With Bentley’s V8 Design Series, contemporary style meets dynamic character on and off the road.
So you’re in the market for an SUV that stands out in a crowd. The Bentley Bentayga has to be one of the more sublime of the recent influx of ultra-luxury SUVs, joined in the ranks by the likes of the Roll-Royce Cullinan and the Lamborghini Urus. However, if you’re up against stiff competition in the tennis club car park, Bentley has taken things one step further with the Bentayga V8 Design Series, a contemporary styled and visually dynamic version of its ground-breaking SUV.
