FearLess Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Bentley Motors has announced the full details of the world’s fastest production SUV. The Bentayga Speed features an enhanced 466kW version of the renowned 6.0-litre W12 engine that delivers a top speed of 306km/h and 0-100km/h in 3.9 seconds. Most powerful to date 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 since claiming the production SUV record at the gruelling Pikes Peak International Hill Climb last year. With a top speed of 305km/h, the Bentayga Speed is our most powerful and performance-oriented variant to date. To match the elevated levels of performance, the Bentayga Speed sports a purposeful exterior look. Dark-tint headlights, body-coloured side skirts and a striking tailgate spoiler hint at the SUV’s performance credentials. The Pinnacle of SUV luxury and performance The new model takes the Bentayga’s extraordinary abilities to new levels, boosting maximum power from 447kW in the existing 6.0-litre W12 twin-turbocharged model to 466kW in the new Speed. Effortless acceleration is delivered thanks to 900Nm of torque. With exceptional performance, comfort and handling, maximum speed is also increased from 301km/h to 306km/h in the new Speed, while the 0-100km/h acceleration time is reduced from 4.1 seconds to 3.9 seconds. The performance pinnacle of the Bentayga range, Speed is equipped with four on-road Drive Dynamics modes: Comfort at one extreme, and Bentley and Sport at the other, with Custom for customers who opt to create their own driving set-up. Luxurious and unique Handcrafted in Crewe, England, the cabin is the epitome of modern British design. The SUV introduces a new colour split interior, specifically designed to highlight unique styling lines. Key to this is the use of Alcantara trim in a Bentayga for the first time. Alcantara is a highly tactile cloth that is often the preserve of high-performance cars – it has previously been used by Bentley on models such as the Continental Supersports.
