The Bentley Bentayga Speed Returns: Now V8, Faster, and Wilder Than Ever
Discover the all-new Bentley Bentayga Speed V8. With 641BHP, launch control, and a new Sport mode, this luxury SUV takes performance to thrilling new heights.
Bentley Bentayga Speed V8 (2025): The New Era of Luxury Performance
Bentley has officially unveiled the new Bentayga Speed V8, a luxury SUV that trades the beloved W12 for an uprated twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8—but don’t mistake this for a downgrade. With 641bhp, 627 lb-ft of torque, and a 0–62mph time of just 3.4 seconds, this is the fastest and most dynamic Bentayga to date.
From Thundercloud to Drift Machine
The outgoing 6.0-litre W12 offered brute force, but the new V8-powered Bentayga brings agility into the mix. With a new 'Sport' mode, recalibrated ESC, and stiffer dampers (up by 15%), this 2.5-tonne SUV is now capable of drift angles and launch control. Bentley calls it "exhilarating." We call it unhinged, in the best way possible.
More Power, More Sound
Bentley skipped the 771bhp hybrid unit found in the Continental GT Speed and instead went for a more balanced power delivery. A standard sports exhaust and optional Akrapovic titanium system ensure the new Bentayga doesn’t just perform—it sounds the part too.
All-Wheel Precision, Speed Aesthetic
With all-wheel-steering, available carbon ceramic brakes, and Bentley’s signature ride refinement, the Bentayga Speed V8 proves that size doesn’t mean compromise. Outside, dark-tint brightware, Speed badging, 22- or 23-inch wheels, and a black roof option add presence. Inside, the new Precision Diamond quilt and darker leather palette bring extra flair.
Why It Matters
The 2025 Bentley Bentayga Speed V8 represents a key moment: the brand's move away from the W12 and into a lighter, faster, more agile era. It’s not just a successor—it’s a statement. The king of luxury SUVs just learned to dance.
