Bentley Teases New Bentayga Performance Variant with a Drift Mode
Bentley is teasing a new variant of the Bentayga SUV, and we think it's a successor to the W-12-powered Bentayga Speed that was last sold in 2023. Bentley says this new SUV model will have a nonhybrid twin-turbocharged V-8 that makes more power than the old W-12's 626 ponies. A new dynamic stability-control mode will allow the Bentayga to drift, while a special sports exhaust should emit a raucous engine note. The Bentley Bentayga is known for large-displacement and potent engines, richly upholstered interiors, and an ostentatious design. What the British automaker's only SUV is not synonymous with is sliding sideways through a corner, with the rear tires spinning up a cloud of smoke. But Bentley is teasing a new performance-focused variant of the Bentayga, set to be revealed on Monday, June 2, that promises to be capable of performing dramatic drifts. Bentley didn't provide a name for this new Bentayga model, but the luxury SUV has been without a Speed trim since the 2023 model year, so we wouldn't be surprised if this hi-po model carries that moniker. Bentley has revealed that this new version of the Bentayga will pack a twin-turbocharged, non-hybrid V-8 engine. Bentley says it will have more power than the W-12 engine found in the previous Bentayga Speed, further reinforcing the idea that this one is a new iteration of the Speed nameplate. Bentley The new V-8-powered Bentayga model is a replacement for the pre-refresh W-12-powered Bentayga Speed, seen here. That claim would mean the new Bentayga Speed will produce more than 626 horsepower. Currently, the Bentayga is only offered with a 443-hp hybrid powertrain consisting of a turbocharged V-6 and an electric motor, as well as a 542-hp twin-turbocharged V-8. This suggests the new model will have at least 85 more horses than the most potent Bentayga currently for sale. Interestingly, Bentley isn't slotting in the new 771-hp hybrid powertrain found in the latest Continental GT Speed and Flying Spur Speed into the Bentayga, at least not yet. Bentley divulged a few other details about this new Bentayga ahead of its unveiling. The SUV will pack a new sports exhaust with two elliptical tailpipes that protrude from the rear diffuser, as seen in the teaser photo. Bentley also said there will be a new ESC Dynamic (stability control) mode that will "permit exhilarating drift angles." That sounds promising, and we look forward to performing comedically lurid slides in the 5600-pound-plus behemoth. The latest Bentayga variant will be revealed at 7:30 a.m. ET on June 2.

Bentley's New Bentayga Will Have 'More Power' Than the W-12
Bentley already offers a smattering of engine options for the Bentayga SUVs, ranging from the base V-6 hybrid to the powerful V-8 Speed. But now, the British luxury car maker has another Bentayga on the horizon—and it promises to be even more potent than the previous W-12 model. Bentley is keeping most of the juicy details a secret, but the company does promise a V-8 engine with "more power" than the previous 12-cylinder Speed model, a standard sports exhaust, and even a new Sport calibration with a drift mode. That's right, a Bentley that drifts . The company also says that this new Bentayga will be "faster and more agile" than any Bentley SUV before it, as well as the "most emotional and engaging Bentayga to date." For reference, the Bentayga W-12 made 600 horsepower and could race to 60 miles per hour in 4.0 seconds flat before it was discontinued last year. Of course, we've already seen Bentley's new V-8 hybrid powertrain in the metal, which makes nearly 740 horsepower and returns up to 50 miles of electric range (WLTP). Last May, the company said that this new hybrid powertrain would 'define the future of Bentley"—so we assume this is what will be underhood of the upcoming Bentayga. But we won't know for sure until the new Bentayga debuts. Bentley will show its powerful new SUV on Monday, June 2, at 7:00 AM ET (12:30 BST). Mark your calendars.

Keke Palmer shares her top financial habit— ‘If I have $1 million in my pocket, my rent is going to be $1,500'
Palmer, a multi-hyphenate entertainer and personality in the limelight since she was a child, shares her philosophy on saving and frugality. Keke Palmer is letting us all know how she manages to keep her pockets lined with money and it's not what you think. Sure, she stays booked and busy—Palmer is an actor, podcaster, singer, author, etc.—but she also makes sure to live waaaaay beneath her means, a lesson she learned from her parents, according to CNBC. 'I live under my means. I think it's incredibly important. If I have $1 million in my pocket, my rent is going to be $1,500 — that's how underneath my means I'm talking. My car note is going to be $340. I don't need a [Bentley] Bentayga, I'll ride in a Lexus,' said Palmer. Now, living beneath her means is one thing, but she needs to spill the tea on where she found a place to live for $1,500. I'm guessing she's probably a homeowner, several times over, but still, $1,500/month sounds beautiful. Either way, that lesson in saving and being responsible with money is an important one. Palmer has been in the public eye making money for years and if there's one story we've heard over and over, it's that of a young Hollywood darling who ends up broke after the opportunities dry up and money mismanagement comes into play. That doesn't seem to be Palmer's problem, though, another lesson she picked up from her parents. 'I learned from my parents very early on because they knew their limitations with money and finances. I believe in saving and frugality … I don't play around with that,' shared the 31-year-old actor who taught us all how to spell 'pulchritude' in her breakthrough role as Akeelah Anderson in 2006's 'Akeelah and the Bee.' She also shares her money with her parents in a nod to all of the sacrifices they made for her to become who she is today. 'My dad gave up his pension for me to have an opportunity for my dreams. My mom gave up everything so she could travel with me. What's mine is theirs and what's theirs is mine … I would sacrifice 20 more years of my life working in this industry so that I can provide and we can have the business we have today.' While the old rules of thumb for saving and expenses aren't quite holding up how they used to — the 50/30/20 rule; 50 percent for household expenses, 30 percent for saving, and 20 percent for living — Palmer's methodology of living below her means would likely work for everybody, which means learning and reading up about how to save based on where you are in life and where you want to go…another lesson Palmer said she got right at home. 'Be curious about that kind of stuff, because you don't want to do things based off of survival. You want to do them out of choice. That's something that my mom and my dad taught me very early on.'
