This is a Bentley towing a shiny caravan

Whatever you think of the Bentayga – and its opinion-splitting styling – you can’t deny it’s as practical as Bentleys get.

So much so, it’s the first Bentley you can order with a tow bar on the back. An occasion which is being marked in particularly shiny style at this year’s Pebble Beach concours event.

That’s because Bentley’s biggest will tow this Bowlus Road Chief trailer to show off its new hauling prowess. Clearly loathe to call it a ‘caravan’, Bowlus refers to the Lithium+ (guess what it’s powered by) as one of “the most advanced, lightweight and luxurious travel trailers in the world.” So at least it shares two character traits with the car pulling it along…

Said pulling should be a doddle, the Bentayga coming with all-wheel drive and a 600bhp W12 engine as standard. Even with aerodynamics not on their side, we imagine you can get this eye-widening combo moving along at quite a decent lick.

Question is, would you want to?
