Bentley has unveiled the fourth-generation Flying Spur, introducing an all-new Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain that sets a new standard in luxury performance sedans. With an astounding 782 PS and 1,000 Nm of torque, this hybrid transforms Bentley’s flagship into what is essentially a four-door supercar, blending opulence with cutting-edge technology and blistering speed. Boasting the most powerful powertrain ever fitted to a Bentley sedan, the new Flying Spur stands out not only for its performance but also for its environmental consideration, showcasing the brand’s commitment to responsible luxury.
A New Standard in Performance and Efficiency
The Flying Spur’s Ultra Performance Hybrid system combines a 600 PS 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine with a 190 PS electric motor, offering a combined total of 782 PS. This powertrain is a significant upgrade from its predecessor, producing 147 PS more than the outgoing model and achieving 0-60 mph in just 3.3 seconds. Not only does it rival some of the world’s fastest cars, but it does so while delivering an all-electric range of 47 miles (76 km) and CO2 emissions of just 33 g/km—an improvement of 90 percent over the previous Flying Spur Speed.
In terms of range, the new Flying Spur can cover up to 515 miles (829 km) between refuelling stops, making it ideal for long journeys. With Bentley Dynamic Ride, All-Wheel Steering, and a recalibrated chassis system, the Flying Spur combines high-performance with serene luxury, offering an unmatched driving experience in any mode—be it the quiet efficiency of electric-only or the exhilarating Sport mode.
Design and Technology: A Leap Forward
Though the Flying Spur maintains the familiar and elegant lines of its predecessor, the fourth generation introduces subtle yet distinctive enhancements. Exterior updates include a new grille, bumper, and diffuser, as well as a 22-inch wheel option and dark tint brightware for a more aggressive stance. Inside, Bentley has refined its already lavish cabin with details such as 3D diamond hide upholstery and Precision Diamond quilting on the seats, adding to the car’s tactile and visual allure.
At the heart of the Flying Spur’s transformation is an all-new electrical architecture, which allows the integration of the latest automotive technology. The new My Bentley App Studio is a key feature, enabling the seamless integration of popular apps directly into the infotainment system. This innovation reflects Bentley’s vision of creating a luxury experience where technology enhances convenience, safety, and wellness for both drivers and passengers.
Tailored for Every Driver
Personalisation has always been at the core of the Bentley experience, and the new Flying Spur is no exception. With over tens of billions of configuration possibilities, from the 101 available exterior paint colours to an array of leather combinations and veneer options, owners can create a bespoke masterpiece. Add to this the choice of three audio systems, including the 2,200 W Naim system with Active Bass Transducers integrated into the front seats, and the new Flying Spur is as much a feast for the ears as it is for the eyes.
Bentley’s dedication to passenger comfort is further evidenced by the Wellness Seating Specification, which offers advanced features like Postural Adjust and Seat Auto Climate to ensure every journey is as relaxing as it is thrilling.
A New Benchmark in Luxury Performance
The fourth-generation Flying Spur surpasses its predecessor, the W12-powered Flying Spur Speed, in every way. It delivers 11 percent more torque and 19 percent more power, making it Bentley’s most powerful sedan to date. This evolution not only sets new benchmarks for the brand but also marks a pivotal moment in the luxury performance segment, where speed, efficiency, and unparalleled craftsmanship converge.
With its superior technology, advanced hybrid powertrain, and endless customisation options, the new Flying Spur Ultra Performance Hybrid is the ultimate expression of modern luxury and driving exhilaration, embodying Bentley’s vision for the future.
