The Bentayga V8 will offer similar luxury and excellent road manners for less money than the W12.

Bentayga V8

The Bentayga may look just like a very expensive soft-roader, but eight different drive modes -- four of which are just for off-road -- make it more than capable. Just don't scratch it.

Bentayga V8 carbon brakes

The optional 440mm carbon-ceramic brakes on the Bentayga V8 are the largest brakes fitted to a road vehicle in the entire world. They're so big that they need ten piston calipers to squeeze them.

The V8 represents the sweet spot in the Bentayga lineup. It makes almost as much power as the W12 and returns a much more reasonable 24 miles per gallon combined.

Bentley is allowing buyers to equip their Bentaygas with high-gloss carbon fiber rather than matte finish carbon or wood.

The Bentayga has one of the most exquisite interiors in all of SUV-dom and just because you drop four cylinders from the top of the range model doesn't mean you lose any of that opulence inside.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
