Bentayga Speed: Bentley's 650PS Luxury SUV Reimagined
Bentley positions the Bentayga Speed as its most compelling luxury SUV, marrying explosive performance with trademark craftsmanship. The twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 unleashes 650 PS and 850 Nm, propelling the Bentley SUV from 0–62 mph in 3.4 seconds and on to 193 mph (310 km/h); the famed “torque plateau” between 2,250 and 4,500 rpm ensures relentless thrust at every squeeze of the accelerator. A standard sports exhaust delivers a rich growl, while the optional titanium Akrapovič system, complete with quad tailpipes, amplifies the drama.
Engineers sharpened dynamics by introducing an enhanced SPORT mode that stiffens suspension by 15 per cent and employs brake-based torque vectoring for razor-sharp turn-in. Launch Control debuts, guaranteeing crisp, repeatable sprints. Select ESC Dynamic with optional carbon ceramic brakes, and you can indulge in controlled oversteer, confident that colossal stopping power stands ready. New all-wheel steering points the rear wheels in the opposite direction of the fronts at low speeds to boost agility and in unison at high speeds to bolster stability.
Dark-tinted brightware, unique Speed headlamps, and 22-inch wheels assert the SUV’s intent; a 23-inch design appears for the first time when you opt for those carbon ceramic discs. A contrasting black roof underscores its performance focus. Inside, Precision Diamond quilting, Speed badges and a dedicated digital display reinforce the sporting theme. A darker secondary hide envelops the cabin, relieved by flashes of the primary colour to balance luxury with purpose.
Glide in COMFORT, cruise in BENTLEY or unleash SPORT; whichever mode you choose, the Bentayga Speed redefines expectations by fusing grand-touring refinement with sports-car intensity, proving once again that Bentley sets the standard for a truly engaging luxury SUV.
