So just a few months after Bentley announced it’s planning to create an absurdly expensive and luxurious SUV, Rolls-Royce has expressed its interest in entering the up and coming market.
While speaking at the IAA Frankfurt Motor Show 2013, Rolls-Royce Chief Executive Officer Torsten Mueller-Oetvoes said, “We are intensively thinking about entering the SUV segment.” In addition to competing with the upcoming Bentley EXP 9 F based SUV, the Rolls-Royce SUV could actually cost more than the $237,000 price tag expected to be worn by the Bentley.

Mueller Oetvoes concluded by saying that, “The SUV segment is very interesting. It has been incredibly stable during the crisis, and I think a luxury niche will develop.”
If Rolls-Royce does go ahead with development of an ultra-luxury SUV then expect a concept version in the coming years jointly developed with BMW.
