Bentley Unveils the New Bentayga Speed: The Most Powerful and Dynamic SUV in Its History
SME News Europe.Bentley Motors has officially unveiled the new Bentayga Speed, marking a new chapter in the luxury marque’s performance legacy. Described as the most powerful and most dynamic iteration of the Bentayga to date, this flagship SUV redefines what is possible in the ultra-luxury performance SUV segment.
At the heart of the new Bentayga Speed lies a re-engineered 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, delivering an extraordinary 650 PS (641 bhp) and 850 Nm of torque. This powertrain propels the vehicle from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.4 seconds, with a top speed of 193 mph (310 km/h) — figures that eclipse even its W12-powered predecessor.
Beyond sheer performance, the Bentayga Speed introduces advanced dynamic technologies, including a significantly enhanced SPORT driving mode, ESC Dynamic programming, and all-wheel steering. These features offer drivers the choice between refined control and exhilarating on-throttle slip angles, a first for Bentley’s SUV lineup.
The driving experience is further elevated with optional carbon ceramic brakes, Launch Control, and the unmistakable acoustics of a standard sports exhaust system, or the optional Akrapovic Titanium Exhaust for an even more visceral sound signature.
Visually, the new Speed model distinguishes itself with an aggressive yet elegant design: dark-tinted headlamps, bespoke Speed badging, 22” or optional 23” wheels, and the exclusive Speed Black Roof. Inside, the cabin exudes craftsmanship and performance intent, featuring Precision Diamond quilting, Speed-exclusive interior details, and a driver-focused digital cockpit.
“The new Bentayga Speed isn’t just an evolution – it’s a bold redefinition of SUV performance and luxury,” said [Insert Bentley Spokesperson], adding that the vehicle sets new benchmarks in both capability and refinement.
This launch reinforces Bentley’s commitment to combining unmatched performance with handcrafted luxury, solidifying its position at the forefront of the global ultra-luxury SUV market.
