Bentley Bentayga
The big news for 2026 is the Bentayga Speed, which drops Bentley’s signature W12 engine and adopts a twin-turbo V8. It’s the most powerful SUV in the history of the British luxury brand… and the first one capable of drifting on demand. This fancy rocket generates 641 horsepower and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in as little as 3.4 seconds, which is prodigious for a vehicle weighing over 2,600 kg. A hybrid variant of the Bentayga is alternatively available.
