While certain high-end manufacturers are hesitant about fully battery-electric strategies, Bentley is forging ahead with the ultra-luxury cousin of the Porsche Cayenne Electric. Rumored to be called either Mayon or Barnato, the zero-emission model has been caught by our spy photographers at the Nurburg roundabout we all know and love.

   

Still referred to as Luxury Urban SUV by its maker, the yet-unnamed electric sport utility vehicle reveals a smaller footprint than what you get from the internal combustion or plug-in hybrid Bentayga. More hunkered down as well, the newcomer hides a remarkably blunt fascia with a broad lower intake mesh and a prominent radar sensor array.
