Bentayga S Black Edition

A flash of light in the dark

In a first for Bentley, the brake callipers can be commissioned in your choice of six vivid, bright colours – red, yellow, mandarin, silver, green or blue. When they are glimpsed through the five scythed spokes of the car’s gloss black 22” S Directional Wheels, the effect is nothing short of stunning.
Every vehicle features a ‘Black Edition’ badge on each D-pillar, to make clear that your car is no ordinary Bentayga S – it is one of a very limited number of exclusive Bentayga S Black Edition vehicles.

The colour you select for your brake callipers will be reproduced as an accent colour, both inside and outside the car. On the exterior, it takes the form of a laser-like stripe on the body kit below the front bumper, below the side sills on each side of the car and across the top of the rear spoiler.

This is a Bentayga S, which means that all the exterior detailing is rendered in black as standard. But it doesn’t end there. For the first time ever on a Bentley, both the ‘BENTLEY’ wordmark on the tailgate and the Bentley badges themselves have been turned black to match.

A cabin with extra edge

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. The Bentley design team has created an exclusive hide colour layout for the Bentayga S Black Edition, allowing the perfect combination of bright and dark. Each seat, meanwhile, 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 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 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 its usual chrome to black.

It doesn’t just look powerful

Powered by Bentley’s advanced, twin-turbocharged 4.0 litre V8 engine, the Bentayga S Black Edition can take you from zero to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds and on to a top speed of 180 mph, thanks to its incredible 542 bhp. Designed to provide access to cities with ultra-low emission zones and offer a truly serene drive when travelling on electric power only, the 3.0 litre V6 plug-in hybrid powertrain can propel you to a top speed of 158 mph and cruise at speeds of up to 84 mph on electric power alone.

There is no mistaking the unique character of a V8 engine’s exhaust note – and with the Sports Exhaust* fitted to all V8-powered Bentayga S Black Editions, that incredible sound is pushed to the limit.V8 vehicles benefit from Bentley Dynamic Ride*, a 48-volt electronic anti-roll system that stiffens the suspension when cornering hard, to maximise control and stability, without compromising on the comfortable ride you expect when cruising in a straight line.

A world of connected services

The Bentayga S Black Edition is equipped with a sophisticated suite of connected services. Some are accessed via the in-car infotainment system and others via the My Bentley smartphone app, offering a seamless experience, however you prefer to use them. For example, Online Destination Import feature in the app lets you search for destinations on your phone, then ‘push’ them to your Bentayga’s navigation system – so there’s no need to enter destination names on the central touchscreen.

The Bentayga S Black Edition is fitted with a range of driver assistance features*, including the ability to help you park. With the Intelligent Park Assist** feature, accessed from the My Bentley app on your phone, you don’t even need to sit behind the wheel as you monitor the vehicle. In tight spaces where opening the door might damage your Bentayga, you can get out before beginning the manoeuvre and use your phone to control it as it parks.

The optional Front Seat Comfort Specification includes two features designed to make long journeys even more enjoyable. Seat Auto Climate uses temperature and humidity sensors in the seat to monitor and automatically adjust the seat’s heating and ventilation levels, to keep you comfortable throughout. Postural Adjust, meanwhile, subtly varies the pressure on different muscles over time, to reduce stiffness and fatigue.
