Performance-focused showcase for Bentley at Goodwood Speedweek

Bentley takes part in Goodwood SpeedWeek with a showcase of performance-inspired models that together represent the sporting ethos of the brand.

The Flying Spur V8 is the first car to be showcased and offers a more driver-centric experience via increased agility and a more characterful engine note, whilst benefiting from increased range between fuel stops and a reduction in CO₂ emissions.

The Flying Spur V8 is 100kg lighter than the W12 version, making the vehicle feel more agile and responsive with a distinctive personality of its own.

The new model includes the latest powertrain and chassis advancements, as well as Bentley's pioneering 48V electric active anti-roll technology (Bentley Dynamic Ride), and Electronic All-Wheel Steering for even greater agility.

At the heart of the Flying Spur V8 is Bentley's 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which produces a peak output of 542bhp, and uses twin-scroll turbochargers to reach its maximum torque of 770Nm at just under 2,000rpm.

The new Bentayga Speed will also be on display at Goodwood. The car takes the Bentayga's extraordinary abilities to new levels, utilising the 6.0-litre W12 twin-turbocharged engine that delivers peak power of 626bhp. Effortless acceleration is always guaranteed thanks to 900Nm of torque, available as a plateau from 1,500rpm to 5,000rpm.

Maximum speed of the vehicle is 306km/h, while the zero to 100 km/h sprint is delivered in 3.9 seconds.

Finally, the third generation Bentley Continental GT will also be featured, combining spirited, focused performance with handcrafted luxury and cutting-edge technology to create the finest Grand Tourer ever produced.

The muscular exterior design, created using revolutionary technology, results in a lightweight, yet stiff, body. The engine is positioned further back to improve weight distribution, resulting in driver-focused, dynamic performance.
