Bentley Motors has revealed the latest luxury milestone on its journey to electrification. The new Flying Spur Hybrid builds on the success of the third generation Flying Spur, using a highly innovative third powertrain that produces the most environmentally friendly Bentley to date. The debut of the Flying Spur Hybrid underscores Bentley’s dedication to its Beyond100 strategy to become an end-to-end carbon neutral organisation and the world’s leading sustainable luxury mobility company.
The newest addition to Bentley’s hybrid series confirms and showcases that hybridisation does not compromise when it comes to luxury or performance. With an imperceptible blend of the internal combustion engine and electric motor, pure tranquility is on offer regardless of driving mode or style.
With high power reserves, superior torque and quick throttle response, the latest hybrid model gives little away to the Flying Spur V8 in acceleration, passing 60 mph from a standstill in 4.1 seconds (0-100 km/h in 4.3 secs). The new powertrain achieves a meaningful reduction in fuel consumption whilst still providing the authentic Bentley character of smooth, elegant performance.
