By Peter Frey -The Test Drive Guy
There are few pleasures in the world greater than driving a rich, powerful car under blue skies and tropical greenery, and two of the very best are to be found on the showroom oor at Palm Beach Bentley.
The Bentley Bentayga is not only
the company's rst-ever sport
utility vehicle, it’s also the most
luxurious, most powerful and
fastest SUV ever – all-wheel drive,
air suspension and a 600 horsepower, turbocharged V-12 engine, that can ac- celerate the Bentayga from 0 to 60 in four seconds at... and a top speed of 187 miles an hour.
A beast, yes, but also – as you would expect from Bentley – a beauty. The sev- en-passenger Bentayga delivers the n- est automotive interior in the world with handcrafted wood and leather through- out, an enormous panoramic moon roof, a trio of concert-quality sound systems and sumptuous, individually handcrafted seats that feature 22-way adjustment, massage, heating and ventilation.
Customizing options include more than a hundred paint colors, fteen colors of carpeting, seven di erent wood veneers and fteen choices of leather upholstery. The Bentayga is a true Bentley, combin- ing unparalleled luxury with sporting
ability, o -road performance and every- day usability, unrestrained by climate or terrain.
If you prefer a more – intimate – motor- ing experience, the all-new, third-gener- ation Continental GT Coupe delivers the very essence of ‘Grand Touring.’ Powered by a 626 horsepower, 12-cylinder engine that o ers up 0 to 60 acceleration in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 207 miles per hour, the Continental GT is muscular in both appearance and ability.
The Bentley Continental GT City Speci - cation is con gured for urban journeys and includes hands-free boot opening, pedestrian warning, tra c-sign recogni- tion and city braking systems as well as a top-view camera. The Touring Speci ca- tion is designed for long-distance driving, o ering adaptive cruise control with traf- c-jam assist, active lane assist, a heads- up display, night vision with an infrared
camera, and pre-sense braking. Such is the level of detail that the LED Matrix headlights are designed like the nest cut-crystal glasses with sharply de ned edges that catch the light like a diamond.
The result is similar to that of an illuminated gem – an e ect which is magni ed when the optional welcome sequence gradually illuminates the headlights as you approach the car.
The Mulliner Driving Speci cation
adds a more sporting look to the car with 22” lightweight forged alloy wheels, unique ‘diamond in diamond’ quilting, embroidered Bentley emblems, additional veneer options, a jeweled- n- ish fuel ller, sports pedals and indented leather headliner.
Bentley Palm Beach o ers these, as well as the full range of magni cent Bentley vehicles, including the athletic Flying Spur sedan and the agship Mulsanne.
