Bentley’s Flying Spur sedan, also known as the ultimate four-door Grand Tourer, is being updated with a powerful new Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain, offering 782 PS (771 bhp). The new hybrid system, featuring a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine paired with an electric motor, will make the Flying Spur the most powerful, dynamic, and efficient four-door car in Bentley’s history. The new model is set to replace the one launched in 2019.
The powertrain was launched recently in Bentley’s new Continental GT Speed. It follows Bentley’s long-standing tradition of supplementing class-leading combustion engines with technology to increase performance. Due to the combination of the V8 engine and electric power, Bentley’s engineers have been able to deliver improved power and torque across the full rev range. This includes a vital boost from the electric motor for strong acceleration from low speeds and throughout the mid-range, combined with increased performance from the V8 engine at higher speeds as well.
The hybrid powertrain combines high performance with the ability to drive up to 45 miles on electric power alone, producing CO2 emissions below 40 g/km and offering a total range of over 500 miles. This marks a significant step forward for Bentley, blending traditional combustion engine power with modern electric technology for enhanced performance and efficiency.
