Watch: Behind the Wheel of the Bentley Bentayga W12

Bentley has a Bentayga in every flavor, from a V-8 to a diesel to a new plug-in hybrid variant. But sometimes there’s nothing like the magic of a burbling W-12 engine. In this video, AUTOMOBILE social media editor Billy Rehbock takes the 12-cylinder SUV for a spin on Colorado’s high-altitude roads.

The Bentayga’s twin-turbo W-12 engine consists of two narrow-angle V-6 engines joined at the crankshaft. All in all, it produces up to 600 hp and 662 lb-ft of torque. In our First Test from 2016, we clocked the Bentayga hitting 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. That was enough to make it the quickest gas-burning SUV we had ever tested at the time, until the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk came along to steal its thunder.

Check out the video above to find out how the Bentayga drives and how it feels inside the cabin.
