Bentley Motors Korea said on March 12 it has launched the all-new Bentayga Speed — the brand’s most powerful luxury SUV — in South Korea.
Positioned at the top of the Bentayga range, the all-new Bentayga Speed is a high-performance model inspired by Bentley Motorsport heritage, marrying luxury with serious performance in an SUV package.
Under the hood is a new 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine. It produces 650 horsepower and 86.7 kg·m of torque (about 627 lb-ft), making it the most powerful production V8 in Bentley’s lineup. Peak torque is available from 2,250 to 4,500 rpm, delivering strong yet smooth acceleration.
The Bentayga Speed covers 0–100 km/h in 3.6 seconds (0–62 mph) and has a top speed of 301 km/h (187 mph). Selecting Bentley’s first-ever 23-inch wheels and the carbon-ceramic brake option raises the top speed to 310 km/h (193 mph), the quickest in Bentayga history.
Drivers can choose from Comfort, Bentley, and Sport driving modes. Sport mode broadens its tuning and increases damping force by 15% for a more dynamic feel. The Bentayga lineup gains launch control for the first time, and a Dynamic ESC setting enables more aggressive maneuvers such as controlled drifting and power slides.
The vehicle is also fitted with an electronically controlled all-wheel steering system. At low speeds the rear wheels turn opposite the fronts to reduce the turning circle and improve agility; at high speeds they steer in the same direction to enhance stability.
The exterior adds dark-tint accents and a bright-chrome "Speed" badge, and it comes standard with two-tone 22-inch Speed-specific alloy wheels. Customers can further sharpen the look with Bentley’s first 23-inch wheel option and an optional black roof.
Inside, the cabin features a Speed-specific driver display and Speed badging, plus precision diamond-quilted leather seats and a split-color interior that emphasize the model’s premium character.
The all-new Bentayga Speed is hand-built by craftsmen at Bentley’s Dream Factory in Crewe, England. Pricing in South Korea starts at 333,000,000 KRW including VAT (about $249,750).
