snoop1130 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Bentley Bangkok The very best of British. Bentley Bangkok by AAS Auto Service Co.,Ltd, the sole authorised dealer and distributor of Bentley in Thailand has many reasons to look forward positively to the future. In 2019 Bentley celebrated its 100th birthday. The company commemorated its 100 extraordinary years of existence at the former British Embassy site on Wireless Road. David Jackson, MD of Bentley Thailand is keen to share what the future looks like, “I am delighted to be leading the Bentley brand in Thailand as the company enters its second century of business. We at AAS – a name you can trust, are proud to be a part of the Bentley story so far and to continue to be part of this incredible journey. I am proud to present a new retail environment and range of models that have been thrilling our customers around the world. Bentley is significantly strengthening its brand and positioning in the Thai market by continuing to launch the world’s best automobiles across new and existing segments. With a long heritage of world-class engineering, motorsport distinction and iconic designs and its commitment to excellence. Bentley makes extraordinary cars for discerning customers, a unique blend of luxury and performance that cannot be found anywhere else but here at the home of the brand in Thailand. AAS is significantly boosting the Bentley brand presence in the Thai market. In its retail spaces, we aim to offer an extraordinary experience for our customers within Bentley’s global brand standards. Our customers will experience the latest models that have been thrilling customers around the world namely… The Bentley Bentayga V8 petrol the most sporting guise of this award-winning SUV to date. The V8 petrol is the unique blend of power and refinement which gives it a distinct, unrivalled position in the luxury SUV market. It has defined a new sector and set the luxury SUV benchmark, offering customers the ultimate grand touring experience unrestricted by landscape or conditions. At the heart of the latest model is a new generation 4.0 litre, twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine, which combines immense power with impressive fuel efficiency. The addition of a characteristic V8 burble, stylish twin-quad exhaust pipes and optional carbon-ceramic brakes, reveals more of the luxury SUV’s sporting character. The dynamic unit develops 542bhp (550PS) and 568lb.ft. (770 Nm) of torque, resulting in a top speed of 180mph (290 km/h) and 0-60mph in 4.4 seconds (100 km/h in 4.5 seconds). The class-leading performance of the Bentayga V8 is complemented by a range of 464 miles (746km), with CO2 emissions of 260g/km. This refined efficiency (24.8mpg/11.4 litres/100 km combined) comes, in part, through the ability of the engine to deactivate four of its eight cylinders in suitable conditions, without compromising the drive. The seamless change happens in just 20 milliseconds, making it imperceptible to customers. The addition of stop-start technology, which can activate at ‘near-to-stop’ speeds, also contributes to the emissions figure. Sitting at the core of the Bentayga range, the new V8 model fuses exquisite luxury with power, usability and extensive sporting ability. Its responsive performance is fully customisable on demand by the driver through Bentley’s Drive Dynamics system, from limousine-like refinement to sporting precision. Inside, customers will recognise Bentley’s unique approach to modern luxury tailoring, with the familiar blend of exquisite handcrafted materials and advanced technologies. New styling features include a wood and hide steering wheel and the introduction of a high gloss carbon fibre interior panel finish.

madhav Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Seriously think there should be a law that anyone who buys cars that cost 20 million baht should be forced to live in the slums of a 3rd world country for an extended period of time. Hopefully it would give them some perspective and rethink their priorities in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thian Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Looks are stunning...but imagine driving it in BKK traffic jam while loads of scooters push themselves between your car and others....or driving it along the gardeners who are lawnmowing along the roads with stones flying around.... Or driving it outside of BKK on roads full of holes, idiots, soidogs, falling coconuts, overhanging loads.....nahhh not me...i pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer90210 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 A nice toy definately....but I would not feel safe either driving around in some dark lit street late at night....and feel even less in peace to leave it in a cramped parking of MBk ... such a car needs to come with a driver....but then what's the point to have such a beauty and not be able to drive it oneself ?...perhaps to do some bunga bunga hankyPanky in the back seat at most....

Boricua67 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Good for whoever can afford a car like this. So many haters. I love how people look at me with envy when I'm driving my 2008 Mercedes Benz S550. It just fuels my desire to make more money and buy nicer stuff and flaunt it in the faces of people who are too lazy or too dumb to make as much money as me.

madhav Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 My point is that it is possible to save 15 million baht and get a new X5 xDrive 45e and you could have a very comfortable suv. With a simple ecu tune can easily get even the same power as that Bentley Bentayga SUV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you can afford such a car in Thailand you are a somebody . Not only one with a car like that will not be shopping at MBK but even if they did. They would get VIP treatment with its own security guard and most likely 5 empty spaces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are worth 50 million , getting 5 million car is ok , just as when you are worth a billion. 20 million baht car is a norm, not to mention most likely used as a tax write off or deduction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is hate? Envy or just amusement at the need to own this form of transport?I would not buy this vehicle as it would not fit my requirements, regardless of personal wealth. Owning a vehicle like this is a statement of personal or corporate power or social standing, not a means of transport. I do not need to make such a statement as I really do not care about such things, I have no power and do not give a <deleted> about my social standing. As a Farang I have NO social status.

atyclb Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 the classic bentley style akin to rolls royce looks ok. the car used in this article does injustice to bentley as it looks like an overstretched aston martin/jaguar with huge doors. looks way too long to be practical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
