There"s perhaps a certain devilish glee in taking something like a Bentley Bentayga and subjecting it to the world of wide-body kits and bellowing custom exhausts. It"s like racing stripes on a private plane, or the Queen using emojis.Clearly, German tuning house Startech thinks so, because this deep, forest green version of the Bentayga is wearing no less than 44,000 worth of body panels, suspension, wheels and exhaust parts.And, of course, the rather verdant paint job. That"s not an inconsequential sum to tack on to the 160,000 asking price for Bentley"s off-road palace.So, what exactly do you get for your 200,000? Well, the front and rear bumpers are Startech"s own design, as are the wider wheel arches that enclose lightweight, forged 23-inch wheels, in a much more rakish and sporting design than the standard Bentley fare.The wheels tuck much further into the guards thanks to suspension that"s been lowered by 20mm, which probably precludes you from doing any off-roading.Finally, Startech has made sure the characteristic hush of the big Bentley can be a thing of the past, thanks to a switchable valved exhaust system that opens up in sport mode for a pretty satisfying bellow, if you ask us.
