Bentley's $37.5M Miami Penthouse Is a Car Collector's Sky-High Playground

Bentley's $37.5M Miami Penthouse Is a Car Collector's Sky-High Playground

Miami Herald4 hours ago

Bentley Residences Miami has today unveiled a two-storey penthouse on the 61st floor of its residential tower overlooking the Atlantic Ocean on Sunny Isles Beach where the lucky resident will be able to quite literally drive into the sky.
The $37.5 million luxury residence comes complete with a glass-enclosed garage in the living room and EV charging for up to seven vehicles, accessed via a private patented car elevator dubbed the Dezervator first seen in its neighbor the Porsche Design Tower and developed by Dezer Development.
The apartment is a blend of Bentley showroom and luxury beach villa with 22-foot ceilings, private indoor and outdoor pools, floor-to-ceiling windows, and enough space to house more cars than most people will own in a lifetime. There are four bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a powder room, and study.
The design boasts Art Deco vibes with beautifully carved walls to match Miami's architectural heritage, with optional interiors provided by Bentley Home featuring natural stone, crystal panels, quilted leather, handcrafter furniture and a floating staircase.
For gearheads that like to party, there's a summer kitchen, sunset terrace, entertainment loft plus a Gaggenau-equipped kitchen that probably costs more than your first sports car.
Venture downstairs and there's a whisky bar, cigar lounge, private cinema, golf simulator, wellness spa and even a pet spa.
When complete in 2028, the 62-story Bentley Residence will host 216 residences, and just two penthouses.
Bentley isn't the first, and likely won't be the last, to create condos catered to car collectors. The Porsche Design Tower debuted in 2017 and introduced the original car lift allowing for 2-4 cars to be parked up in each apartment. Bentley has taken this to a new level with up to 7 cars in a space that looks more art gallery than garage.

The 2025 Bentley Bentayga Speed Is Quicker Faster, Lighter and Way More Fun

Introduced in 2015, the Bentley Bentayga has remained a trendsetter in the ultra-luxury space. Now in its 10th year, Bentley offers the Bentayga in six models: the V8, Hybrid, S, Extended Wheelbase (EWB), the highly customizable Mulliner and, once again, the Speed. In those 10 years, the Bentayga has been powered by several variations of a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, a twin-turbocharged diesel V8, a plug-in hybrid with a turbocharged V6, and the mighty and mythical twin-turbo W12 engine. Yes, that was a 12-cylinder engine in an SUV. The keyword there is "was," as that motor was phased out in 2022, which left the future of the Bentayga Speed model up in the air. But for 2025, the Speed is back, but this time it utilizes a modified version of the turbocharged 4.0-liter found in other Bentayga models. Is it as fast? Is it as special? No W12? No problem You can go ahead and wrap up any lamentations over the loss of Bentley's turbocharged W12 engine. Sure, that engine was a poster child for exotic excess, but the fact is, Bentley — and more importantly, its customers — have moved on. In place of that wonderfully complex and unnecessary engine is the tried-and-true 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine found in other Bentleys. To ensure proper differentiation from the other versions of this engine, the Bentayga Speed's version has received a few choice upgrades.

