Bentley has made waves in the automotive world by announcing the 2025 Flying Spur, their most powerful sedan yet. Known for combining luxury, performance, and craftsmanship, Bentley has raised the bar with this stunning vehicle. Whether you're a car enthusiast or love high-performance vehicles with hybrid technology, the 2025 Flying Spur stands out. Get ready for something extraordinary on wheels!

A New Hybrid Powerhouse

The standout feature of the 2025 Flying Spur is its new hybrid V-8 engine, which replaces the iconic W-12. While some may miss the W-12, the new 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 paired with a 25.9 kWh battery delivers plenty of thrills. It produces 771 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque, marking an 11% increasein power compared to the W-12.

Thanks to this impressive setup, the Flying Spur can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds, making it one of the quickest sedans on the market. For comparison, the previous W-12 model took 3.7 seconds to reach the same speed. This leap in performance shows Bentley's dedication to staying ahead in automotive innovation, even as emissions regulations tighten and the industry shifts towards electrification.

Hybrid Technology for Maximum Efficiency

The hybrid setup of the Flying Spur isn't only about speed; it's also about efficiency. Thanks to its battery pack, this car offers 47 miles of electric-only driving range (based on the EU cycle), reaching up to 87 mph while driving on pure electricity alone - ideal for city driving or emission-free cruising. Furthermore, combined with its gas engine and electric motor power sources, it has a total driving range of 515 miles, freeing you from frequent fuel stops on long trips.

The car features four driving modes to optimize energy use:

• Pure EV for full electric driving.
• Electric Boost for enhanced acceleration.
• Regenerative Braking to capture energy while slowing down.
• Charge Mode, which uses the gasoline engine to recharge the battery while driving.

Charging the battery with a Level 2 charger takes around two hours and 45 minutes, giving drivers plenty of flexibility when planning trips.

Design That Stands the Test of Time

The 2025 Flying Spur may look similar to its predecessor, but Bentley has implemented subtle yet effective design updates. Bentley's signature "rounded headlights" remain and now feature a "Speed-specific grille", adding boldness and aggression to its front end. Furthermore, its front bumper has been modified with larger vents, giving the car an athletic and precise stance.

Bentley further boosts the Flying Spur's aesthetics with their Styling Specification aero package, available as carbon fibre or painted to match body colour for enhanced aerodynamic performance. Furthermore, 101 exterior colours to choose from span its rich history, making personalization possibilities nearly limitless.

A Luxurious Interior Packed with Tech

Step inside the Flying Spur, and you’re greeted by an interior that’s both luxurious and technologically advanced. The cabin features a new digital instrument cluster and a central touchscreen that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Bentley has also added over-the-air updates, ensuring the car’s software stays up-to-date without the need for a dealership visit. The new My Bentley App Studio lets owners download third-party apps for music, navigation, and entertainment, keeping the experience fresh and customizable.

Standard in the Flying Spur is a 10-speaker, 650-watt audio system, which can be upgraded to a 16-speaker, 1,500-watt Bang & Olufsen system or an even more impressive 19-speaker, 2,200-watt system with Active Bass Transducers built into the front seats. The sound experience in the Flying Spur is nothing short of exceptional.

Additionally, the use of laminated glass for the windshield and windows ensures a quieter cabin, reducing noise levels by nine decibels compared to the previous model. This makes for a serene, luxurious experience that’s perfect for long drives or moments of quiet relaxation.
