Earlier this year, Bentley stopped making the W12 that has carried its super-luxury vehicles since 2003, making way for the launch of its V8 hybrid in the new Continental GT. Now comes the second model with this potent combination: the 2025 Flying Spur. It's equipped with the same turbocharged 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 cranking out 592 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque developed in conjunction with Porsche. Paired with a powerful e-motor and a 25.9 kWh battery, total output is an impressive 771 hp and 738 pound-feet of torque. In sum, Bentley calls the Flying Spur the most powerful sedan it has ever built.
