# Bentley Bentayga V8 S

URL: https://performanceandprestige.co.uk/cars/bentley-bentayga-v8-s

It runs Bentley’s twin-turbo V8, and the S is the firmer, darker, more vocal reading of that car: retuned damping, a sports exhaust, Blackline trim in place of chrome. Five seats, delivered nationwide.

## Highlights

- Bentley’s twin-turbo V8, which never gives the impression of working hard
- Fast without ever making a show of it, and unbothered at motorway speed
- Damping retuned for the S, so it stays flatter than a standard Bentayga V8
- Blackline darkened brightwork in place of chrome, and an exhaust you can hear
- One of ours: we own it, insure it, prepare it and deliver it

## What is the Bentley Bentayga V8 S like to drive?

Big and heavy, and it disguises both. The twin-turbo V8 has so much torque low down that it never feels worked, the suspension keeps the body flat without the ride turning brittle, and the cabin stays quiet at motorway speed in a way very few large SUVs manage. The S is firmer than a standard Bentayga and more audible on a cold start than you might expect. It is still a Bentley first and a performance car second.

## How is the Bentayga S different from a standard Bentayga V8?

Same engine. The S is a chassis and character change rather than a power one: firmer damper settings, a sports exhaust, recalibrated drive modes with an added Sport setting, and darkened Blackline trim where the standard car has chrome. If you want a Bentayga that feels like a driver’s car rather than a chauffeur’s, that is what the S buys you, and it is why we chose this specification for the fleet.

## How much does it cost to hire a Bentayga V8 S?

A refundable £5,000 deposit is held against a card at handover and the insurance excess is £5,000. Each day includes 125 miles, or 1,500 miles across a monthly hire, with extra miles at 250p. A long-term lease on this car runs over twelve to twenty-four months and is a different product from a month of hire, priced and quoted separately.

## Is this Bentayga yours, or is it sourced?

Ours. It sits in our own fleet, which means we hold the self-drive hire insurance, we prepare the car and we deliver it, and a person confirms your dates against the diary for this exact vehicle before anything is agreed. Everywhere else on this site a car is arranged through a vetted partner and described honestly as such. Here you get this car, not one like it.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can you hire a Bentley Bentayga V8 S in the UK?

Yes. This one is ours rather than a partner’s car, so we are the supplier: we hold the insurance, prepare the vehicle and deliver it anywhere in mainland Britain. Your dates are checked against the diary for this specific Bentayga by a person before anything is confirmed.

### How powerful is the Bentayga V8 S?

Comfortably more than the road ever asks of it, from Bentley’s twin-turbo V8. The S does not add power over a standard Bentayga V8; it changes the damping, the exhaust and the drive modes, so what you notice is the character rather than the pace. We put the full specification of the exact car in writing before it is delivered.

### How many seats does the Bentayga have?

Five, with a boot deep enough for four people’s luggage. Four-seat and seven-seat layouts exist elsewhere in the Bentayga range, but the car in our fleet is the five-seat configuration and it takes four people and their bags without argument.

### What is the minimum age to hire the Bentayga?

Thirty, with a full licence held for five years or more and no more than six penalty points. A refundable £5,000 deposit is held against a card in the hirer’s own name and the insurance excess is £5,000. Both are stated here rather than after you have filled in a form.

Nothing is booked or paid for through this website: a person confirms the car, the full cost and the delivery slot with you first.*
