The W12 monster wants to become the fastest production SUV in the history of the race. Following its initial announcement , Bentley has now revealed the 12-cylinder Bentayga , which will challenge the 2018 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb on June 24 this year. It’s not a completely stock vehicle, despite the unmodified W12 engine with 600 horsepower (447 kilowatts) and 664 pound-feet (900 Newton-meters) of torque, as it now features a roll cage and racing seats, onboard fire suppression system, and a custom exhaust system, developed by Akrapovic. In every other aspect, it’s going to be as close to production standard as possible.

Hennessey Boosted The McLaren 765LT To 1,000 Horsepower

Probably not, but Hennessey decided to release a kit that bumps the 765LT's output to a whopping 1,000 HP (745 kW). Yesterday, the Texas tuner officially announced its insane new tune for the 765LT that increases the output to the aforementioned 1,000 horses.

"The new 765LT is underrated from the factory," John Hennessey notes. "We tested it on our in-house dyno and it delivered about 765 HP – at the rear wheels. This means it's … [Read more...] about Hennessey Boosted The McLaren 765LT To 1,000 Horsepower
