Bentley Bentayga Speed SUV Is the Ultimate Performance Edition

Bentley reveals the new Bentayga Speed model – the ultimate performance edition of the brands popular SUV.

Bentley has announced a new “Speed” version of the Bentayga SUV, building on Bentley’s tradition of Speed models dating back to 2007 with the Continental GT Speed.

The most luxurious version of the Bentayga Speed to date, the new Speed version tweaks the 6.0-liter W12 engine to deliver maximum performance and includes many luxury extras as standard, including the Mulliner Driving Specification.

Hand-built at Crewe, the new Bentayga Speed increases the Bentayga’s performance to new levels, utilizing the 6.0-liter W12 twin-turbocharged engine to achieve a top speed of 190mph (306km/h) and deliver peak power of 635 PS (626 bhp).

Effortless acceleration is always guaranteed thanks to 900 Nm (664 lb.ft) of torque, available as a plateau from 1,500 rpm to 5,000 rpm while the Bentayga Speed’s 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint is delivered in 3.9 seconds.

“The new Bentayga has already raised the benchmark for luxury SUVs, against which all others are measured. Ahead of the launch of the new Bentayga Hybrid – the world’s only definitive luxury hybrid – in the coming months, it’s important that we still recognize the customer desire for absolute performance” shared Adrian Hallmark, Bentley Motors Chairman and Chief Executive. “The new Bentayga Speed remains the fastest SUV in the world, but more than that, it’s also the most luxurious version of the new Bentayga – the best of both worlds, the pinnacle.”

The Bentayga’s appearance has also had a few additions in the form of darkly tinted accents, a new front and rear bumper, and oval-shaped quad exhausts. If that’s not enough, there’s the option to upgrade to Bentley’s Black Specification featuring gloss black or carbon-fiber exterior chrome work and black 22” Bentayga Speed wheels.

The new interior of the Bentley Bentayga Speed also sees Alcantara introduced to the cabin and the Mulliner Driving Spec diamond quilting and “Speed” embroidery across the seats and wall panels.

The new Bentayga Speed now also has a fully digital driver’s information panel similar to the Continental GT and new Flying Spur. The display brings a contemporary look to the cockpit and can be customized to the driver’s requirements.

Exact release dates of the 2021 Bentley Bentayga Speed and final pricing are yet to be revealed but are expected to be upwards of USD$240,0,000.
