The sportier version of the luxury SUV should fill the space between the basic version and the top model Bentayga Speed.

Following the introduction of the upgraded Bentayga, Bentayga Speed and Bentayga Hybrid models, Bentley has introduced a new model called the Bentayga S, which should represent the golden mean among internal combustion engines. Compared to the basic version, it should be sportier, but its dynamics do not match the top Speed model with a V12 engine.
Under the hood of the model is a standard 4.0-liter V8 engine with twin-turbo supercharging, which offers the highest output of 404 kW and 770 Nm of torque – the same parameters as the standard Bentley Bentayga. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km / should be a matter of 4.5 seconds and the maximum speed is up to 290 km / h.

However, the main advantage of the Bentayga S model should be the modified chassis, which is equipped with the Bentley Dynamic Ride system. As you probably know, this is an active stabilizer system working with a 48V network, which is able to provide torque of up to 1,300 Nm in 0.3 seconds, thanks to which the chassis can actively suppress lateral forces in corners.
Thanks to this system, which will be standard for the Bentayga S model, the car should offer optimal stability during sporty driving and always maximum contact of the wheels with the road. But that’s not the end of the S-model enhancement.
In addition to the modified chassis, the Bentayga S also offers a special Sport driving mode, which offers better steering feedback, more sensitive throttle response or 15 percent higher chassis stiffness due to increased shock absorber pressure. A modified exhaust system or recalibrated torque vectoring system is also standard.

Despite the greater emphasis on sporty driving, however, the Bentayga S does not lose its off-road skills. The car still offers four off-road driving modes, including the ability to wade to a depth of 500 millimeters.
Aesthetic adjustments also go hand in hand with the modified technique. These include, for example, black-painted mirror covers, black-painted trim strips, 22-inch alloy wheels or lightly dimmed lamps. At the rear, the Bentayga S impresses with, for example, a larger spoiler, extending the roof line, split oval exhaust tailpipes or black lacquered details. Of course, the letter S cannot be missing on the body.

The interior is available in a four-seater, five-seater or seven-seater configuration, while the seats have been given a special sporty design. There is also rich Alcantara upholstery with significant stitching, which is a combination of use, for example, on seats, steering wheel, gear selector, etc. Of course, there is also an emphasis on the S logo, which appears, for example, embroidered on the seats.
The dashboard, whose digital instrument panel shares graphics with the Bentayga Speed model, has also undergone a subtle modification. The equipment also includes backlit thresholds, there is also the possibility of interesting color combinations of the interior, etc. In short, the classic combination of luxury and sportiness presented by Bentley, which you can see in the gallery.