The 2026 Bentley Bentayga Speed Is a Leather-Lined Gravel Machine Gun: Review

The Bentley Bentayga arrived ten years ago, if you can believe it. While the Bentayga arguably pioneered the ultra-luxe 'Ute segment, many have followed, pushing the form ever faster and more expensive. Now Rolls, Lambo, and *gasp* Ferrari have six-figure SUVs of their own, while the 'value' options from the likes of Porsche and Land Rover continue to push the performance and luxury envelopes. What is the pioneering Bentley to do in an arms race of diamond-paneled leather and twin-turbo V-8s? Quick Specs 2026 Bentley Bentayga Speed Engine Twin-Turbocharged 4.0-Liter V-8 Output 641 Horsepower / 627 Pound-Feet 0-62 MPH 3.4 Seconds Base Price € 225,882 (EU), US Pricing TBD Go faster, apparently. For 2026, Bentley applied its 'Speed' formula to the Bentayga SUV. That means a spicier engine, a set of trim-specific, dope-ass 23s, and even an (optional) Acrapovič titanium exhaust. Does building an even-faster Bentleytruck make for a better Bentleytruck? We tested Bentley's theorem on the rural highways north of Yellowstone and on a fast-gravel and light-duty off-road course encircling a Montana ranch. Photo by: Kyle Kinard / Motor1 Engine, Drivetrain, Horsepower: More Is Better The Speed trim brings the heat. An uprated version of the company's twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 delivers 641 horsepower and 627 pound-feet. That's good for 3.4 seconds to 60 miles per hour (according to Bentley) and the kind of assured locomotive acceleration that isn't exactly neck-snapping but will rocket you past the next county line on the back of a swelling wave of torque. Here's my favorite high-performance non-sequitur: The Bentayga speed goes 193 mph flat out. There's a great engine under this plastic... thingy. We promise. Photo by: Kyle Kinard / Motor1 Pros: Wall Of Torque, Stunning Interior Quality, Snarling Exhaust From the driver's seat, these remarkable performance figures feel just about right. With launch mode engaged (another Bentayga first), there's far less suspension squat than you'd expect, even in the fractional seconds when the car leaves the line and its 285/35/ZR23 Pirelli PZeros claw for grip. You don't hear a peep from the tires, the Bentayga just GOES. The Bentley's V-8 pairs to a ZF 8-speed auto with a Torsen center differential and an e-locking rear diff to mete out power across the Bentayga's permanent all-wheel drive. The truck rides on self-leveling air suspension with electric roll bars and double wishbones at each corner. Photo by: Kyle Kinard / Motor1 Cons: 23-Inch Wheels Risk Flats, Bad Value, Staid Looks Technology, Interior, Infotainment: It's Gorgeous What else could I state besides the obvious? It's a Bentley in this cabin, through and through. That means best-in-class materials paired to a stately and well-thought-out interior. However you spec the Bentayga Speed, you'll be impressed. And I imagine half the joy for owners is figuring out whether to go with Aubergine leather on leather on leather, or with a delightful avocado-green to contrast the car's conservative exterior. (The answer is always green). The Bentayga's infotainment suite works flawlessly, as you'd expect from a car in this price range. I found the UI across the 10.9-inch central touchscreen to function just fine. Nothing stuck out. Nothing frustrated me. Wireless and wired Apple CarPlay performed flawlessly. This little screen for rear passengers is neat. That is all. Photo by: Kyle Kinard / Motor1 This is just a sublime, easygoing place to spend time. If the exterior looks a bit more conservative, the Bentayga's interior really lets you know where that MSRP went. Of note, the NAIM speaker upgrade was bangin'. Because there's so little cell service in Montana canyons, the Bentley team preloaded a wired phone with epic soundtracks from modern westerns like 'Yellowstone' and cinema classics in the making like 'Interstellar.' With 1,780 watts, 17 channels, and 20 speakers total, the NAIM system and Hans Zimmer's strings made for an absolutely epic road trip. Photo by: Kyle Kinard / Motor1 Design: Grand But Not Grandiose The Bentayga isn't exactly marmite. Quite the opposite. I find the SUV stately enough but staid, capturing less of Bentley's typical grandeur than its stretched-out, broad-shouldered Continental and Flying Spur siblings. Something didn't quite translate when they raised Bentley's corporate design up on stilts with the early Bentaygas, and that trend continues here, even on the fastest and fastest-looking Bentley ute yet. This is a handsome and athletic-ish looking SUV, ultimately inoffensive, but not breathtaking. Whether you're after that low-key attitude when Lamborghini offers a competitor which looks like a Gundam humping a Huracan—Well that's a matter of personal taste. Photo by: Kyle Kinard / Motor1 That said, the Bentayga Speed's optional 23-inch wheels look the absolute business. We heard rumors about several flat tires delaying an earlier wave of drivers on public roads, but I witnessed just one (double) flat on the drive, and it occurred at speed on a closed-off-road course following an impact with a large rock. Draw your own conclusions, but I think an impact like that would rip the tire off any of Bentayga's competition, too. Beyond those wheels, which are exclusive to the Speed trim, there are a few bespoke exterior styling accents, but few worth mentioning. This mostly looks like a Bentayga rolling on dubs (plus another three inches). Please get your Bentayga Speed dirtier than this. Photo by: Kyle Kinard / Motor1 Driving Impressions: EEEHAWWWW As the Bentayga Speed sailed along a rolling dirt road in Montana country, I reflected on the early mornings waaaaay way back when I'd rally a '93 4Runner to work at the farm in Johnson, Washington. The biggest difference between memory and reality wasn't the price gap between an old Toyota and a new Bentley. It was the sound: You'll never drive a quieter vehicle at highway speeds down a gravel road. The Bentayga was peerless. Not a single rock audibly dinged off a wheel well or glanced off the side of the SUV's body with a ping. I've driven thousands of miles down dirt and gravel roads (including in press loaners) and never in something this quiet, composed, or ultimately civilized. Photo by: Kyle Kinard / Motor1 In that respect, this is some ultimate version of the SUV. In addition to the quiet, there's also growl. An optional titanium Acrapovič exhaust offers a sublime V-8 soundtrack for when you're gettin' it on a rural backroad. While other über-SUVmakers are content to move to V-6 powerplants, truly nothing sounds like an uncorked V-8, and Bentley lets this one sing. Amen. The color "green": good outside, and inside a Bentley. Photo by: Kyle Kinard / Motor1 Fuel Economy: About As Expected Bentley didn't provide efficiency figures as the Speed is 'Pending Type Approval' on the WLTP cycle in Europe, but the trip computer displayed 15.4 mpg during my day of driving generally like a civilized Soccer Dad through the little towns that punctuate the roads leading into Yellowstone, then driving like a lead-foot degenerate in the wide spaces between. We call that 'mixed' driving. Photo by: Kyle Kinard / Motor1 Pricing & Verdict: For Our Money, Less Is More The Speed rings in at €225,882 for the base MSRP. US pricing is TBD, as Bentley is in a holding pattern with imports at the moment . Expect more information in July 2025, when the tariff situation becomes clearer. On our 'Snow Quartz Pearlescent' test car, the paint rang in at €13,555, while the black painted wheels cost €10,370. The Acrapovič titanium exhaust will set you back €7,740 while the Naim audio system rings in at €7,355. These are not cheap options, but the options are innumerable, so if there's something you want on this Bentley, be assured. It's available. For a price. Just pay up for these damned speakers. NAIM rocks. Photo by: Kyle Kinard / Motor1 Overall, you can't fault the Bentley Speed with any real veracity. By upping its dynamic game and even creating a trim-specific traction-control setting so the Speed can step sideways on gravel roads, Bentley has built an SUV with a staggering breadth of ability and no shortage of amenities. For my money, I'd skip the Speed trim and spec the green leather and the good sound system. The slower Bentaygas are fast enough, equally luxurious, and generally a bit cheaper. If you need or want the extra performance only the Speed trim offers, then here's your answer. Just promise you'll drive it hard on dirt.
