Bentley Looks Ahead to World’s Priciest SUV After Record Sales

Bentley, the British car manufacturer favored by the Queen of England, said potential customers are already queuing for the world’s most expensive sports utility vehicle ahead of its introduction later this year.

Boasting of the SUV’s ability to cocoon passengers in luxury even far from a paved road, Wolfgang Duerheimer, head of the Crewe, England-based unit of Volkswagen AG, said Bentley expects to sell about 3,000 of the high-end units each year once the model hits showrooms in 2016. The company has already seen interest from 4,000 potential buyers who have yet to view the vehicle.
