Bentley and Mulliner, the customised car division at Bentley, have revealed a new special edition of the British luxury automaker's SUV that is specifically tailored for the falconry sport.

This luxury car is a special-edition Bentley Bentayga that is purpose-built for the sport of hunting by method of falcon, as stated in a press conference last Tuesday.

The main attraction with this new Bentayga can be found in the car boot, which is the main storage area, there is a "master flight station" and a fancy cup holder for whatever beverages are supposed to be consumed while hunting with falcons. In that station, there are storage compartments for GPS bird trackers, leather bird hats, and some other falconry tools.

The new addition from the Bentayga also include some resting spots within the car for the falcons, the resting spot is located above the SUV's center console.

It's unclear how much this special edition costs or how many would be produced, but it appears Mulliner will build them on request. The Bentayga starts at around QR975,000.

It is worth mentioning that the sport of falconry began over 5,000 years ago, and spread over the centuries to East and West. The sport was introduced to Qatar through Bedouin tribes who used the birds as a tool for hunting.
