2019 Bentley Bentayga V8

Much of what is being said about the 2019 Bentley Bentayga V8 is in comparison to its W12 sibling. We think this new Bentayga stands up just fine on its own, thank you very much. In fact, with this Bentley, the case can be made that less is more. The smaller engine makes it lighter and more agile. It has an appealing hum to its V8 engine. It also has a more attractive entry fee. When it comes to choices, luxury, and excess, it is still, after all, a Bentley. This is a luxury SUV that has earns the right to wear the Flying B.
About that V8 Engine The centerpiece of the 2019 Bentley Bentayga V8 is, of course, its twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 engine. This intercooled DOHC 32-valve V-8 power plant with an aluminum block and heads along with direct fuel injection generate a still impressive 542 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 568-lb-ft of torque at 1960 revs. This Bentayga is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission with a manual shifting mode. Even with its significant 5,400 lb curb weight, the 2019 Bentayga V8 can accelerate from zero to 60 in 3.8 seconds. It can do a standing ¼ mile in 12.2 seconds and has a top speed of 180 mph. Despite its power, this Bentley can still get 21 mpg on the highway. What more could one want in a V8 luxury SUV?
A Sportier Drive Bentley has returned the suspension to the Bentayga's all-wheel-drive system and offers up to eight different driving modes. Choose from four off- road and four on-road modes that better allow the V8 engine, drivetrain, and chassis to work in harmony for maximum performance in a wide variety of driving conditions. This is an SUV with a surprisingly agile, sporty feel to it, enhanced by a throaty soundtrack from its V8 engine. It should be driven for full appreciation.
Bentley Style, Luxury and Personalization
Outside, the 2019 Bentley Bentayga V8 features the brand's traditional bold lines and husky appearance that seems to fit particularly well over this SUV's frame. There's a new, aggressive appearing black-out grille, noticeable red brake calipers, and twin-quad exhaust pipes. There are also the almost endless choices that Bentley has been known to offer its discriminating owners including custom exterior paint and interior leather colors. Inside Bentley maintains the classic analog treatment for its dials and gauges. Choose from a variety of seating configurations and a rear entertainment system. The choices continue with an array of intriguing technical options including adaptive cruise control, night vision, automatic parking and a heads-up display with road sign recognition. There is even an advanced trailer assist feature that will steer the Bentayga automatically for you when backing up whatever is being towed.  
A Bentley With Wider Appeal
Starting at about $170,000, the 2019 Bentayga V8 is designed to capture the attention of those who may have previously dismissed the brand. It is a luxury SUV that deserves to be driven.

2020 Bentley New Flying Spur

Welcome to the third generation Bentley Flying Spur. The 2020 Flying Spur features a new longer platform and stylish design. There is more technology and a significant increase in torque. There's still natural leather and wood interior trim and an almost endless array of options for which Bentley is known. This is a motorcar for those who are driven and for those who prefer to be driven. This Flying Spur has a wheelbase that has been extended by over five inches over the previous generation. This is particularly rewarding for rear-seat passengers, where comfort can add to productivity. Similar Horsepower with Added Torque The New 2020 Bentley Flying Spur is powered by a proven 6.0-liter, W12 engine that produces an impressive 626 horsepower. While this horsepower is equal to the previous edition, Bentley engineers have been able to increase the torque by over 10%, now reaching 664 lb.-ft. Paired with an 8-speed dual clutch transmission, the higher torque reduces the zero to 60 time from 4.2 to 3.7 seconds. While its top speed of 207 mph can be reached in sixth gear, a seventh and eighth gear improves fuel mileage at lesser speeds. This Flying Spur features an abundance of safety systems that includes Traffic Assist, City Assist, night vision, a heads up display, blind spot warning, top view camera along with self-parking capabilities. The 2020 Bentley Flying Spur takes luxury sports cruising to a higher level. An Increase in Technology Along with its generous array of hi-tech safety systems, the 2020 Bentley Flying Spur is outfitted with technology like a large 12.3-inch infotainment screen set into a three-sided, rotating shape. A touch of a button on the instrument panel and the screen flips to reveal a panel with three analog gauges including temperature, a compass, and a chronometer. Another touch and the screen switches to a blank panel matching the interior wood veneer. Two USB ports and wireless charging is available from a storage space at the bottom of the center console. Sharper, Crisper Lines From its retracting, illuminated Flying B hood ornament through its sharper, crisper lines, the 2020 Bentley Flying Spur is a grand tourer with a new design. A wider, extended front grille sets the tone for super-formed aluminum panels that create smoother lines. Shoulders and haunches are emphasized for a slightly more aggressive appearance. Oversized 21” wheels are standard with 22” options. Wraparound taillights form a distinctive “B” pattern and chrome sleeves in the LED matrix headlamps add a glimmer even when the lights are not on. Inside, enjoy one of three available sound systems, including a 10 or 16 speaker Bang & Olufsen system or the concert hall quality of a Naim for Bentley 2,200-watt, 19-speaker system with active bass transducers built right into the front seats. This is a sound system that must be experienced. The time to register your interest is now. Contact us to experience the Bentley Flying Spur.
