WHEELS & WATER
NEWS FLASH BENTAYGA UPDATE The introduction of a Bentley SUV five years ago might have shocked a few stiff upper lips in Pall Mall, but it has proved to be perhaps the historic British make’s most successful model ever. More than 25,000 Bentley Bentaygas have found buyers around the world. Now Bentley has given the model a midlife boost with the introduction of an enhanced S version. It will be the fourth variant in the Bentayga line, after V8, Speed and Hybrid, on its
expected arrival Down Under later this year. (Ask your local dealer about the price.) The Bentayga S will be easy to pick with its black-plated exterior highlights and enormous 22-inch wheels. Bentley might be owned by Volkswagen but right down to its unique hand stitching, there’s nothing mass-market about this epic land barge. The more important features of the S are its interiors in four-, five- or seven-seat configurations and sumptuous leather upholstery.
A twin-turbocharged V8 will get you to 290 kmh if you’re game, but it also has enhanced suspension settings that limit cornering rock ‘n roll and the ability to churn through half a metre of water. And there’s a free-flow exhaust to make boyracer noises. A 290 kmh Bentley off-road is the vehicle you never knew you needed … but wouldn’t it be fun to own one?
MAGNIFICENT MACHINE
There is only one word needed to describe this magnificent 2016 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S and that’s ‘wow’. From the stunning pearl effect yellow paintwork, to the handcrafted mocha leather with contrasting white stitching, this car is intoxicating in every way. Its twin turbo 4.0 V8 will leave you speechless from the moment you press the starter button, while power delivery from standstill is epic and unrelenting. But even though this car is heavily performance focused, it is still a very comfortable and safe place to be in. It has all the technology and standard equipment you would expect from Mercedes-Benz, then AMG have come along and added the extras. This beautiful beast just oozes power and passion and now is your chance to secure one of the finest performance cars to ever hit our roads.
