Bentley Bentayga Speed Sets Hillclimb Record At Goodwood Festival Of Speed

The Goodwood Festival of Speed has finally started and proves to be a credible ground for automakers to showcase their prowess. Keeping up with the spirit of the festival, Bentley has registered the Bentayga Speed as the fastest ICE-powered SUV in Goodwood Festival of Speed history. Bentley's new performance flagship of the Bentayga line-up completes a hill run in record time, despite wet conditions.

The Bentayga Speed completed the Goodwood Hill run in 55.8 seconds, officially becoming the fastest ICE-powered production SUV ever. This record time beats that of the W12-powered Bentayga Speed, which was set in the dry by almost a second, whereas the new Bentayga Speed had to deal with wet conditions due to a pre-race shower. Andy Marson, Bentley's vehicle dynamics specialist, drove the car to the limits and pushed it to break the record.
