Rendered Speculation: Bentley looking to expand with entry coupe, crossover?

Rumors swirl on, incoming CEO Wolfgang Dürheimer Bentley, who previously served as director of research and development at Porsche looks at long and hard as to expand the luxury brand product line. Given Dürheimer experience make magic happen at Porsche, it seems likely that Bentley would be used in the platform for the Panamera sedan type, and that is exactly what the guys at Auto Express are suggesting.
The first new model, an ultra-luxe machine that would fit into the emerging four-door coupe segment. If so, expect a price tag in the mid-$ 250,000 range, and engine choices range from the tried and true W12 a new supercharged 4.0-liter V8.
These drives can also find their way into the engine compartment of a Bentley crossover, says Auto Express. As much as some might protest, a Porsche Cayenne, Bentley would be based at a price near the $ 200K mark seems a very real possibility ... as though an optional diesel engine, new to the mark.
Finally, the long-rumored entry-level (everything can be called by a $ 150,000 price tag entry-level?) Bentley coupe that would slot below the Continental GT is still a topic of conversation. Branching in one or all of these segments as a way to return seen over the 10,000-unit peak sales potential of 2007 to only 4616 units in 2009.
Head on over to see than to Auto Express, some rendered speculation on what these cars could look like.
