All-new Bentley Flying Spur debuts with 771 hp hybrid V8 engine

The 2025 Flying Spur is the latest Bentley to feature its renowned ultra-high-performance hybrid powertrain, which combines a 591bhp twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine with a 187bhp electric motor between the eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and the engine. This configuration outperforms its W12-powered sibling, with a combined output of an astonishing 771bhp and 1,000Nm, making the new Flying Spur the most powerful Bentley sedan ever.

The four-door sedan is equipped with a 25.9kWh battery and has a pure electric range of 76 kilometers. But the combined range (V8 and electric motor) is 829 kilometers. In terms of performance, the car has an acceleration time of 0-100 km/h of 3.5 seconds, which is 0.3 seconds faster than the previous generation model.
