The heart of the new prototype is the hybrid powertrain of the Juke series version. This consists of a state-of-the-art Nissan combustion engine of the latest generation, which has been specially developed for use in a hybrid system. It produces 69 kW/94 hp and has a torque of 148 Nm. The supporting electric motor produces 36 kW/49 hp and develops 205 Nm of torque. In addition, there is a 15 kW high-voltage starter generator and a water-cooled 1.2 kWh battery. As a result, the powertrain generates 25 percent more power than the Juke's current gasoline engine, with fuel consumption reduced by around 40 percent in city driving and up to 20 percent in combined driving (figures subject to homologation).

The new Bentayga Speed is the most powerful, most dynamic and most exhilarating Bentley SUV yet. It eclipses even its acclaimed W12-engined predecessor, delivering increased power and performance along with the most dynamic chassis set-up ever offered on a Bentayga – including, for the first time, the ability to generate on-throttle slip angles in Bentley’s pinnacle performance SUV. At its heart is a new twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 engine that produces 650 PS and 850 Nm of torque. This new powertrain is capable of accelerating Bentley’s SUV performance flagship from 0-62 mph in just 3.4 seconds and delivers a top speed of 193mph (310km/h)*. The new Bentayga Speed also features significant advances in dynamic capability – with an enhanced SPORT chassis mode and a new ESC Dynamic setting that brings maximum driver involvement and the choice between enhanced road-holding or the ability to slide the car on-power. The new chassis set up and powerful engine confirm the Bentayga Speed’s position as a new performance pinnacle for the luxury SUV.
