The twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 powered Bentayga Design Series features a body-colored lower front bumper and unique 22-inch Palladium Grey Paragon wheels that include a self-leveling Bentley badge in the center. That’s right: Even as the V-8 and its 542 horsepower and 568 pounds-feet of torque hustle the Bentayga to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 180 mph, the “B” badge remains upright.
