Bentley has introduced its third version of the Bentayga, and we suspect it"s probably the one you want. Joining the big-spuds W12 and the sensible diesel is a new V8 petrol. If its anything like its Continental GT stablemate, it"s the version you"ll want. The Bentayga uses Bentley"s latest generation twin-turbo V8. It"s four litres in size and produces 542bhp and 568lb ft, enough to hustle the slightly ginormous Bentayga to 62mph in 4.5secs, neatly dissecting the quicker W12 and slower diesel. For a 2.4-tonne vehicle, it"s certainly swift enough. To ensure the heft can all be slowed back down again, you can spec optional carbon ceramic brakes. Bentley proudly boasts it"s the "world"s largest front brake system".
