Developed as a four-door supercar, the 2025 Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed combined the abilities to drive with zero emissions and the performance of a legit high-performance vehicle, all in a luxurious package.
While the previous three generations of the Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed relied mostly on their W12 twin-turbo engines to move the majestic British limousine with supercar-like performance, the fourth iteration of this nameplate came with a hybrid-only drivetrain. In addition, the 2025 Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed was the most potent and fasted four-door vehicle that ever left the assembly lines from Crewe, UK. However, the car manufacturer didn’t forget that its customers were attracted by luxurious features inside the cabin and that they put luxury above performance. As a result, the four-door go-fast vehicle from Bentley also included a lavish interior made for deep-pocket customers.
The front fascia of the 2025 Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed mixed the automaker’s conservative design with some supercar-inspired details. Its big and round Matrix LED headlights featured diamond-like details and flanked a massive split grille with a rhomboidal mesh pattern. In addition, a set of round, corner-mounted lights added more character to the vehicle. At the same time, though, the lower side of the bumper sported a massive air dam that integrated a trapezoidal air intake in the middle and had side scoops for air curtains on the sides.
From its profile, the majestic vehicle boasted a cab-rearward design with a raked windshield, pushed-back roof, and raked-forward C-posts. Behind it, a short and sloped deck lid emphasized the sedan’s sporty character. Furthermore, the automaker added sculptured lines along the bodywork’s sides, with coke-bottle styling for the rear fenders. That was an unusual detail for a 2025 vehicle, especially a luxurious one. On the front fenders, Bentley added its specific B-shaped vents behind the wheel arches, while below them were the Speed badges. Finally, at the back, the four-door supercar featured large, corner-mounted LED taillights that flanked the trunk lid. At the same time, below, poking through the rear bumper, were the oval-shaped exhausts, one on each side.
However, the cabin was the place to be for any Bentley customer, and the British car manufacturer that belonged to Audi boasted a high level of luxury. The leather-wrapped interior offered a set of bolstered high-seats at the front and a bench seat profiled for two in the back, although with three headrests and a folding armrest between them. The 3D diamond quilted upholstery covered not just the seats but the door cards and the B-pillars as well. Fronting the driver was a digital instrument panel surrounded by a rounded cluster trimmed in expensive leather. The center stack housed the famous Bentley Rotating Display featuring on one side a 12.3-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system, three analog dials on another, and a handcrafted veneer on the third side.
Under the hood was a plug-in hybrid drivetrain consisting of a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine paired with an electric motor. The system was carried over from the 2025 Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, and it was the same as the one installed under the hood of the Bentley Continental GT. The combined power figure for this system was 771 hp (782 PS). The internal combustion powerhouse contributed with 592 hp (600 PS), while the e-motor produced 187 hp (190 PS). As a result, the massive, heavyweight four-door sedan could rocket from 0 to 60 mph (0-97 kph) in a mere 3.3 seconds.
