Bentley's Bentayga S driven - no extra power than a regular V8, so is there any more spice?
► S adds some extra spice, if not power
So much so that even Bentley's getting more confident with the car's offerings. As well as a plug-in hybrid available here and a W12 Speed that's available everywhere else but Europe, the V8 now has another flavour: Bentayga S.
Inside, the Bentayga has always been feast of chrome, contrast stitching and leather – again, with the S, the only difference is the addition of some S badges in the seat stitching and dashboard – but now it's backed up with some contemporary tech. The Bentayga now uses an infotainment system similar to what you'd find in the Audi A8, and it makes a huge difference to the general operation of the car over the previous generation.
In practice, the V8 is fast enough; it burbles in Sport, remains refined and quiet on start-up, and virtually disappears in Comfort – like all other road noise. With the S, that burly V8 is way more tuneful in Sport due to a free-breathing sports exhaust system, making it sound almost as lairy as a Lambo Urus or Aston DBX.
