Because SUV’s with the price of a two-under-one-detached house ship you with a simple dieseltje. That’ll give you a premium zelfontbrander.

With the introduction of the 280 mille costing Bentayga was only info about the new twaalfcilinder given, good for 447 kW/608 hp. But we had the promise that in the long term, a diesel and a plug-in to recuperate. Because the Bentayga a carpentry Q7 with chic wood is the chassis with the Audi Q7 shares, it was not hard to fill in what dieselblok ever under the hood will lie: the 4.0 V8 TDI from the SQ7, of course.

Automotive News now says the confirmation of a Bentley-engineer. Not only is it stately brand to the diesel, it immediately becomes a block with an electric turbo. Audi gave last year to publicize this technique with the RS5 TDI. The e-turbo uses an electric motor to the turbo to flush at low speeds, that the dreaded turbogat is eliminated.

According to the latest VAG-leaks is the power of the 4.0 V8 TDI e-turbo in the Q7 at 435 hp. Expected in the Bentayga TDI so at least the same number of pk’s, but is likely to be slightly higher. You want that price difference, after all, justify. In addition, there is within the Volkswagen Group have any expertise in terms of adapting a TDI engine, so that should to do (yes, we went there).
