(Crewe, 25 June 2018) The Bentley Bentayga has again demonstrated its outstanding performance credentials by claiming the outright record for a production SUV at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.

Over the course of its existence, the "Pikes Peak International Hill Climb" has seen the start of almost anything on wheels – from motorbikes to trucks. In addition, new classes have been created on a regular basis. The following is an overview of the event's development from 1916 to the present. In the beginning, the rules were amazingly simple.
