2025 Bentley Flying Spur: Bentley’s Most Powerful 4-Door with Hybrid V8

Bentley has revealed the 2025 Flying Spur with a hybrid V8 replacing its legendary V-12. While there are not many changes in the exterior of the luxury car, it is completely updated on the powertrain front. This powertrain has made it the most powerful 4-door Bentley ever produced. 

Powertrain of 2025 Flying Spur

Under the hood of the new Flying Spur is a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 that is supported by a hybrid setup. The combined output of the powertrain stands at 771 Bhp and 1,000 Nm of torque. This means there is a 19% surge in the power along with 11% more torque. It is mated with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Bentley claims it can sprint to 100 kmph from a dead stop in 3.5 seconds. The electric support is achieved through a 5.9kWh battery that can help it reach speeds of up to 140 kmph and also get an electric-only range of 76 km. This battery can be juiced up at 11kW in a span of 3 hours. The four battery-specific drive modes allow you to get the most out of that electrification: Pure EV, Electric Boost, Regenerative Braking, and Charge.
