The Bentley Falconry Bentayga may look like a normal sport vehicle from the outside, but inside, it’s a whole different story, with two special cork units made just for a bird lover and his or her flying companion. Plus, there’s an intricate wood inlay in the shape of a falcon on the roof, for that extra on-theme touch. This is certainly a niche market of hobbyists. Then again, given Bentley’s clientele, this may be their sweet spot. The car comes set with a “removable transportation perch and tether” for the raptor, and a stowage tray with compartments for a GPS bird tracking unit, your all-important binoculars, bird-hoods, and gauntlets. (Those items are available with purchase ad add-ons.) There’s even a “refreshment case” with metal flasks, cups, and face cloths, because falconry is an intensive sport that might require a respite from the exertion. Some consider falconry [an art](http://www.pbs.org/falconer/falconry/ "undefined"); Bentley looks to be capitalizing on that level of commitment to the hobby. Of course, all that falcon-centric luxury doesn’t come cheap. The SUV retails for $230,000 and up, [according to _Business Insider_.](http://www.businessinsider.com/bentley-falconry-bentayga-suv-photos-2017-5 "undefined") That’s some bird. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4784595/bentley-falcon-suv/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4784595/bentley-falcon-suv/"},"headline":"Of Course There's a New Luxury Car Made Just for Falconry Enthusiasts","datePublished":"2017-05-18T18:01:05.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:43:46.663Z","description":"Bentley has released a new SUV customized just for falconry enthusiasts and their regal flying companions, and it doesn't come cheap.","url":"https://time.com/4784595/bentley-falcon-suv/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals","cars","Bizarre"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1e251c6d7cd50c21/6988cde70b72e315686eddb2/bentley-bentayga-falconry-by-mulliner.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1e251c6d7cd50c21/6988cde70b72e315686eddb2/bentley-bentayga-falconry-by-mulliner.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"170518_Bentley Bentayga Falconry by Mulliner","caption":"","creditText":"Jorge Ferrari/Courtesy of Bentley","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4784595/bentley-falcon-suv/","name":"Of Course There's a New Luxury Car Made Just for Falconry Enthusiasts"}}]}] ```
