B&B Bentley Bentayga, a luxury missile

As understated on the outside as it is brutal on the road. Despite the British SUV’s features, this B&B Bentley Bentayga prep is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The German tuner focused on the mechanical side of things rather than the aesthetics, delivering a level of performance that turns the British car into a missile.

There is no doubt that the sophisticated Bentley Bentayga is one of the most popular models of the Crewe brand for external tuning. The latest in tuning comes from the German workshops of B&B Automobiltechnik GmbH, who have turned the British SUV into a veritable missile, despite its weight of more than two and a half tons on the scales.

The B&B team focused on the mechanical side of things, with slight modifications to the exterior and interior styling. On the outside, it got a more striking look with chrome grilles on the grille and all the front bumper air intakes, new side sills, and black-painted, 23-inch-diameter, double-spoke forged alloy wheels

In addition, the suspension has been modified with a new electronic air suspension module that lowers the ride height by 35 millimeters.

But it’s the mechanical side that’s really scary, as it offers different levels depending on the powertrain, whether it’s the V8, the W12 or the old diesel. For the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 of the first variant, which develops a maximum power of 550 hp, two levels are offered to increase this power to 625 and 650 hp, respectively, by modifying the engine electronics and increasing the boost pressure or adding new intake ducts.

Two levels are also offered for the Bentayga diesel, going from the original 435 hp to 500 hp and 525 hp, while for the exclusive W12, the 600 hp becomes 675 hp and 760 hp. This level of performance is truly astonishing, accelerating from zero to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds and reaching a top speed of 310 km/h.

These figures are made possible by the above modifications as well as a new sport exhaust system with a special valve to reduce back pressure and exhaust gas temperature.

A high-performance exhaust system is offered for the V8 and W12 versions that (made of polished stainless steel) has an overwhelming sound electronically adjustable and capable of generating an extra 35 hp. An option that rounds off the new features and makes the Bentayga more powerful than a missile.
