It seems to learn Bentley’s Legendary Twin-Turbo 6.0-liter W12 Last year, not all was bad news, since the V8 replacing it in the upgraded 2026 Bentley Bentayga -speed Makes the flagship SUV of the British brand even faster, faster, lighter and more agile than before.
The night unveiled for the first Australian customer deliveries in the third quarter (July to September) of 2026, the renewed Bentayga speed is powered by a Twin-Turbo 4.0-liter V8 That produces 478 KW of power and 850 Nm van Koppel (more than 2250-4500 rpm).
That is 11 kW only 50 Nm on the 12-cylinder model replaces it, but because the V8 reduces the sidewalk weight by 42 kg to a still intense 2466 kg, it is claimed that the newest Bentayga speed 60 MPH (97 km/h) of standing second, in 3.4 seconds, is hit.

Given that 0-60 mph time is equal to a time of 0-100 km/h of approximately 3.5 seconds, this means that the flagship version of Bentley’s only SUV is now as fast as the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S E-performance Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) SUV and the KIA EV6 GT Electric ‘SUV’ (and now much faster than a basic Porsche 911).
Het is echter nog steeds langzamer dan een groot aantal andere krachtige SUV’s, waaronder de Lamborghini Urus Performante, Ferrari Purosangue en Aston Martin DBX707 (die allemaal een 3,3-seconden 0-100 km/h-tijd claimen) en elektrische SUV’s inclusief de lotus eletre r (2.9s), Porsche Macan Turbo (3.3s) en hyundai en hyundai ionen en Hyundai and Hyundai and Hyundai and Hyundai and Hyundai Ioni ions and Hyundai and Hyundai ioni. (3.4S)
Bentley says that the newest Bentayga speed is also faster than ever, with the top speed of 310 km/h – almost 5 km/h more than before – corresponds to the DBX707 and the Purosangue improves, but just shortage of the Urus SE Hybrid.
To show off its extra pace, the V8-driven speed scores a sports exhaust system as standard, but an optional Akrapovic Titanium unit with quad sales points would have to be four fewer cylinders when it comes to the exhaust nut.
There are also revised drive modes, including a sports mode that increases the damping stiffness by 15 percent and increases the threshold of the stability control system to “allow exciting drift angles”.
Combined with less weight over his nose, the rear -wheel control increases both high speed stability and low speed maneuverability, so that Bentley claims that the speed is the most agile SUV ever.
Cosmetically, the upper shelf Bentayga wears speed baths on the outside and runs on unique 22-inch wheels, with the option of 23-inch rims wrapped around carbon ceramic brake rotors.
Completing the speed package inside is a revised layout for digital instruments, speed bathing on the seats, scuff plates and the passenger side of the dashboard and special quilted precision diamon trim highlights.
Australian prices still have to be confirmed, but the existing Bentayga speed is priced at $ 531,500 before on-road costs and it positions it well above the entry 404 kW/770NM Bentayga V8 and the 340 kW/700 Nm V6 Hybrid (both AS Senures from $ 395,800).
The Mulliner Hybrid Tops Tops Bentley Australia’s current Bentayga range at $ 646,800 plus on roads.
