Bentley has unveiled the new 2026 Bentayga Speed. This variant stands out from other luxury suvs. This beauty has an attitude. It is equipped with a V8 engine, racing modifications, and a Drift Mode which is thrilling for drivers who seek refinement alongside thrill. Whether you're cruising down the glitz of Rodeo Drive or navigating the winding roads of Colorado, the new Bentayga Speed is designed to deliver an exceptional driving experience like no other.
Even Bigger Performance Gains With New Engine
The iconic W12 engine has been swapped out for a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8. You would assume that reducing the amount of cylinders would decrease performance, but with this case it does not. The redesigned V8 engine delivers an impressive 641 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque, surpassing the output of the previous W12. This SUV weighs 5,400 pounds and still manages to achieve 0-62 mph in a jaw dropping 3.4 seconds. It can reach a thrilling top speed of 193 mph with ease. Along with enduring new modifications, the performance vehicles will also be speedier compared to previous models and even more aggressive with the new standard sports exhaust and even louder optional Akrapovič titanium setup.
Yes, A Bentley That Drifts
Although this may come as a surprise, the 2026 Bentayga Speed now features a new ESC Dynamic mode that permits drifting. This carving ultra-luxury SUV can slide through corners. It's not just about luxury; with Enhanced Sport mode and optional carbon ceramic brakes, every Bentayga can now be playful. This is because of Bentley’s attempts to improve the fun-to-drive factor, not just speed in a straight line, in their fastest SUV.
Never Before Handling
With his power, Bentley gave more than just adding horsepower. The new Bentayga Speed now has Bentayga's first rear-wheel steering. This makes the tighter turns easier and also makes high-speed driving more stable. A further 15% stiffer suspension for improved grip and faster response to corners has also been added. And yes, Launch Control has finally made it into the Bentayga lineup. So if you fancy putting on a show from the stoplight, you're all set to launch like a rocket.
Aggressive Yet Polished
Bentley still turns heads with its striking and confident design. You will also appreciate “Speed” badges, blacked chrome trim, and smoked tail and headlights. Aligned wheels are 22 inches, and there are 23 inch alloys available for an even bolder stance. Cotton pickers have the ability to select optional black gloss or satin roofs for extra flair. This is still a Bentayga but just with more sportier attitude and looks.
A Cabin That Shouts Power
Board the Bentley and see it’s dashes of racing bent on top of their trademark lavish hospitality, starting with hands air-crafted seating. The seats have a new “Precision Diamond” pattern quilting on them while a new outsole and the headrest’s doors have logos masquerading as embroidery. Speed inspired displays on the dash board and digital cluster ensure there is no lack of sportiness. It is the place where comfort meets speed.
Information on Price and Launch
The 2026 model of the Bentley Bentayga Speed will come with an MSRP of roughly $280,000 in the U.S. This doesn’t even take into account the available carbon-ceramic brakes or the Akrapovič exhaust option. Salles are proposed to begin mid 2025, with deliveries set for early 2026. Bentley sclearly have their sights set at competitors like the Aston Martin DBX707 and the Lamborghini Urus, and are ready for a showdown.
