Bentley Motors announced Friday it will showcase its latest model lineup and brand heritage at the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed in West Sussex, England.

The automaker is entering more than 35 vehicles in the event's hillclimb and exhibition programs. Bentley has also set up an exhibition space of about 500 square meters and is running a customer program that includes invitations for approximately 500 customers, media representatives and VIPs.

The Bentley Pavilion will display three of the brand's latest models for general visitors. Each vehicle features an ombré paint finish in which two colors blend seamlessly — the result of roughly 56 hours of work by skilled craftspeople at the Crewe Dream Factory.

The top-tier bespoke specification "Design Theme by Mulliner" is available exclusively on the new Super Sports. Also on display is a Continental GTC S finished in a front-to-rear ombré paint scheme transitioning from Tungsten to Onyx, alongside a Bentayga Speed featuring Bentley's first vertical color gradation, running from Chestnut to Onyx.

Bentley's latest performance models will take to the Goodwood hillclimb for dynamic runs. The new Super Sports will make its first dynamic appearance in Britain at this year's festival. Also joining the hillclimb is the "Gymkhana" vehicle driven by Travis Pastrana in the Full Send video released earlier this year.

The Gymkhana vehicle will be displayed in the Supercar Paddock, joined by the Continental GTC Speed and Continental GT S to complete Bentley's current performance lineup.

Bentley is also entering the 1926 original Super Sports "Smoky" — a symbol of the brand's heritage — in the hillclimb. To mark the centenary of the Super Sports, Smoky will run alongside the new model, highlighting 100 years of the nameplate's history. "Blower Car Zero" will also participate in the hillclimb and offer some customers the chance to ride along.

Meanwhile, Bentley has been expanding its customer touchpoints through a range of marketing activities, including a recent special event held in the Austrian Alps in partnership with FAT International to showcase the brand's heritage and future vision.
