Bah! This is just a Cayenne EV with the minimal changes. Not even the central console is any different.

An independent automotive illustrator's vision of a future Bentley GT.
 
More beautiful than the exp15 I hope the next continental GT will be something like this car
I think they should have a car above the Conti that’s more of a Halo vehicle, could mid engine sports luxury car in this vein. Especially with Walliser at the helm now.

Driving back from the UK to the Netherlands on Monday night, I parked up at the Ionity chargers near the Channel Tunnel to find a huge SUV covered in a black tarpaulin, also charging. Two guys were milling about on phones. I walked over to see if they'd engage in a conversation but I didn't get the feeling they were up for it. After a few minutes they removed the taupalin. I was struggling to recognise what car it was, only concluding it was very "Porsche-like". When I saw one of the guys get into a Bentley Continental GT Convertible support car, I realised it must be a new Bentley electric SUV. As it's based on the Cayenne Electric, it's no doubt why I saw the Porsche resemblance. We then shared the same train under the Channel and I caught it again while waiting to board. I assume they were on their way to Sweden for winter testing.

Oh, and while I was parked up, a Red Bull truck pulled in to the petrol station, no doubt on its way to pre-season testing in Barcelona next week. It was all happening!!

It will be, in a way, due to its electric nature as a super-luxury SUV, but with the notable difference that, as I understand it, this is smaller and positioned below the Bentayga, while the Rolls EV is even larger than the Cullinan.

The Rolls surprised me, as I was expecting something more like this Bentley, a segment below and smaller than the Cullinan, more like the SUV version of the Ghost.

I thought the Rolls was the same size of the Cullinan, basically an alternative? (Sorry to digress)

Looks actually quite fantastic! 2026 will be interesting. How about a 2 car garage; the new ev as a daily and the new Supersports for fun.

I read that it's bigger in a couple of places and it looks that way in the photos, but yes, it basically seems like an EV alternative to the Culinan ICE.
