Bentley Bentayga Speed: the 635 hp SUV W12 in Geneva


At the Geneva Motor Show 2019 Bentley presents Bentayga Speed , the most powerful version that completes the British luxury SUV range. Under the bonnet the W12 typical of the best performing Bentley, on the other hand stands out the distinctive style, for an even more exclusive model compared to the versions with V8 engine , plug-in hybrid and Diesel .



Compared to the 608 hp delivered by the current W12 variant , the 6-liter twin - turbo Bentley Bentayga Speed ​​reaches a maximum power of 635 hp , while the maximum torque developed remains at the remarkable value of 900 Nm . Sufficient numbers to further raise the bar of the maximum speed, which from 301 km / h passes to 306 km / h, and the 0-100, which goes from 4.1 to 3.9 seconds.

The 8-speed automatic transmission remains in conjunction with permanent four-wheel drive . These elements, together with the suspension and the Bentley Dynamic Ride system , respond differently when the Sport driving mode is set , updated for a more engaging experience (there are also the Comfort, the Bentley and the Custom).

Present the Bentley Dynamic Ride , the first active roll control technology in the world to use a 48V electronic system . A system that counteracts the lateral forces that generate rolling in the corners and ensures maximum grip of the tires. The braking system, which benefits from the largest and most powerful carboceramic disks ever fitted on a Bentley, is also unparalleled: maximum braking torque of 6,000 Nm, resistance to temperatures up to 1,000 ° C and -20 kg of mass compared to cast iron brakes.



The imposing design of Bentley Bentayga is further enhanced by the aesthetic appearance of the Speed ​​variant , with the body's lower body color , the splitters in the front and rear bumpers in the same color and a new large rear spoiler. The dark honeycomb grid on the bumper and radiator is also unusual.

The stylistic endowment of Bentley Bentayga Speed ​​also completes the 22-inch alloy wheels available in 3 finishes: silver, dark tint or black (the latter reserved for the Specification Black package). Finally, scattered along the body we find the Speed ​​badges.


The interior of the Bentley Bentayga Speed are "the quintessence of modern British design". Set up at the Crewe site in England, they use the Alcantara fabric (previously used on the more performing models such as the Continental Supersports), as an alternative to the more classic leather.

Do not miss the characteristic swooshes around the door and handle, on the edge of the seat and back padding and on the lower console. The diamond quilting is evident on the padding of the seats, on the upper part of the backrest, on the door panels and on the rear panel of the four-seater models instead of five. Further exclusive details are the Speed ​​logo with invisible stitching or contrasting the base of the headrest . Finally, the Speed ​​metal emblem embellishes the passenger side dashboard, while an illuminated slogan with the word Speed ​​welcomes passengers in the passenger compartment.
