Bentley says its first sport utility vehicle won’t just be the most expensive in an increasingly crowded market, it’ll also be the fastest.

The Bentayga SUV’s 12-cylinder engine will propel it to a top speed of 301 kilometers per hour (187 miles per hour), the Crewe, England-based manufacturer said on Friday. That’s about 17 km/h faster than Porsche’s Cayenne Turbo S, 21 km/h faster than the Mercedes-Benz GLE 63 S AMG and 51 km/h faster than a Range Rover.
