The 2025 Bentley Flying Spur Speed is a stunning combination of luxury and performance that has been updated to offer both style and power. While it may look similar to the previous model at first glance, there have been subtle changes to the grille, front bumper, and wheel designs. However, the most significant updates are found under the hood.
Featuring a plug-in hybrid powertrain developed in collaboration with Porsche, the Flying Spur Speed offers a powerful twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine paired with an electric motor, delivering a total of 771 horsepower. This results in impressive acceleration, with the car capable of sprinting from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds. The electric motor allows for smooth acceleration even in EV mode, providing an estimated range of 47 miles on the European WLTP cycle.
Charging the battery is convenient and quick, with the Flying Spur’s 11.0-kW onboard charger allowing for fast charge times of less than three hours. The car also features regenerative braking to help replenish the battery, although the transition from electric to gasoline power can sometimes be a bit rough depending on driving conditions.
In terms of handling, the Flying Spur Speed has been enhanced to offer a more athletic driving experience while maintaining a smooth ride. New dual-valve adaptive dampers provide a comfortable ride in Comfort mode and sharper handling in Sport mode. With rear-wheel steering, torque-vectoring all-wheel drive, and an electronic limited-slip differential, the Flying Spur Speed offers impressive performance and agility for a luxury sedan of its size.
Inside the cabin, the Flying Spur Speed boasts luxurious details such as diamond-quilted leather upholstery and a wellness-inspired massaging-seat feature called Postural Adjust. The car’s onboard tech has been upgraded to include downloadable apps, an improved climate-control system with air ionizers, and advanced air quality detection.
With over 700 color combinations for the interior and 101 exterior paint colors to choose from, the Flying Spur Speed offers endless personalization options. While the base price starts at $276,450, the car can be customized with additional features such as a 19-speaker Naim stereo system, predictive adaptive cruise control, and night vision.
For those with a taste for luxury and performance, the 2025 Bentley Flying Spur Speed delivers on both fronts. With its powerful plug-in hybrid powertrain, refined handling, and opulent interior, this car is a true blend of style and substance that is sure to impress even the most discerning buyers.
