Bentley’s super luxury sports utility vehicle, the Bentayga, is now available in its most sporting guise to date — the Bentayga V8. Brought to India by the British luxury car-maker’s official partner Exclusive Motors, the Bentayga V8 will now be available to order at a starting price of ₹3.78 crore (ex-showroom, Mumbai) for a standard model, subject to exchange rate fluctuations and options.
An official press release said that “at the heart of the latest Bentayga model is a new-generation 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine, which combines immense power with impressive fuel efficiency”. The V8 diesel version gives the British car company the ability to cater to many more car enthusiasts. The addition of a characteristic like stylish twin-quad exhaust pipes and optional carbon-ceramic brakes reveals more of the luxury SUV’s sporting character.
The class-leading performance of the Bentayga V8 is complemented by a range of 746 km, with CO2 emissions of 260 g/km. This refined efficiency (11.4 l/100 km combined) comes, in part, through the ability of the engine to de-activate four of its eight cylinders in suitable conditions, without compromising the drive. The seamless change happens in just 20 milliseconds, making it imperceptible to drivers.
The Bentayga offers the widest range of on- and off-road drive settings of any vehicle via Bentley’s Drive Dynamics Mode and optional All-Terrain Specification. Up to eight modes (four each for on- and off-road) are available, allowing drivers to select the perfect dynamic set-up for any surface or road condition with a simple turn of the dial. All-Terrain Specification allows the customer to select the appropriate vehicle settings for a wide range of off-road surfaces, including Snow and Grass, Dirt and Gravel, Mud and Trail and Sand Dunes. Meanwhile, the Driver Information Panel displays information on pitch, roll, wheel articulation, steering angle, compass bearing and altitude.
Also introduced on the Bentayga V8 are sporting red brake calipers for the front and rear standard iron brakes.
