Bentley Bentayga Speed to Pack Around 650 HP

Although the Bentley Bentayga is already the most powerful SUV in production, even more ponies are coming to the high-end luxury model. 

Speaking with Auto Express, Bentley CEO Wolfgang Dürheimer confirmed that a Bentayga Speed model is coming, likely to arrive packing at least 650 horsepower.

Under the hood, all 650 hp will still come from a 6.0-liter W12 engine like in the standard model, tuned to increase output. In other Bentley Speed models, horsepower increases range from 25 hp to 66 hp, so a boost of 50 hp is right in the ball park.

These upgrades will surely make the big SUV capable of cracking its current 0 to 60 mph time of 4 seconds.

Pricing for the Speed model will likely increase by about $20,000, taking the price tag to around $250,000.
