The story

Bentley Bentayga V8

When it arrived in 2015 the Bentayga was briefly the fastest SUV in the world. It is named after the Roque Bentayga rock in Gran Canaria.

Bentley Dynamic Ride uses a 48-volt system to counter body roll almost instantly, so a heavy car corners with surprising composure.
