The latest in Bentley brilliance is a new generation of Bentayga featuring a 4.0 liter, twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine.

Immense Performance, Impressive Efficiency
At the heart of the new Bentayga V8 sits an all-new 4.0-liter, 32-valve, V8 engine featuring dual twin-scroll turbochargers located inside the ‘V’ of the engine. The dynamic unit results in a top speed of 180 mph, 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds, and has an impressive range of 464 miles at a 24.8 combined mpg.
