Bentley's largest-ever Festival of Speed line-up brings the new Continental GT S, Flying Spur S, Bentayga Artenara and updated Supersports — plus the original 1926 Super Sports Smoky.
Bentley has announced its largest-ever appearance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. According to the company, more than 35 cars from the brand will be on show, including the new Continental GT S, Flying Spur S, Bentayga Artenara and the updated Supersports.
The central theme of the display is the link between the old and new Bentley Supersports. Taking to the famous Hillclimb is the original 1926 Super Sports nicknamed Smoky — one of just 18 cars built, later fitted with a 4.5-litre engine. Alongside it, the brand will show the modern 2026 Supersports, including the FULL SEND version tied to a Gymkhana-style promo film with Travis Pastrana.
Bentley has placed particular emphasis on the Mulliner Ombré finish. The stand will feature cars in a gradient paint where two colours blend seamlessly into one another. According to the company, the finish takes around 56 hours of hand work at the Crewe factory. For Bentley, it is not merely a decorative trick but a way to underline the exclusivity of its pricier versions.
The most significant technical news concerns the Continental GT S and Flying Spur S. Both models gain the High Performance Hybrid powertrain with 680 hp and 930 Nm. The Continental GT S is quoted at 0–100 km/h in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of about 307 km/h. The Flying Spur S is the most powerful Flying Spur to date, gaining an active chassis as well as an electronic limited-slip differential.
