Will the new Bentley Flying Spur Hybrid satisfy the marque's 12-cylinder faithful? We drove it to find out.
Most importantly, would there be a sacrifice in performance when compared to Bentley’s own ICE-powered lineup?
The hybrid version of the Flying Spur still sports the same sumptuous cabin that earned Robb Report’s Best of the Best accolade for interiors last year. But why a V-6? I posed the question to Steve Jones, Bentley’s chief technical engineer for the Continental GT, GTC and Flying Spur. His response was diplomatic, saying that “the only available power train for that particular car is the V-6 PZEV engine” without mentioning that Volkswagen Group stablemate Porsche also utilizes a 2.
On the turns, the 5,523-pound all-wheel-drive four-door doesn’t hide its heft as much as expected, and I found that the benefit of all-wheel steering was less apparent than in, say, an S-Class. Still, the machine covers zero to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and tops out at 177 mph—certainly no slouch in the spec department.
