    Crewe, UK – Bentley Motors today announces the company’s most visually striking SUV to date, the Bentayga S Black Edition. Identified by the first application of black-tinted wings to a Bentley in 105 years, the S Black Edition combines vivid accent colours, rich black detailing and confidence-inspiring chassis technology, revealing the darker side of the Bentayga. 

    Customers can choose from seven accent colour specifications: Mandarin, Signal Yellow, Klein Blue, Pillar Box Red, Ice, Hyper Green, and Beluga. Each of the colours bring eye-catching yet cohesive design both inside and outside, contrasting with stealthy black treatments across the car.

    On the exterior, the accent takes the form of a laser-like stripe on the Styling Specification body kit below the front bumper and side sills and across the top of the rear spoiler. Brake calipers are painted to match, adding a splash of colour behind 22” black-painted wheels. As per the standard Bentayga S, all exterior brightware is replaced with gloss black versions – but the  S Black Edition is the first model in Bentley’s 105-year history to include the Bentley Wings and lettering in matching gloss black. The final exterior detail is a Black Edition badge located on the rear D pillar.

    At the start of the year, a host of new features have increased the desirability of the Bentayga range even further. With the exterior of the car remaining fresh, the scope for increased personalisation has been increased with seven new satin paints, a new additional exterior colour and a new 21” wheel option in three different finishes. Priority has been given to the driver and passenger experience with new chassis technology, new electrical architecture and additional features, including a reprofiled front radiator grille. The introduction of all wheel steering at the launch of Bentayga Extended Wheelbase increased handling and manoeuvrability  whilst also reducing the turning circle by nearly 1m. This system is now included as standard on both the Bentayga Azure and ‘S’ V8 models.

    For the new S Black Edition, the Bentley design team has also created a unique interior colour layout, bringing the perfect contrast between rich Beluga leather and splashes of bright accent colour. The impactful accent colours on the outside of the car are carried through into the handcrafted cabin, where contrast stitching, contrast piping and accent-coloured sections of the leather trim come together to achieve the same searing effect. Each seat is embroidered with a black ‘S’ emblem.

    A new carbon fibre weave has been used on the fascia, centre console and waistrails. The weave adds seemingly-3D visual depth to the fascia, providing the perfect backdrop for the Black Edition badge, which is inlaid beneath the lacquered surface to preserve the flush finish.

    The new Dark Chrome pack has been included as standard. This means that much of the interior metal detailing – the bullseye air vents, their organ stop controls and the centre vents – has been changed from usual bright chrome to gloss black equivalents.

    There are three audio systems to choose from, starting with the Bentley Signature Audio system. The Bang & Olufsen for Bentley system takes sound quality to another level, while also featuring stunning illuminated speaker grilles, while the Naim for Bentley system represents the ultimate in automotive sound quality. 

    Agility for the urban environment, not just the race track

    The dynamic nature of the Bentayga S Black Edition is enhanced in each of the driving modes by the Electronic All-Wheel Steering. This is even more apparent as the steering combines with Bentley Dynamic Ride using up to +/- 4.8° of steering lock on the rear wheels.

    At low and medium speeds (below 37 mph), the rear wheels are steered in the opposite direction to the front wheels to aid a rapid change of direction, maximising manoeuvrability in tight spaces and reducing the turning circle by 1m. At higher speeds (above 37 mph), the rear wheels steer in the same direction as the front, to improve stability and providing further confidence.

    Understated performance

    The Bentayga S Black Edition features Bentley’s renowned 4.0-litre, twin-scroll turbocharged V8 petrol engine, combining immense power with impressive fuel economy. The latest-generation engine develops 542 bhp (550 PS) and 568 lb.ft. (770 Nm) of torque, with a 0-60 mph (0–100 km/h) time of 4.4 (4.5) seconds and a top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h). This class-leading performance is complemented by a range of 406 miles (654 km), with CO2 emissions of 296 g/km. 

