Bentley has announced a new version of the high-end and luxurious Bentayga SUV. Specifically, this is the Bantayga V8 Design Series that brings unique enhancements to the inside and outside of the vehicle. Mulliner enhancements are standard including Palladium Grey wheels.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I'll happily argue with you all day long that the new 2019 Bentley Continental GT Convertible is more of a looker than its coupe sibling. The grandest drop-top version of the Continental GT is still one of the most luxurious places to spend your time in. It also happens to be one of the best ways to spend $236,000 and change.
Bentley has revealed two more affordable versions of its flagship grand tourer, with the Continental GT V8 and Continental GT V8 Convertible promising agility along with a more accessible price tag. Joining the existing twelve-cylinder W12 versions of the coupe and cabriolet, the new cars may be down on power but they're hardly weedy.
The super-fast SUV wars continue, and now it's Bentley's turn to claim it has the fastest luxury truck around with the new Bentayga Speed. Massaging 626 horsepower from Bentley's 6.0-liter W12 engine, it's enough to give the SUV a top speed of 190 mph.
You used to know where you were with an SUV. Five seats, maybe seven; plenty of space for luggage; and most likely all-wheel drive: in short, something perfectly functional to take the family on a cross-country vacation. These days, though, the SUV has morphed into something altogether different.
Bentley's sumptuous Continental GT was always going to spawn a droptop version, but the Continental GT Convertible still wows all the same. Revealed in advance of the LA Auto Show 2018 this week, the new open-top grand tourer bares the Continental GT's class-leading cabin to the elements, courtesy of a special Z-fold fabric roof.
Eyebrows were raised when Bentley announced it was making an SUV, but the Bentayga proved the skeptics wrong. Weaving together performance, luxury, and unmistakable curb presence, the only thing it lacked was subtlety. Now, with the arrival of the 2019 Bentayga V8, it's getting a little brother - one who may just overshadow the original altogether.
The VW Group has inside its luxury and sports car division some of the most famous marques in the automotive industry. These include Porsche, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, and Bugatti. Porsche has been handed the reins to the entire division and word is that it will coordinate all future activities and control where revenues go for Audi, Lambo, Bentley, and Bugatti.
The VW I.D. R Pikes Peak may have grabbed the overall top time and set a record at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb but it's not the only record holder at this year's event. Bentley has announced that the Bentayga SUV that it prepared for months ahead of the hill climb has taken the SUV class record for the event. The big SUV was piloted by Rhys Millen.
Bentley has announced that after six months of getting its racing SUV (yes you read that correctly) ready for the big day, the Bentayga is ready. The big Bentley SUV will be blasting its way up America's Mountain at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb this coming weekend. Bentley says that the six-month development program is now complete and piloting the Bentayga will be two-time champion Rhys Millen.
Faced with a cross-country jaunt, the super-rich - those for whom the 2019 Bentley Continental GT's six-figure price tag would not be a deal-breaker - have an enviable choice. Flying privately is, of course, the go-to for the 1-percent. Yet the allure of a super-luxe grand tourer, combined with the right road, could be enough to make you leave the Learjet behind.
Bentley owners wanting a secure nook to leave their watch, diamonds, or that Fabergé egg they refuse to travel without now have the option of a fingerprint-locked safe in the automaker's super-luxe SUV. The Bentley Bentayga was already fairly outlandish in its vision of luxury, but at the hands of personal commissioning division Mulliner it takes a leap for even greater superlatives.
