Bentley will have its biggest ever presence at the Festival of Speed in 2026

At the heart of it all is a huge two-storey, 500-square-metre hospitality hub, where even the transport will be suitably Bentley with a chauffeur-driven fleet of 20 cars on hand.

The stand promises plenty of theatre before a wheel is even turned. Mulliner will showcase three dazzling ‘Design Theme by Mulliner’ finishes, each of which required 56 hours of hand-painting at Crewe to blend two colours into one seamless design.

Leading the display is the new Supersports, wearing a dramatic Dragon Red to Black Crystal gradient. It will be joined by a Continental GTC Speed fading from Electric Blue into Dark Sapphire, plus a Bentayga Speed with a contemporary alternative: Pale Brodgar to Brodgar on the exterior, complemented with Camel and Beluga inside the cabin

From showroom sparkle to action on the Hill, Bentley’s modern supercar trio will take on the famous 1.16-mile course, including the UK dynamic debut of the wild Supersports ‘Pymkhana’ car, recently pushed to its limits by extreme sports legend Travis Pastrana.

It will appear alongside a Continental GTC Speed in vivid Violette and the driver-focused Continental GT S in Spark Blue. With a High-Performance Hybrid powertrain producing 680PS (500kW) and 930 Nm, the GT S can sprint from 0-60mph in just 3.3 seconds.

Over in the First Glance Paddock, the all-new Bentayga EWB Artenara in Granite will add another hit of presence with its striking Mulliner Diamond Grille. It will be joined by the flagship Flying Spur S in Dark Teal — a sleek four-door model that brings single front headlamps back to a Bentley sedan for the first time since 1962. With the same 680PS hybrid punch, it’s set to be every bit as exciting as it is elegant.

Of course, no Bentley celebration would be complete without a nod to the past. Taking to the Hill is ‘Smoky’, is one of only 18 original 1926 Super Sports ever produced and is powered by the legendary 4.5-litre engine that helped Bentley to Le Mans glory in 1928.

And if you haven’t yet had your fill, Bentley’s Blower Car Zero will also thunder up the Hill throughout the event. As the engineering prototype behind the Mulliner Blower Continuation Series, it is part time machine, part mechanical masterpiece — and for a lucky few it will deliver a passenger ride to remember.

Big hospitality, bold colours, hybrid firepower and vintage racing soul: Bentley’s 2026 Festival of Speed line-up looks set to make quite an impact.
