Bentley’s First Diesel Model is the World’s Fastest Diesel SUV

Bentley has introduced its first diesel model ever.

Considering the gasoline-powered Bentley Bentayga claims the title of world’s fastest and most powerful SUV, it’s no surprise the Bentley Bentayga Diesel is also the world’s fastest diesel SUV. Sporting a 4.0-liter triple-charged diesel V8 engine, the Bentayga Diesel delivers a class-leading 429 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. As a result, it goes zero to 62 mph (zero to 100 km/h) in 4.8 seconds and boasts a top speed of 168 mph (270 km/h). The engine is paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission with permanent all-wheel drive.

The British automaker promises the luxurious diesel SUV delivers a range of more than 621 miles (1,000 kilometers) and has the lowest CO2 emissions of any Bentley model. The powertrain has also been developed to deliver “an authentic Bentley driving experience,” with peak torque available at 1,000 rpm, helping the Bentley Bentayga Diesel drive effortlessly.

To further differentiate itself from its gasoline-powered counterpart, the diesel version has a V8 Diesel badge embedded on the lower front door edge, complemented by a new Bentley “twin-quad” exhaust setup. Other external styling cues exclusive on the diesel model includes a black grille with chrome surround and central bar, while new optional Mulliner Driving Specification 21-inch wheels can be had. Standard on the model are 20-inch 10-spoke wheels.

“The Bentayga Diesel represents a moment of immense significance in Bentley’s history, by giving the world its fastest luxury diesel SUV. Immense power, grand touring capabilities and superb refinement – this is a true Bentley,” said Wolfgang Durheimer, chairman and chief executive of Bentley Motors. “Only Bentley could produce a car so powerful, yet so refined.”

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
