Similar to the Continental GT, the new Bentley Flying Spur is also equipped with a PHEV system, featuring a 4.0L V8 gasoline engine paired with an electric motor.
Facing stricter emission regulations, large engines such as the W16, V12, and W12 are gradually disappearing from new offerings by sports car manufacturers like BMW M, Mercedes-AMG, Lamborghini, and Porsche. These are being replaced by smaller-displacement engines combined with hybrid systems to achieve higher performance while reducing emissions.
Recently, Bentley unveiled the new Flying Spur. The British marque announced that this luxury sedan would adopt a 4.0L V8 hybrid system, replacing the W12 engine found in the previous generation.

While Bentley did not disclose detailed engine specifications for the new Flying Spur, they revealed that it would be their most powerful sedan to date. Considering their current lineup, the Flying Spur’s hybrid system is likely similar to the recently unveiled Continental GT, boasting 782 horsepower and 1,000 Nm of torque. It is also expected to feature a 25.9 kWh battery pack, offering an all-electric range of approximately 72 kilometers. Despite being 192 kilograms heavier than its predecessor, the Continental GT can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 335 km/h.
