 270th. None of those figures dominates the catalogue on its own. Together they describe a car that balances rather than exaggerates. The twin turbocharged 6.0 litre W12 produces 900 Nm, channelled through an AWD drivetrain, creating a combination that is unusual not because each ingredient is individually scarce, but because so few cars here bring them together in the same package.

That combination also changes how the Bentayga W12 sits within Bentley's own presence. The catalogue contains many expressions of the marque, yet this one adds a specific mechanical identity that the others cannot simply duplicate. It is a four or five seat SUV from the UK, built between 2015 and 2020, carrying a used value of around £110,000. That places it 274th by used price, more expensive than 326 other cars in the collection, with a cost of £183 per bhp. Even its engine layout distinguishes it, because only 12 of all 600 catalogue cars use a W12.

If this Bentley became part of your dream garage, it would introduce a mechanical configuration that appears only a handful of times across the entire catalogue while still sitting inside one of its best represented marques. That contrast is measurable. What the data cannot answer is whether that unusual blend of W12, twin turbocharging and AWD is the defining reason to choose this Bentley over the marque's other 21 entries. That judgement belongs to the person building the garage, not to the numbers.
