Bentley Motors has unveiled a new chapter in its story of sustainable luxury with the Flying Spur Hybrid, now arriving in Manila. This model marks a pivotal moment in Bentley’s Beyond100 strategy, merging the brand’s iconic opulence with a forward-thinking approach to environmental responsibility.
The Flying Spur Hybrid is powered by a sophisticated 2.9-litre V6 petrol engine, complemented by an advanced electric motor. Together, they produce a potent 536 bhp (544 PS) and 750 Nm (553 lb.ft) of torque. This impressive output not only makes the Flying Spur Hybrid the most efficient Bentley ever but also provides a significant boost of 95 bhp over the Bentayga Hybrid. With a combined driving range of over 700 km and an expected all-electric range of more than 40 km (EU WLTP), this sedan promises both performance and eco-consciousness.
Acceleration is equally impressive, with the Flying Spur Hybrid sprinting from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 4.1 seconds (0-100 km/h in 4.3 seconds). Despite its focus on efficiency, the driving experience remains quintessentially Bentley—powerful, smooth, and refined.
Advanced Features for the Modern Driver
Inside, the Flying Spur Hybrid is a showcase of Bentley’s commitment to integrating cutting-edge technology with luxurious comfort. This connectivity ensures real-time updates on battery status, vehicle performance, and climate control.
A new E Modes control system allows drivers to select from EV Drive, Hybrid Mode, and Hold Mode. EV Drive prioritizes electric-only propulsion for city driving and short trips. Hybrid Mode optimizes overall efficiency using navigation data, while Hold Mode conserves battery charge for later use. This versatility is complemented by real-time feedback on energy flow and range, visible on the heads-up display, infotainment screen, and instrument cluster.
Commitment to Environmental Excellence
The Flying Spur Hybrid’s powertrain combines a high-performance 2.9-litre V6 engine with an innovative electric motor, achieving a balance between exhilarating performance and reduced emissions. The engine’s design features twin turbochargers and centrally positioned fuel injectors to enhance combustion efficiency, while the E-Motor delivers instantaneous torque for smooth acceleration. The 18.0 kWh lithium-ion battery can be charged to full capacity in as little as two and a half hours, depending on the region.
Award-Winning Prestige
Bentley’s commitment to excellence is further validated by recent accolades. The Flying Spur Speed earned the title of Best Sedan at the 2024 Robb Report ‘Best of the Best’ awards, celebrated for its extraordinary blend of athleticism and refinement. This recognition underscores the Flying Spur Speed’s status as the most dynamic member of Bentley’s Grand Tourer family. As Bentley’s CEO and President of Bentley Americas, Mike Rocco, noted, “We are honoured that our iconic, powerful engine has been recognized by Robb Report, complementing the two core pillars to our brand in the performance of the Flying Spur Speed…”
Bespoke Luxury
The Flying Spur Hybrid offers an array of customization options, including over 67 additional colors through the extended paint range. Optional features like the Blackline Specification replace traditional brightwork with sleek black accents, while wheel choices range from 21” to 22” in various finishes. The interior reflects Bentley’s signature luxury, with options for 15 hide colors and two duo-tone configurations. Each detail, from the plush seats to the meticulously crafted cabin elements, exemplifies Bentley’s dedication to superior craftsmanship.
Manufactured at Bentley’s Crewe facility—the world’s first carbon-neutral factory for luxury car production—the Flying Spur Hybrid embodies Bentley’s vision of a future where luxury and sustainability go hand in hand. As it makes its debut in Manila, this model sets a new benchmark for ultra-luxury sedans, combining impressive performance with a commitment to environmental stewardship. Bentley continues to lead the way in creating vehicles that are both extraordinary and responsible.
