Bentley to equip new Flying Spur with 771bhp drivetrain

After revealing the new Continental, equipped with a new 771bhp plug-in hybrid drivetrain, Bentley has announced that it will soon be revealing a new Flying Spur, also equipped with this new drivetrain.

The new drivetrain is set to make this new Flying Spur the most powerful and efficient four-door car in its 105-year history (148bhp and 100Nm more than even the W12 equipped outgoing Bentley Flying Spur). Not only will this new Flying Spur get a total of 1,000Nm of torque for effortless motoring, but it will also be able to deliver an electric-only range of 72km - all with minimal noise and no local emissions, alongside an overall range of 805km, making it a truly modern grand tourer.

Bentley states that it will reveal more details on this new Flying Spur in due course. In the meantime, you can catch our review of the outgoing Bentley Flying Spur plug-in hybrid here.
