With the Bentley Flying Spur Hybrid, the British brand demonstrates that neither luxury nor good taste are at odds with sustainability.

The origin of this Bentley dates back to 1952. The result of the joint work of designer JP Blatchley and engineer Ivan Evernde, the first Flying Spur mounted a 4.9-liter inline six-cylinder engine with 180 hp that would be replaced in 1959 by a 6,320 V8 DC.

The Flying Spur Hybrid is the plug-in hybrid version of the third generation Bentley Flying Spur. It differs from the combustion model by the Hybrid logo and the standard 21-inch wheels (22-inch wheels with exclusive Molliner design can be chosen as an option). The headlights are LED.

The car combines a 2.9-litre V6 petrol engine with a 544bhp electric motor that delivers maximum torque of 750Nm. With this mechanics, the new Flying Spur becomes the most efficient Bentley of all time with a total range of 700 km.

All this without sacrificing the features that allow it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds. From there you can keep accelerating until you reach a top speed of 285 km/h.

The driver can choose between three driving modes: EV, Hybrid and Hold on. From one mode to another it is passed with the push of a button.

• EV mode is activated by default at the moment the engine starts. It is the indicated option for driving in the city and for shorter trips.
• Hybrid: Maximizes the vehicle's efficiency and range using data from the Intelligent Navigation System. This is the proper driving mode for longer trips. As you enter a destination, the Bentley Flying Spur Hybrid automatically activates the correct drive mode for each part of the journey, constantly calculating the most efficient use of battery charge.
• Hold on: Balances motor and electrical power to maintain battery charge for later use.

Storing the energy it needs to function in electric mode is handled by a 14.1 KWh battery that recharges to one hundred percent in just two and a half hours.
