Overview

  • The Bentayga Speed’s 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 produces 641bhp and 850Nm of torque, replacing the outgoing W12 engine.
  • It accelerates from 0–60mph in 3.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 193mph, trimming 0.8 seconds off its predecessor’s sprint time.
  • The exterior is distinguished by 22-inch alloy wheels, darkened headlamps, Speed badging on the doors and optional 23-inch wheels with carbon-ceramic brakes.
  • The cabin features a bespoke Speed driver instrument cluster, a new Precision Diamond quilting pattern and darker secondary leather complemented by Speed badges on seats and dashboard.
  • All-wheel steering enhances manoeuvrability and cornering, and an Akrapovič titanium exhaust option amplifies engine noise, with pricing expected to exceed the standard model’s £170,000 base price.