    Deploying the power as effectively as possible, Bentley Dynamic Ride is fitted as standard and was the world’s first electric active roll control technology that utilises an unrivalled 48V system. The system can react within 0.3s with up to 1,300 Nm of torque to counteract lateral rolling forces when cornering, ensuring maximum tyre contact to deliver class-leading cabin stability, ride comfort and exceptional handling. 

    Similar to the Continental GT Speed, where the boundaries of grand touring comfort versus engaging performance have been extended through chassis mode selection, the Bentayga S Black Edition offers increased capability through an enhanced SPORT mode over a standard Bentayga. 

    In SPORT, improved steering feel, greater turn-in response and further reduced body-roll is possible due to an additional 15 per cent increase in air suspension damping and a unique Electronic Stability Control and Bentley Dynamic Ride tune. 

    Recalibration of Bentley’s Torque Vectoring by Brake system – whereby the car lightly brakes the inside rear wheel at corner entry to sharpen the front axle turn-in – has made Bentayga S Black Edition even more responsive to drive.

    A sports exhaust is included as standard, with free-flowing primary and secondary pipes improving flow and combining with reduced perforations in the muffler to deliver enhanced character and volume, giving a more performance-oriented feel.

    The Bentayga’s comprehensive off-road abilities remain, with the optional All-Terrain Specification bringing four dedicated off-road modes (Snow and Wet Grass, Dirt and Gravel, Mud and Trail, and Sand) along with a 500 mm wading depth.

    Striking presence with responsibility

    The Bentayga S Hybrid Black Edition allows customers to indulge their passion for sporting performance and striking design while still enjoying the many advantages of an electrified powertrain. 

    With a combined output of 462 PS (456 bhp), the 3.0-litre TFSI V6 petrol engine and 100 kW electric motor-generator can power the Bentayga S Hybrid Black Edition from zero to 62 miles an hour (100 km/h) in just 5.3 seconds, with a top speed of 158 mph (254 km/h). The sensation of effortless power is, if anything, accentuated by the hybrid powertrain due to the capability of the electric motor to deliver its full torque output from zero revolutions per minute. 

    Like its V8-powered stablemate – the new Bentayga S Hybrid Black Edition provides a more engaging drive, featuring (whilst in Sport mode) sound enhancements in the engine bay complementing the sound of the V6 TFSi and adding to the more sporting character of the car.

    Münich, Germany – A colourful and inspiring range of ‘Curated by Mulliner’ Styling Packages have been created exclusively for the Bentley Bentayga S customers in Europe. The four striking themes are all influenced by floral shades from the natural world, each one a reflection of Mother Nature’s extraordinary colour palette.

    Elegant and refined, each Interior Styling Package can be further enhanced with a matching Exterior Styling Package, celebrating a growing trend for personalisation among Bentley customers. The optional exterior packages are available alongside the interior ‘Curated by Mulliner’ Styling Pack, while exterior paint colours and additional options can also be selected on top.

    Created by the Mulliner Design Team, Bentley’s long-established in-house coachbuilding division, the bespoke packages allow customers a unique opportunity to add their own style and creativity to the contemporary design of the performance-orientated Bentayga S. The availability of ‘Curated by Mulliner’ also coincides with a raft of technological upgrades and driver assist features, further enhancing the go-anywhere ability of Bentley’s luxurious and powerful SUV.

    Responding to the demand from Bentley clientele for further personalisation, the ‘Curated by Mulliner’ Styling Packages add subtle accent colours, all inspired from nature. The Mulliner Design Team believe these carefully selected natural hues of flowers and blossoms will broaden the appeal of these popular models. Magenta was inspired by purple peony flowers that are said to represent honour and respect, luxury, dignity and power; Glacier Blue by an ice blue dahlia flower often associated with peace and elegance; Azimuth Blue by the blue hortensia flowers associated with calm and serenity; and Cherry Blossom by the blooming cherry trees of Japan, a symbol of springtime and renewal.

