Bentley has redefined luxury performance with the unveiling of the fourth-generation Flying Spur, now the most powerful four-door sedan in the brand’s illustrious history. This new model, branded as the Flying Spur Ultra Performance Hybrid, combines world-class craftsmanship with cutting-edge hybrid technology, resulting in a supercar that offers both breathtaking speed and remarkable environmental efficiency. It marks a major milestone, not just for Bentley, but for luxury sedans in general.

A Powerhouse on Four Wheels

At the heart of the new Flying Spur is an Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain that delivers an astounding 782 PS and 1,000 Nm of torque, making it the most powerful Bentley sedan ever built. This massive power comes from the combination of a 600 PS 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine paired with a 190 PS electric motor. Together, they launch the Flying Spur from 0-60 mph in a mere 3.3 seconds, with a top speed that rivals many of the world’s premier supercars. It's half a second quicker than its predecessor, the W12-powered Flying Spur Speed.

Bentley’s hybrid approach means this model isn’t just about raw power—it's also about efficiency. The Flying Spur has an electric-only range of 47 miles (76 km), ideal for urban drives or zero-emission zones. Coupled with significantly reduced CO2 emissions of 33 g/km, Bentley’s new creation manages to balance its blistering speed with impressive environmental responsibility.

Advanced Chassis for Superior Dynamics

The Flying Spur’s Performance Active Chassis elevates its driving dynamics. With Bentley’s Dynamic Ride system and All-Wheel Steering, drivers can expect a finely tuned balance between agility and comfort. The new Limited Slip Differential enhances control, while the ESC software allows for a range of driving styles, ensuring superior performance on any road. The twin-valve dampers further separate the ride qualities between Comfort, Bentley, and Sport modes, creating a driving experience that can shift from serene to exhilarating at the press of a button.

The chassis’ 48:52 rear-biased weight distribution ensures that this luxurious sedan doesn’t just look like a supercar but handles like one, too.

Exterior and Interior Refinement

The new Flying Spur retains its muscular yet elegant exterior, but subtle updates add a performance-oriented edge. A fresh grille, bumper, and rear diffuser enhance its aerodynamic look, while a new 22-inch wheel option and Graphite brightware give the car a modern, assertive stance. The LED Welcome Lamps that project Bentley’s wings logo on the ground add a touch of modern flair.

Inside, the Flying Spur continues Bentley’s tradition of handcrafted luxury, featuring new seating options with Precision Diamond quilt patterning on the seats, along with the stunning Precision 3D diamond hide adorning the doors and pillars. Bentley has also introduced a Wellness Seating option with Postural Adjust and Seat Auto Climate features for all four seats, further ensuring that every journey is as comfortable as it is exhilarating.

Innovation Meets Luxury

The Flying Spur is packed with the latest in automotive technology, thanks to its new electrical architecture. Bentley’s My Bentley App Studio integrates popular apps directly into the vehicle, offering access to navigation, music, video, and even gaming, all tailored to different markets. Additionally, Bentley has improved the car’s driver assistance features, offering intelligent systems like Remote Park Assist, semi-autonomous driving capabilities, and green traffic light prediction in select cities.

These tech features are complemented by three available audio systems, including a Bang & Olufsen 1,500W system for lifestyle-oriented customers and a Naim 2,200W system for audiophiles. The latter offers 19 speakers and Active Bass Transducers for an immersive sound experience.

Personalization Without Limits

True to Bentley’s bespoke philosophy, the Flying Spur offers tens of billions of configuration possibilities. Buyers can choose from 101 paint colors, 700 leather combinations, and 8 wood veneer options, allowing for complete personalization. Bentley’s famed Mulliner division offers further customization, with endless opportunities for customers to create a truly one-of-a-kind vehicle.

A Supercar With a Conscience

Bentley has not only created a high-performance machine but also one that’s more environmentally friendly. The new Flying Spur’s hybrid powertrain reduces emissions by 90% compared to the outgoing Speed model, without compromising its supercar-level performance. This commitment to sustainable luxury is part of Bentley’s broader strategy to introduce hybrid or electric versions of all its models in the coming years.

Conclusion: The Ultimate Supercar Sedan

The fourth-generation Bentley Flying Spur stands at the intersection of luxury, performance, and innovation. With its ultra-powerful hybrid powertrain, lavish interior, and advanced driving technologies, it redefines what a four-door sedan can be. As Bentley’s first true four-door supercar, the Flying Spur sets a new benchmark for the brand, offering an unmatched blend of speed, comfort, and environmental responsibility. For those seeking the ultimate in luxury performance, the new Flying Spur is a statement that leaves nothing behind.
