The new powertrain combines a 2.9-litre V6 petrol engine with an upgraded electric motor, which makes a total of 536 bhp and 750 Nm of torque.
Using only energy from waste straw and what Bentley calls ‘the power of the planet’, an engineering prototype flying spur hybrid has completed a test run as part of the car’s sign off and Bentley’s development of renewable fuels. The Azure Purple Flying Spur Hybrid has covered a total of 733 km in a single tenure and on fully renewable energy, through a combination of 100% second generation biofuel and geothermal sourced electricity available from Iceland’s power grid. Driving across Iceland covering the distance.
The trip is a validation of Bentley’s grand Touring range of new hybrids – the second to be launched after the Bentayga Hybrid – and Bentley’s research into biofuels, which can be used without engine modification. The fuel used conforms to the same EN228 standard as normal pump gasoline, yet is made entirely from waste biomass (such as straw) without the cost of food production or natural ecosystem. The combination of this fuel and the Flying Spur Hybrid’s intelligent electrified powertrain means an overall 45 percent reduction in CO2 emissions based on well-wheels during the adventure.

Bentley’s engineering board member, Mathias Rabe, said, “With the launch of the Flying Spur Hybrid we now have a hybrid range at Bentley, and with this challenge we have proven the true advantage of hybrids. Good. Of both worlds, especially when the use of second-generation innovative biofuels means a huge drop in CO2 emissions.”
The new powertrain combines a 2.9-litre V6 petrol engine with an upgraded electric motor, which delivers a total of 536 bhp and 750 Nm of torque – an additional 95 bhp compared to the Bentayga Hybrid. The new Flying Spur becomes the most efficient Bentley ever, with a range of 700 km when fully refueled.

Inside the cabin, the automatic start-stop switch has been replaced with a control for three E modes – EV Drive, Hybrid Mode and Hold Mode, to allow the driver to manage battery usage during the journey. EV Drive mode is triggered as soon as the car is switched on, maximizing the electric driving experience. It is ideal for city driving and short trips.
