Bentley Unleashes 2025 Flying Spur: A Hybrid Marvel
Bentley has introduced the fourth generation of its flagship limousine, the 2025 Flying Spur, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s evolution. Designed to offer both unparalleled luxury and groundbreaking performance, this edition boasts a new V8 hybrid engine that cements its status as the most powerful four-door vehicle Bentley has ever produced.
Iconic Design with Modern Flair
While the Flying Spur retains its hallmark aesthetic, Bentley has refined its design details to maintain its iconic status. The imposing grille and signature oval LED headlamps create a distinct front profile, while the rear is accentuated by LEDs shaped like the ‘Flying B,’ ensuring a cohesive and elegant appearance.
Premium Interiors with Cutting-Edge Technology
Stepping inside the new Flying Spur is like entering a sanctuary of luxury. The plush and exquisite interior receives notable tech upgrades, enhancing comfort and convenience. The optional Wellness Seating Specification, now available for all four seats, features Seat Auto Climate and Postural Adjust to ensure optimal body temperature through zoned heating and ventilation. Additionally, the air conditioning system now incorporates air ionisers, a state-of-the-art particulate matter filter, and displays indicating air quality both inside and outside the vehicle. Improvements have also been made to wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, ensuring seamless integration with modern mobile devices.
Performance: Power and Efficiency Combined
Under the hood, the Flying Spur is powered by a groundbreaking 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 hybrid engine paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. This powerhouse setup generates an impressive 771 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque, delivering 19% more power and 11% more torque than its predecessor, the W12 version.
The hybrid system allows the Flying Spur to operate in pure EV mode, thanks to an electric motor that produces 187 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque. A 25.9 kWh battery offers a respectable range of 47 miles, adding an environmentally friendly dimension to this luxury performance sedan.
Advanced Driving Dynamics
The Flying Spur Speed variant now comes standard with Bentley Performance Active Chassis, which includes Bentley Dynamic Ride and all-wheel steering. This advanced system also features an electronically controlled limited-slip differential and twin-valve dampers all around, ensuring a smooth and responsive driving experience.
Conclusion
The 2025 Bentley Flying Spur represents the next frontier in luxury automotive engineering, blending timeless design with state-of-the-art technology and performance. By integrating a powerful V8 hybrid engine and a suite of modern features, Bentley has successfully redefined luxury travel for the modern age.
