With a massive new display and more than 30 cars on-site, Bentley goes all-in at Goodwood.
Bentley Motors has long since been a staple symbol of British luxury and performance, with its roots deeply planted in U.K. soil. Events like the Goodwood Festival of Speed feel less like an appearance and more like a homecoming for Bentley, celebrating its legacy in engineering, design, and motorsport that continues to fuel national pride across generations of collectors and motoring enthusiasts.
This year, Bentley arrived to the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed with something to prove. The manufacturer rolled in with its largest event display to date, anchored by a new two-story stand and a fleet of more than 30 cars. Among the highlights was the UK debut of the newly updated Bentayga Speed, which took to the hill alongside the coachbuilt Batur Convertible. Five of Bentley’s latest models made runs up the hillclimb, while others acted as course cars or chauffeured VIPs. The display itself featured hands-on craftsmanship demonstrations, boutique gear, and a rotating lineup of top-tier examples for visitors.
Bentley’s presence at the event feels more like a celebration of where the marque is today, bridging its ultra-luxury heritage and pursuit for performance. The new Bentayga Speed takes center stage among the First Glance cars, while a handful of Speed-series models, including the Continental GT and Flying Spur, showed off newer styling tweaks and upgrades like Akrapovič exhausts and satin-finish paint. The lineup also included a Storm Grey Bentayga S with a paint job that reportedly took over 50 hours to hand-finish.
Of course, it wouldn’t be Goodwood without some flair, and Bentley delivered with the return of the Bacalar and a surprise cameo by the rarely seen Speed Six Continuation Series. Even more of an example of Bentley’s well-rounded DNA is the Bentayga Black Edition doubling as a course car, fresh off chauffeuring Black Sabbath to their last show. It’s all part of Bentley’s ongoing balancing act of modern luxury, old-world craftsmanship, and enough horsepower to make some noise.
