Bentley Flying Spur Hybrid review
With its imposing, coupe-like shape, the Flying Spur has long been one of the sturdiest and most handsome SUVs. The latest generation of this flagship Bentley adds a new level of sophistication and sophistication and makes the Flying Spur even more luxurious and refined than before. The Flying Spur Hybrid model results from Bentley’s partnership with German automaker Volkswagen Group. While the two were not immediately compatible, the result is a car that marries the best of both companies. The result is a car that matches the best of both companies, combining Bentley’s sporting pedigree with the latest in hybrid technology.

With the Flying Spur Hybrid, Bentley has managed to produce an undeniably classy and luxurious car that achieves impressive efficiency levels. Both powertrain and styling could not be bettered. The Flying Spur Hybrid boasts a 4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine paired with two electric motors (one at the front and one at the rear). This electrically powered setup produces 536 horsepower or 879 horsepower combined. The result is a car with a 0 to 60 mph time of just 4.4 seconds and can go on to a top speed of 170 mph. The entire hybrid system can also be operated manually for added thrust during acceleration or braking when you want more power than what the battery alone can provide in normal driving conditions.
Beyond its powerful yet efficient engine, the Flying Spur Hybrid also boasts impressive fuel economy. This model delivered 21 mpg in city driving and 25 mpg on highways while returning 51 mpg overall in combined driving modes in EPA testing. These figures are imposing since they are achieved while producing as much power as 2015’s flagship Mulsanne sedan but with a much smaller battery pack that crucially does not have to supply as much energy at any one time (two electric motors are shared between the two axles).
