Bentley Bentayga Speed: The World's Fastest Production SUV

Introduction to the Bentley Bentayga Speed

Bentley Motors announced full details of the world’s fastest production SUV, the Bentayga Speed. Designed, engineered, and handcrafted in Great Britain, the Bentayga Speed is the most powerful and performance-oriented Bentayga to date. It builds on a long tradition of Speed models that was born with the Continental GT in 2007 and pushes the boundaries of Bentayga performance further by claiming the production SUV record at the grueling Pikes Peak International Hill Climb last year.

Performance Specifications

With a top speed of 306 km/h (190 mph), the Bentayga Speed is the most powerful and performance-oriented variant of the luxury SUV to date. Featuring an enhanced version of the brand’s popular 6.0-liter W12 twin-turbocharged engine, it produces:

• Horsepower: 626 hp
• Torque: 900 Nm
• Acceleration: 0-100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds

Exterior Design

To match the elevated levels of performance, the Bentayga Speed sports a purposeful exterior look, which includes:

• Dark-tint headlights
• Body-colored side skirts
• Striking tailgate spoiler
• Dark-tint radiator and bumper grilles
• Unique 22-inch wheel design available in three finishes
• Speed signature badging

Driving Dynamics

As with all Bentayga models, the all-wheel-drive Speed is equipped with an Electronic Differential Lock and up to eight drive modes. Bespoke engineering revisions to the Sport mode provide:

• A more dynamic drive
