Bentley Bentayga S with V8 engine unveiled, gets sportier than ever before
- Bentley Bentayga S will now be powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine that can produce 542 bhp of maximum power.
Bentley Motors has unveiled the new Bentayga S SUV, the latest version of its flagship model that is considered as the fastest SUV in the world. The new model, the first S version since the Bentayga's debut in 2015, promises a more dynamic and sporty drive experience in this iconic SUV.
The fourth model in the Bentayga range joins the efficient plug-in Hybrid, the 4.0-litre turbocharged V8, and the powerful 6.0-litre, 12-cylinder Speed. The luxury SUV will be available in four, five or seven seat configurations.
The Bentayga S model comes with certain design tweaks. The chrome garnish has been mostly replaced with gloss black accents. Bentley has added dark tint lenses to head lamps and tail lamps, black door mirrors and black split oval tailpipes. However, the 22-inch alloy wheels are not blacked out, as often done for the performance avatars of popular models to give them a more sporty appeal.
