2022 Bentley Bentayga S is sporty and serene

This is the 2022 Bentley Bentayga S. 

Although the S falls below the top-spec Bentayga Speed in terms of outright power, this twin-turbo V8 can still hold its own.

The 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 is good for 542 horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque. 

An eight-speed automatic transmission puts the power down to all four 22-inch wheels.

Tthe S model gets a few visual upgrades over the standard Bentayga like blacked-out trim and smoked headlights and taillights. 

There is also a larger rear spoiler and unique tail pipes, plus a whole lot of "S" badging as well. 

The Bentayga S can sprint from a dead stop to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds.

An optional All-Terrain Specification adds modes for Snow, Dirt and Gravel, Mud and Trail and Sand.

In total my tester comes to $269,390. That includes $46,865 in options and $2,725 for destination.
