CREWE (July 2, 2026) – Bentley is set to return to the Goodwood Festival of Speed, bringing the brand’s largest presence yet to the iconic event. More than 35 Bentleys will represent the marque across the four-day celebration. The latest models from across the Bentley lineup will take on the famous hill climb, while others will be showcased exclusively at the Bentley display.

The two-story Bentley stand and hospitality space spans a 500-square-meter footprint. With a 20 percent increase in invitations over last year, the space will allow nearly 500 customers, media guests, and VIPs to enjoy the festivities with unobstructed views of the action. As part of the hospitality program, a fleet of 20 chauffeur-driven cars will manage the trackside movements of every guest throughout the event.

Pinnacle “Design Theme by Mulliner” and Ombré Paint Finishes
On the stand, the public can interact with three of Bentley’s newest models. These vehicles showcase innovative paint techniques through three distinct ombré finishes. Each finish seamlessly blends two colors, applied with precision over 56 hours by Bentley’s skilled craftspeople at the Dream Factory in Crewe.

The pinnacle “Design Theme by Mulliner” specification is featured exclusively on the new Supersports in Dragon Red to Black Crystal—the boldest and most exclusive specification available to customers. As the first exterior paint fade to extend from side to side on a Bentley, it emphasizes the driver-focused nature of the Supersports. The vibrant highlight color defines the driver’s side and blends seamlessly across the body into a darker tone on the passenger side. A single off-center highlight stripe runs from front to rear, aligning perfectly with the passenger seat. Regardless of left- or right-hand drive, the theme always centers around the driver, reinforcing the exclusivity of this bespoke option.

The first “Ombré by Mulliner” paint fade collection debuted during Monterey Car Week in 2025, featuring three distinct color combinations: Sunburst Gold into Orange Flame, Topaz into Windsor Blue, and Tungsten into Onyx. The GTC S on the Goodwood stand this year features this bespoke option, showcasing a front-to-rear paint fade in the exclusive Tungsten to Onyx color scheme, complemented by a matching tri-tone interior in White, Beluga, and Gravity Grey leather.

In another Bentley first, the “Ombré by Mulliner” option takes customization a step further with a vertical paint fade. This new technique is applied in Chestnut to Onyx on the displayed Bentayga Speed, meaning every single panel features a bespoke, hand-painted color gradient. Available through Mulliner, this exclusive finish on the Bentayga Speed is paired with body-colored roof rails and carbon fiber exterior elements, including the rear diffuser, side skirts, and spoiler.

With all three Ombré paint finishes now available to order, Mulliner specialists will be on-site during the festival to share insights into the technical skill and mastery required to achieve these world-class finishes.

On the Goodwood Hill
The Supersports makes its UK dynamic debut in the form of Bentley’s own “Pymkhana” car. This is the very vehicle driven by motorsports and extreme sports athlete Travis Pastrana in a Gymkhana-style film released earlier this year, where the legendary stunt performer took the new Supersports on a high-octane tour around the Bentley campus.

The Supersports: FULL SEND car will be stationed in the Supercar Paddock alongside a Continental GTC Speed in a dazzling Violette paint finish, which features a bespoke interior in Linen, Tanzanite Purple leather, and stone veneer. The new, driver-focused Continental GT S in Spark Blue completes Bentley’s supercar trio. This new two-door derivative extracts 680 PS and 930 Nm of torque from its High Performance Hybrid powertrain, delivering 130 PS more than the previous-generation GT S. To complement the power drop, the new chassis setup features the Bentley Active Performance Chassis shared with the GT Speed and GT Mulliner models. This setup helps the GT S launch from 0–60 mph in just 3.3 seconds (0–100 km/h in 3.5 seconds) on its way to a top speed of 191 mph.

In the First Glance paddock, the all-new Bentayga EWB Artenara in Granite and the new Flying Spur S in Dark Teal will be tackling the course. The Bentayga Artenara introduces distinctive Mulliner styling specifications to the extended wheelbase SUV, including the Mulliner Diamond Grille and tri-color interior options. Meanwhile, the new Flying Spur S now comes standard with Bentley’s Performance Active Chassis, bringing sharper handling and greater driving thrills to the brand’s flagship four-door sedan. The exterior design also reintroduces single front headlamps to a Bentley sedan for the first time since 1962. As the most powerful version to date, the latest Flying Spur S delivers 680 PS and 930 Nm—nearly 20 percent more than its predecessor—and includes an electronic limited-slip differential (eLSD).

The Supercar and First Glance vehicles will be driven up the hill by a team from Bentley’s in-house Vehicle Dynamics function, led by Head of Vehicle Dynamics Craig Nicolson.

Also ascending the famous 1.2-mile course as part of Batch 1 is an original 1926 Super Sports, affectionately known as “Smoky.” Running in celebration of 100 years of the Supersports name and matching Goodwood’s “Rivals” theme, this vehicle is car 12 of the original 18 produced. It is powered by a $4\frac{1}{2}$-liter engine—the exact same engine type that carried a Bentley $4\frac{1}{2}$ Litre to victory at Le Mans in 1928. Smoky was raced at Brooklands more than 40 times in the 1930s by Bentley legend Kitt Baker-Carr, frequently setting records and besting much larger, more powerful machinery like the Napier Railton. Graciously loaned to Bentley Motors for the summer by its devoted owner, the car will be stationed in the Brooklands paddock.

Finally, concluding each hill climb batch, Blower Car Zero—the prototype that preceded the highly exclusive run of 12 Mulliner Blower Continuation Series cars—will run the course, treating select Bentley guests to a unique passenger experience.
