Bentley is expected to reveal the Bentayga SUV next month at the Frankfurt Motor Show, but photos of a 1/18 scale diecast model may have just given the SUV an early reveal. The Bentayga will be Bentley’s first-ever SUV and thankfully the Bentayga has ditched many of the awkward styling cues from the EXP 9 F concept that previewed it.

Overall the look of the Bentayga looks more in line with the Continental GT and Flying Spur models thanks to its twin oval headlights and large grille. As you move further back you’ll see a large panoramic glass sunroof, a roof mounted spoiler. The rear of the Bentayga also borrows styling cues from the other Bentley models.

The Bentayga is expected to be based on the same platform as the new Audi Q7 and will be powered by a twin-turbocharged W12 6.0L engine. The twelve cylinder engine will generate 600 horsepower and 663 lb-ft. of torque. A smaller V8 and a plug-in hybrid model will be aded in the future.

The Bentayga is expected to go on sale by next spring with a price tag starting over $200,000.
