Every Photo of the 2019 Bentley Bentayga Speed

The Editors

<p>Shrug at the Bentley Bentayga Speed for not hitting 200 mph as a 12-cylinder truck ought to in 2019. Cracking that mark in a nearly three-ton SUV, when it comes, will be as miraculous for a series-production SUV as it was for the Ferrari F40 in 1987. For now, we settle for 190 mph, a 3-mph bump from the <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.caranddriver.com/bentley/bentayga" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Bentayga's;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Bentayga's</a> base trim.</p>

<p>That it equals and does not exceed the current record holder, the genealogically similar Lamborghini Urus, is no coincidence.</p>

<p>But Bentley's Speed treatments aren't exactly on the Hennessey level, with only a 26-hp bump (to 626 horsepower) and the same 664 lb-ft of torque from the twin-turbo 6.0-liter W-12.</p>

<p>That's monstrous, yet not enough to outgun the company's <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.caranddriver.com/bentley/mulsanne-speed" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Mulsanne Speed;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Mulsanne Speed</a> (190 mph), <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a15346192/202-mph-spur-new-flying-spur-w12-s-is-fastest-bentley-sedan-ever/" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Flying Spur W12 S;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Flying Spur W12 S</a> (202 mph), or <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.caranddriver.com/bentley/continental-gt" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Continental GT;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Continental GT </a>(207 mph).</p>

<p>Because wineries and castles tend not to pave their driveways, the Bentayga Speed's body-color front splitter, sills, and rear bumper don't impede much on ground clearance.</p>

<p>The air suspension and active anti-roll bars take a firmer tune, along with a remapped Sport mode with more aggressive throttle and transmission response.</p>

<p>Louder cold starts and guttural downshift blats help wake the W-12's exhaust from its subwoofer-grade slumber.</p>

<p>Inside, diamond-quilted seats and other Mulliner-spec materials join the lavish surroundings.</p>

<p>Bentley swaps out leather in certain areas, such as the steering-wheel rim, for faux suede and carbon fiber instead of book-matched wood.</p>

<p>More contrasting leather adorns the door trim, seat edges, and center stack.</p>

<p>But the Bentayga in these photos is just a sample. Buyers can basically order whatever they want.</p>

<p>The Bentayga Speed will make its debut in March at the Geneva auto show.</p>

<p>The <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a23300134/ferrari-hybrid-crossover-confirmed/" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Ferrari Purosangue;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Ferrari Purosangue </a>won't until 2022, but when it does, expect a certain milestone will be met.</p>

<p>Bentley's carbon-ceramic brakes, shared with the Urus, at 17.3 inches are claimed to be the largest front rotors fitted to a production car.</p>

<p>Despite the Bentayga's locomotive curb weight, they're optional. When ordered, they fit snugly behind the Speed's unique 22-inch rims.</p>

<p>Dark-tinted headlights, grille, and a rear spoiler bordering on that of the Honda Civic Type R come standard.</p>

Still, it's the fastest 12-cylinder SUV anywhere.
