Check Offers If the already available V6 hybrid and powerful V8 powertrains are not enough, Bentley is ready to unleash more for its Bentayga SUV. The British luxury car maker is working on another Bentayga, and it promises to be even more potent than the previous W12 model. The carmaker has teased the new Bentley Bentayga ahead of its June 2 unveiling. While Bentley is keeping most of the juicy details a secret, the small teaser video released by the company on its official social media channel reveals the exhaust note. Bentley also claimed that it is going to be the most powerful Bentayga ever, which clearly indicates that the upcoming model will have a V8 engine churning out more power than the previous 12-cylinder Speed model. There will be a standard sports exhaust and even a new Sport calibration with a drift mode.

For reference, the Bentayga W12 churn out 592 bhp peak power and could race to 0-100 kmph in four seconds flat before it was discontinued last year. The new V8 hybrid powertrain of the automaker is capable of pumping out nearly 730 bhp peak power and offers up to 80 kilometres of pure electric range.

Pinky Cole says Bentley stolen outside new restaurant stripped for parts
The Brief Slutty Vegan founder Pinky Cole says people in the community have helped her find parts of her car after it was stolen over the weekend. The theft happened just as Cole opened her new sandwich shop in Atlanta's West End neighborhood. Cole also said that she has received other tips that she is looking into to try and find the missing car and other items. ATLANTA - Atlanta restaurateur Pinky Cole says she's received some new leads after her black Bentley Bentayga was stolen while she was celebrating the opening of her new sandwich shop in the city. Cole said she had just got the car back from the mechanic a day before the theft happened. The backstory The theft happened on Sunday outside her new shop, Voagies, which serves vegan hoagies, on Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard. According to Cole, customers were lined up waiting to order when three men rode into the area on scooters, jumped into her car, and took off. The Slutty Vegan founder shared a video on Instagram showing the scene outside Voagies shortly after the incident. The scooters believed to have been used by the suspects were left on the ground, while bystanders looked on. Cole said that police were contacted and asked followers to let her know if they'd seen the car. What we know On Monday, Cole shared an update, saying that her followers helped reunite her with some of her stolen items. According to Cole, she was sent a video of her car stripped for parts. "I got so many DMs and so many tips," she said. The restaurateur shared pictures showing pieces of a vehicle spread out in a grassy area. "All of my stuff was spread out in the middle of the street," she said. She said that the person who found the pieces of the vehicle was able to retrieve her passport and card book, but other items - including her laptop and bookbag - remain missing.

BYD's luxury off-road range-extender EV gets stretched
BYD's luxury subsidiary Yangwang has revealed the U8L extended wheelbase luxury 4WD at this week's Shanghai motor show, set to rival long-wheelbase versions of the Range Rover and Bentley Bentayga . Shown in a distinctive two-tone black and gold paint finish and rolling on massive 23-inch monobloc-style forged alloy wheels, the Yangwang U8L is described as a 'full-size executive luxury SUV'. It measures 5400mm long, 2049mm wide and 1921mm tall with a 3250mm wheelbase. For reference, the 'standard' U8 is 5319mm long, 2050mm wide and 1930mm tall, with a 3050mm wheelbase according to official specs. Going by the supplied specifications, it appears that Yangwang has extended the wheelbase without really increasing the overall vehicle length, which is a little unusual. Part of that could be down to the fact the U8L doesn't mount a spare wheel on the tailgate like the regular U8. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now . By comparison, the Range Rover Long Wheelbase measures 5252/2047/1870mm with a 3197mm wheelbase; while the Bentley Bentayga EWB is 5305/2010/1739mm with a 3175mm wheelbase. Only the Rolls-Royce Cullinan outdoes the U8L in the wheelbase dimension, measuring 5355/2000/1835mm with a 3295mm wheelbase. BYD's premium arm doesn't detail much else about its new flagship SUV, other than the aforementioned new Obsidian Black over Sun Gold exterior finish, 24-carat gold badging and 23-inch forged alloys. Yangwang hasn't revealed any images of the interior yet either, meaning we also don't know how that extra 200mm of wheelbase translates to more rear passenger room, nor whether the second row will get unique features typical of LWB luxury flagships like reclining captain's chairs or larger entertainment displays – though it's rumoured to offer a three-row layout. While the powertrain hasn't been confirmed, it's understood the U8L will draw upon the U8's extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) drivetrain, which teams a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with a 49.05kWh LFP Blade battery and no less than four electric motors. System outputs for the standard U8 are a whopping 880kW and 1280Nm, good for a 0-100km/h sprint of just 3.6 seconds, while top speed is electronically limited to 200km/h. The U8's EV-only range is capped at 180km, although the U8 can travel 1000km between fuel stops courtesy of a 75-litre fuel tank – expect the U8L's claims to be a little lower than the standard model given the extra size. The U8 supports 110kW DC fast charging, and can also power household appliances using its 6kW vehicle-to-load (V2L) capacity. In standard form the U8 has a maximum wading depth of 1000mm, while the Master Edition ups that to 1400mm and features a snorkel. Despite its 3460kg heft, Yangwang says that the U8 can remain afloat for up to 30 minutes in deep water, protecting occupants during river crossings or flash floods. Inside, features include Nappa leather upholstery and six screens, including a 23.6-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12.8-inch infotainment display and a 23.6-inch screen for the front passenger. Each rear passenger also has access to an entertainment display. In addition to the screen-fest, the U8 comes equipped with a 70-inch head-up display and a 22-speaker Dynaudio sound system. In addition to aforementioned rivals to legacy luxury brands, the Yangwang U8L could also have some serious competition in its own backyard. Earlier this week the new Zeekr 9X was revealed at Auto Shanghai 2025, powered by a similarly complex 2.0-litre turbocharged extended-range hybrid system. A 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine producing 205kW of power features under the bonnet, mated with a 290kW front electric motor and a 370kW rear electric motor. Zeekr hasn't released full specifications for the big luxury SUV, but has confirmed it'll have an electric range of more than 380km thanks to a 'Xiaoyao' battery from CATL. The 9X has a 900V electrical system and 6C charging, and Zeekr claims it can be charged from 20 to 80 per cent in just nine minutes. It also has a claimed 0-100km/h acceleration time of 'just three seconds'.