    Each one of these four accent colours tastefully highlights key elements of the exquisite Bentayga S cabin. These include the contrast steering wheel spokes and gear lever, illuminating ‘Curated by Mulliner’ welcome lamps, accent leather to the seats and Mulliner deep-pile overmats with contrast micro-piping. The interior packages must be accompanied with the mood lighting specification, LED welcome lamps and sports pedals, while the exterior packages have to be selected with rear acoustic privacy glass, 22” S directional wheels painted black, plus self-levelling wheel badges, to make the Bentayga S look stunning.

    The exclusive ‘Curated by Mulliner’ Styling Packages offer customers a chance to put their own stamp of individuality on the best-selling Bentayga model, a trend that has long been popular with Bentley customers. As well as the four stunning interior packages, they can also specify a matching Exterior Styling Package. This extends the chosen colour theme with a subtle accent pinstripe to the exterior mirrors, as well as to the body kit that adds further individuality to the Bentayga’s eye-catching design.

    The Styling Packages coincide with major technological upgrades and driver assist features on all Bentayga S models. New innovative seat comfort features include Postural Adjust and Seat Auto Climate to aid wellbeing; and an improved air conditioning system monitors particle matters inside and outside the car, automatically activating ‘recirculation mode’ when required. The advanced system also uses map data to detect tunnels where higher pollution levels are expected. 

    A new driver instrument panel offers real-time visualisation of the road ahead and a 3D depiction of objects; enhanced driver assistance features include Intelligent Park Assist, Remote Parking via the My Bentley app, 3D Surround View and Emergency Assist; while the cabin carpet is now 100 per cent recycled nylon for greater sustainability.  Available on V8 models only, all-wheel steering offers better manoeuvrability in cities at low speed, as well as increased stability on highways at higher speeds.

    Münich, Germany –  Bentley Motors is celebrating the centenary of its retail partner in Zurich, Schmohl AG, with a quartet of luxury cars. The uniquely-styled 100 Anniversary Collection is based on four Bentley models – the Bentayga S luxury SUV, the Flying Spur Speed four-door sedan, as well as the Continental GT and GTC Speed definitive grand tourers.

    Each example is handcrafted in Crewe, England, by Mulliner, Bentley’s in-house personalisation and bespoke department. For the 100 Anniversary Collection range, Mulliner has developed a new Slate Blue Metallic exterior paint and matching Slate Blue Metallic Styling Specification, with personalised ‘100’ welcome lamps. The Flying Spur Speed, GT and GTC Speed examples also benefit from a bootlid spoiler. Personalised ‘100’ welcome lamps greet both driver and passengers as they step in or out of the 100 Anniversary Collection models.

    Inside each exquisitely appointed cabin, the 100 Anniversary Collection cars are crafted with Cognac main hide and Beluga secondary hide, with Diamond Quilt contrast stitching. Personalised embroidered ‘100’ headrest emblems adorn the seats, while Piano Black over Copper Stone dual finish veneer complements the dashboard and doors, with Diamond Knurling Specification to brightwork as standard. 

    Talking about the centenary, Roderick Pike, General Manager of Bentley Zurich, explains: 

    “A centenary is a key milestone and a special celebration. Schmohl AG was formed in 1923, the same year the Bentley 3 Litre became the brand’s first car to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, setting the fastest lap in the process. The new 100 Anniversary Collection cars reflect a proud partnership with Bentley, offering unique features to honour our special relationship.”

    Balazs Rooz, Regional Director of Bentley Motors Europe, added:

    “We are delighted to be celebrating this milestone with Bentley Zurich who have been with us since 1950. Switzerland is an important market for Bentley Motors Europe and with this collection we honour and highlight our achievements over the years. At the same time, with our Beyond100 strategy we are also looking forward towards an electrified range by 2024.”
