The Post owns a Bentley Bentayga?

Sounds weird - but the United States Postal Service actually has one.

Now the luxury SUV is being auctioned off.

Houston – When you think of the post office, you probably first think of cargo bikes, vans or maybe even trucks. But a Bentley Bentayga?

Probably not.

Nevertheless, the United States Postal Service actually has a copy of the luxury SUV in its possession - and it is now being auctioned, as 24auto.de reports.

Post auctions Bentley Bentayga: Luxury SUV at a bargain price?

One or the other parcel driver may now have a somewhat decadent idea of ​​​​the US Post Office - but of course the Bentley that is now up for auction was never part of the general fleet of parcel vehicles.

As announced on the auction platform, the luxury SUV was confiscated by the previous owner by the United States Postal Inspection Service – but the provider does not reveal how this happened.

The US Post Office is currently auctioning off a Bentley Bentayga.

Post auctions Bentley Bentayga: W12 version with more than 600 hp

They say they have no "history or records" of the vehicle.

Accordingly, the information about the Bentley Bentayga is relatively scarce.

According to the information, it is a 2018 model with the 6.0-liter W12 engine.

Accordingly, the SUV bullet delivers 447 kW (608 hp) and a maximum torque of 900 Nm.

The all-wheel drive SUV with an 8-speed automatic sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds and has a top speed of 301 km/h.

In any case, such expensive projectiles with as many cylinders as possible are currently in great demand - the twelve-cylinder Gordon Murray T.33 was sold out shortly after its announcement, despite its exorbitant price.

Post auctions Bentley Bentayga: SUV "starts, runs and drives"

According to the description, the noble SUV ran 17,155 miles (equivalent to around 27,600 kilometers).

The interior is lined with cream leather, the vehicle is located in Houston, Texas.

The overall condition?

"It starts, runs and drives." At least in this country, a fuel guzzler like the Bentayga would not be welcome at the post office - even if things don't always run smoothly with the electric street scooters in winter.

And in neighboring Austria, the Post recently announced that it would only purchase electric vehicles in the future.
