Bentley announced the launch of a plug-in hybrid version of its Flying Spur icon in the market during the second quarter of this year.

The 2.9-liter V6 petrol engine produces 306 kW/416 hp. The combined efforts of the two engines bring the system power to 400 kW / 544 hp, with a maximum torque of 750 Nm.
The company stated that the plug-in version of its Flying Spur icon will start at 210,987 euros.
Thanks to this enormous power, the car accelerates to a weight of 2.5 tons of stability to 100 km / h in 4.1 seconds, and reaches a top speed of 285 km / h.
It is expected that the average fuel consumption of the car will be reduced to 12.7 liters / 100 km.
most expensive car
And last December, Bentley announced its readiness to launch a new model, which will be the most expensive in its history, through its Mulliner division.
This new model will be Bentley’s second luxury model in a very limited number of copies, in cooperation with the Mulliner division, after the Bacalar model, of which the brand launched only 12 copies.
It is expected that this model will be inspired in its design in many ways, from the design of the luxury EXP 100 GT model, which was previously revealed by Bentley for the first time in 2019.
On the expected cost of this model, the “Motor One” website, which specializes in cars, indicated that it will be launched at a cost of no less than $2.61 million, to be the most expensive model in the history of Bentley.
