For most owners of the Bentley Bentayga, having the
car’s 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12 engine develop 608 PS and 900 Nm of torque will suffice. However, those that feel there’s room for
improvement when it comes to performance, now have another power upgrade
available, which costs as much as a new VW Golf: € 18,900 (US$ 23,391), tax
included, in Germany.
Created by Startech and offered in the form of two
control modules, the plug-and-play parts are adapted to the engine electronics.
Once installed, the stock output jumps to 710 PS and 1,070 Nm of torque.
The 0 to 100 km/h acceleration
time takes only 3.9 sec, an 0.2 sec improvement over the stock model, and top
speed remains untouched at 301 km/h. Alongside the plug-and-play modules, Startech also
has other upgrades in store for the Bentley Bentayga. One of them is the
lowering kit for both axles, which brings the entire body closer to the road by
20 mm, costing € 940.10 (US$ 1,163).
Finally, the aftermarket specialist can fit the
British luxury SUV with a sports exhaust, compatible only with the W12 petrol
engine, and priced at € 6,961.50 (US$ 8,615). Startech’s latest aftermarket parts
join the already availably widebody kit, LED taillights, modified door panels,
and different wheel options, up to 23-inches.
