Bentley Bentayga Speed Debuts as the Most Powerful V8 Yet

Bentley has replaced its W-12 engine in the Bentayga Speed with a smaller 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, resulting in increased horsepower (641 hp), lighter weight, faster acceleration (0-62 mph in 3.4 seconds), and a higher top speed of 193 mph. The update includes subtle styling tweaks, improved driving dynamics with rear-wheel steering, and optional performance features like carbon-ceramic brakes and a sport exhaust. Despite losing the W-12, Bentley maintains its luxury and performance appeal, with future models expected to shift entirely to electric power.
