Technical specifications for the 2017 Bentley Bentayga Diesel have been revealed ahead of the model's launch next January.
The Bentayga Diesel is Bentley's first diesel-powered production car, making use of a triple-charged 4.0-litre V8 diesel engine, which has been co-developed with Audi and uses two twin-scroll turbochargers supplemented by an electrically driven supercharger.
Exclusive: Bentley Bentayga diesel prototype driven
It develops 429bhp and the same peak torque as the Bentayga’s twin-turbo 6.0-litre petrol W12, although the diesel’s 664lb ft extends from just 1000rpm to 3250rpm.
That’s enough to launch the Bentayga Diesel from 0-62mph in 4.8sec and on to 168mph. According to Bentley’s head of engineering, Rolf Frech, its acceleration from 25mph to 75mph “is much the same as the W12’s, but the W12 gets a second wind at higher speeds”.
Fuel economy for the £135,800 luxury SUV is quoted at 35.8mpg combined and its CO2 emissions are 210g/km.
The Bentayga’s product manager, Peter Guest, said: “We would only do this when it was right. It had to be the right car and the right engine.”
Installing a potentially coarse diesel in a Bentley is a risk, even if this powerplant’s instant low-rev torque provides the stream of effortless thrust required. The brief, said Guest, was to deliver the Bentley driving experience with the trademark combination of performance and luxury, and no compromise in refinement. It also had to be “the fastest diesel SUV in the world”.
Bentley powertrain development boss Paul Williams said the three technologies that have enabled the firm to offer a diesel worthy of the brand are the engine’s triple-charging system, the 48V supplementary electrical system used to power the electric supercharger, and a sophisticated exhaust cleansing system.
The triple-charging system, previously seen in the Audi SQ7, which uses the same engine, provides boost at low revs from the near-instantly reacting supercharger.
This so-called e-booster also primes the first of two twin-scroll turbochargers. This first turbo amplifies midrange thrust, then a second twin-scroll turbo provides extra shove at mid to high revs when the e-booster is dormant.
The effectiveness of the e-booster is heightened by a valve shut-off system, whereby an exhaust valve disengages to provide faster combustion pressure build-up. The exhaust gases are dealt with by using a selective catalytic reduction system, an AdBlue urea fuel supplement and an additional catalyst. Williams said the system is “state of the art and meets all current and future legislation”.
The Bentayga has been acoustically engineered for the V8 diesel from the start and changes to the rest of the car are minor. The exhaust system has been modified — without artificial enhancement — and there are minor tuning changes to the suspension to cater for the weight redistribution caused by the 23-litre AdBlue tank.
The V8 diesel engine itself weighs only 3kg more than the W12. Black radiator mesh, ‘twin quad’ tailpipes and badges identify the Bentayga Diesel.

Bentley Motors announced full details of the first diesel model in the iconic British brand's history - the Bentley Bentayga Diesel.
At the heart of the world's fastest and most powerful luxury diesel SUV is an all-new, technologically advanced, triple-charged, 4.0-litre, 32-valve V8 engine. Developing 435 PS (429 bhp) and 900 Nm (664 lb. ft.) of torque, the Bentayga Diesel hits a top speed of 270 km/h (168 mph) and can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds (0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds).
Bentley's Crewe-based engineers have developed a V8 powertrain to deliver an authentic Bentley driving experience. Peak torque is available from very early in the rev range (just 1,000 rpm), which makes progress in the Bentayga Diesel truly effortless.
New clean technology gives the Bentley Bentayga Diesel the lowest CO2 emissions of any Bentley, as well as a range of over 1,000 km (621 miles) - allowing owners to, for example, drive from London to Verbier, Bordeaux or the Scottish Highlands on a single tank.
Inside, the Bentayga Diesel retains the innovative features, advanced technologies and handcrafted luxury for which the Bentley Bentayga is renowned.
Wolfgang Dürheimer, chairman and chief executive of Bentley Motors, said: "The Bentayga Diesel represents a moment of immense significance in Bentley's history, by giving the world its fastest luxury diesel SUV. Immense power, grand touring capabilities and superb refinement - this is a true Bentley. Only Bentley could produce a car so powerful, yet so refined."

Bentley has revealed full details of its first-ever oil-burner: the Bentayga Diesel. And it’s scheduled to arrive in South Africa at some point in 2017.
So, what powers this super-posh SUV? A triple-charged, 4,0-litre V8 diesel mill mated to a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission, of course. Yes, the same engine that is currently found the Audi SQ7…
In Bentley guise, its peak outputs are unchanged, which means it weighs in with 320 kW and a whopping 900 N.m (the latter on tap from just 1 000 r/min).
The Bentayga Diesel sprints from standstill to 100 km/h in 4,8 seconds (again, the same as the Audi) before topping out at 270 km/h (besting the SQ7 by 20 km/h). And that’s enough for the British brand to describe this Bentayga as the “world’s fastest luxury diesel SUV”.
The diesel model also features a number of unique styling additions, including a “V8 Diesel” badge on the lower front door edge as well as a “twin-quad” exhaust tailpipe design. It also gains a black matrix grille (with chrome surround and central bar).

Mansory’s tuned Bentley Bentayga makes 515 kW
Yes, it’s official: Mansory has whipped the covers off its version of the Bentley Bentayga, adding swathes of carbon-fibre and increasing the output of the hefty SUV’s already potent 12-cylinder mill.
In addition to affording the Bentayga a wide-body construction (and an obvious suspension drop), the German luxury vehicle modification firm has seen fit to add a new front apron, including an integrated front lip made from carbon-fibre. The SUV also gains additional LED daytime running lights, while the front grille surround and bonnet are both fashioned from (you guessed it) carbon-fibre.
Yet more carbon-fibre runs down the Mansory Bentayga’s flanks, while the rear diffuser and two-part roof spoiler (along with numerous other items, such as mirror caps and air inlets) are also fashioned from the lightweight material. The weight-saving theme continues with the polished, one-piece cast wheels, wrapped in 295/35Z R23 rubber.
Of course, Mansory has also gone to work on the big Bentley’s twin-turbo 6,0-litre V12 powertrain, adding a sports exhaust system and tweaking the engine management. The result is an increase in peak outputs from the standard 447 kW and 900 N.m to 515 kW and a whopping 1 050 N.m.
And, naturally, the company also offers plenty of customisation options for the cabin.

Rolls-Royce teases Cullinan SUV with fresh photos
Rolls-Royce has revealed two photographs of its latest Project Cullinan prototype, which previews the luxury brand’s upcoming SUV.
Of course, Rolls-Royce prefers not to refer to the Cullinan as an SUV (saying it’s “not necessarily sports, not necessarily utility”), opting to call it an “all-terrain, high-sided vehicle” instead.
Regardless of how it is labelled, it is seems increasingly likely that the production version of the Cullinan will compete directly with the Bentley Bentayga.
But the camouflaged vehicle pictured here is brand’s first full development vehicle, and it has just started testing. The prototype features a new “all-wheel-drive suspension system”, and runs on a new aluminium architecture expected to underpin all Rolls-Royces from 2018.
Rolls-Royce says testing will take place in “numerous locations around the world”, including the Arctic Circle and the Middle East.
