No question this vehicle is for the 1% of the 1%ers, and will never be driven off road. That being said, I've been in several of these vehicles and they are drop dead spectacular. (At least until the Lambo and Ferrari models debut)

Might have been a special-order. RR and Bentley used to have the option of special-ordering any color (or two-tone pattern) you wanted...although I think they have paired that down to a choice of several dozen factory colors now.
I like some purplish tints myself.....particularly the gray/purple Amythist.

I'm sure that matte purple one was a wrap job. That's the current big thing if you're a famous rapper, who lets be honest, is probably going to be the #2 customer of this thing, right behind all the oil sheiks over in the UAE.

They should have squared off the roofline and done a more formal body style. Really, really plain and frumpy as a big luxe SUV. But there are going to be customers for this with more money than brains, who'll buy simply to impress the hoi-polloi.

I'll have to agree with the money-vs.-brains part. Each to his or her own, I guess, but I don't see where any car is worth that far into six figures.

It’s all relative. For the customers that car is aimed at its a very small amount compared to their overall wealth.

This thing is apparently now headed over to do the Pikes Peak run with the W12 drive train. Should be interesting.

Again, all depends on the person. I spend way more money on cars than Warren Buffet, I’m not an idiot. I just have different things I enjoy than he does. What’s the point of having money if you sit around and live like a pauper and never use that money to do things and have things that you enjoy? There’s a limit, financial health and security should come first but if you have billions of dollars and you want a $400,000 Bentley SUV, are you “an idiot” for buying it? How about if you have $50M?Let’s say you’re somebody who makes $250k, and you have no family, and you’re into this vehicle and you get it for a $2,500 a month lease? No family, no huge home, this is just your thing. Again, not an idiot necessarily. It’s all relative. I live my life, I invest and have a plan and fund my plan but the rest I live with. I don’t see the point of just letting it pile up and look at it but that’s me.

Asking who would buy a "frumpy" Bentayga is similar to asking who would buy a merely mediocre Toyota Tundra. There is a market there and it is better to be in the market than to lose out to competitors.
