It is said that Bentley has done something that has upended the 105-year history of its own brand - to hack itself! Guess how it hacked itself?
Fade into the dark
It turns out that the all-black Bentayga looks so handsome! Yes! The person responsible for the "self-blackening" Bentley brand is the Bentayga S Dazzling Black Edition model.
If you think so, it's shallow, because the Bentayga S Dazzling Black Edition plays with "premium black", not only the car color, but also the headlights, 22-inch wheels, exhaust tailpipes...... Black from the head to the end. What's more, even Bentley's iconic winged logo has been turned black, which is the first time in the brand's 105-year history that it has been played so big.
In fact, it is not the first time that Bentley has played black, aside from the exterior and interior, customers can flexibly choose a variety of blacks, such as the global limited edition of 1 ICE GT launched in 2022, the appearance of jewel black with a large number of continental dazzling black kits.
Note, however, that the logo on the body is still Bentley's usual silver wings, unlike the Bentayga S Flashy Black, which is completely black......
In fact, the Bentayga S Dazzling Black Edition is not "black to the bone", after all, this will make the car look too dull, and moderate embellishments are still needed. For this purpose, Bentley has offered seven accent colours: Mandarin, Signal Yellow, Klein Blue, Pillar Box Red, Ice, Hyper Green and Beluga.
These accent colors are placed in the form of lines on the front and rear bumpers, side skirts, and the Styling Specification on top of the rear spoiler, and even the brake calipers are painted in the same color, so that the Bentayga S Dazzling Black Edition has a provocative and noble finishing touch.
Inside, the Bentayga S Black Edition also continues the exterior styling, with whale black as the main color palette and accent color accents to form a visual contrast, and these accent colors can be seen through leather stitching, piping stitching, leather trim...... and so on, to reflect the dazzling effect. Special attention is paid to the black "S" logo on each seat in the car to highlight the unique value of the car.
The finishes on the instrument panel, centre console and door girdles are all made of new carbon fibre. This material gives the instrument panel a three-dimensional appearance and reflects the "Black Edition" logo embedded under the lacquer, while maintaining the overall flat and smooth texture.
As for other metal trims, such as "bull's-eye" air conditioning outlets, organ plug control keys, central air outlets...... All of them have a Dark Chrome package exterior that allows the dark-colored interior to show a level of texture.
Black = Fast
Under the influence of the trend of the times, black seems to have become the endorsement of car performance, power, speed, and coolness, and the Bentayga S Xuan Black Edition is no exception, it is equipped with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with a maximum power of 404kW and a peak torque of 770Nm, which can make this car complete 000 acceleration in 4.5 seconds, and the top speed reaches 290km/h, which is a good performance!
Customers can also opt for the Bentayga S Black, which is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system, with a 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 engine + electric motor in exchange for a maximum output of 340kW, allowing the Bentayga S to accelerate from zero to 100 in 5.3 seconds, with lower fuel consumption and more environmentally friendly.
The Bentayga S Black Edition is also equipped with electronic all-wheel steering, Bentley Dynamic Driving System, and 15% better damping air suspension, as well as a re-tuned Bentley Torque Vectoring braking system, which makes the big guy have a more responsive steering response, higher cornering limits, and a more stable and comfortable driving quality.
If you add the All-Terrain Package, you can even unlock 4 off-road driving modes: snow and grass, land and gravel, mud and trails, and sand, with a maximum wading depth of 500mm.
Bentley's "Dark Wind" is getting more and more 6, I don't know which car will be the next black?
