Everyone is waiting eagerly for the 2013 Dakar rally. The British car maker Bentley is proposing to make an entry in the Dakar rally. They are discussing with the private teams so that they can buy back the Volkswagen’s Dakar winning Race Touaregs (RT), which were being sold to these teams. Bentley is getting ready to initiate the EXP 9F racers in 2013’s race.
It was because of Volkswagen who drew back its company support to give importance on World Rally Championships (WRC) that the winners of Dakar rally 2009-2011, the racing Touaregs were sold off by the company to the private teams.
Bentley is implementing hard on its new design for the front and rear end so that they can make the look of EXP 9F absolutely different from Volkswagen’s Touareg. The car is assumed to be redesigned before it is launched in the market.
It was during the Geneva Motor Show in 2012 that the company had unveiled the idea of EXP 9Fand it was anticipated to cost at 1,40,000 pounds. For the production of 4×4 comfortable vehicle, authorization is still on hold. Soon after its launch, the British car maker plans to develop its brand equity. Bentley’s EXP 9F will get the best platform via the Daker rally 2013.
As per Rolf Frech, the Range Rover was more excellent off-roader when in comparison to EXP 9F, who is the Head, Research and Development (R&D) of Bentley. But the car maker is very muchdetermined on developing the benefits of the extravagant RT with rich buyers, so that they canachieve the annual target of sales of 3,000 units.
Bentley EXP 9F main features
The Touareg have an inclusion of a twin turbo 2.5 litre diesel engine which produced power below 300 hp and 600 Nm of torque.
It is not yet clear whether the Bentley racers will join in the same model in the 2013 Dakar rally.
Most probably the EXP 9F will be featuring a twin-turbo 6.0 litre W-12 unit taken from the continental.
The car maker is also likely to provide a twin turbo 4.0 litre V8 and a supercharged V6 plug-in hybrid variant.
