What makes the Bentley Bentayga Speed Russian Heritage Edition special
Each of the six cars is focusing on a different ballet motion. Each car features a different exterior finish combined with a bespoke interior. The first three units feature a duo-tone finish: Windsor Blue over Light Windsor Blue, Silver Storm over Damson, and Moonbeam over Moroccan Blue. The next three cars feature three very cool finishes: Damson, Spectre, and Magnolia.
As for the interior, two of the first duo-tone cars will be offered with a Twine and Imperial Blue leather combined with Liquid Amber Veneer, while the last one gets an Autumn and Damson leather combined with Koa Veneer. For the last three cars, the interior will be as follow: Autumn and Damson leather combined with Koa Veneer, Cashew and Burnt Oak leather combined with Dark Fiddleback Eucalyptus Veneer and Shortbread and Cricketball leather combined with Grand Black Veneer.
Next to the special combinations of paints and interior trims, all six cars will feature silhouettes of a performing ballet dancer as inlays to the front fascias matched by unique embroidery in each seat.
A few specific features will further distinguish this special Bentayga Speed from the rest of the lineup. It will get dark-tint headlights, body-colored side skirts, unique front and rear bumpers, and a striking, elongated tailgate spoiler. The radiator and the bumper grilles will feature the same dark tint, and each car will be offered with unique Russian Heritage LED welcome lighting. The car will ride on 22-inch wheels in a unique design.
Unfortunately, no changes were made under the hood, so the Bentayga Speed Russian Heritage Edition will be offered with the same 6.0-liter W-12 twin-turbocharged engine that delivers a total of 626 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. It goes from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds and top speed goes up to 190 mph.
