If you’ve ever wanted a luxury car that whispers spa day while rocketing from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, Bentley’s latest High Performance Hybrid lineup is basically your dream on four wheels. Joining the Continental GT, GTC (that’s the convertible), and the Flying Spur is a fresh V8 plug-in hybrid powertrain because, well, the environment.
This new setup combines a 4.0L V8 and an electric motor to crank out 680 PS and 930 Nm of torque, making it stronger than the old W12 GT Speed. The GT hits 60 mph (100 km/h) in just 3.5 seconds, while the GTC takes a whole blink longer at 3.8 seconds. And yes, you can creep silently to your local bakery on electric-only mode for up to 53 miles (85 km).
But Bentley’s not just flexing numbers. The Azure variants are for those who want wellness with their wheelspin. These come loaded with massaging seats, mood lighting, and enough fancy wood and quilted leather to make your living room jealous.
The Flying Spur doesn’t miss out either. It may look like a chauffeured limousine, but it’ll still do 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds (0-100 km/h in 3.9) while coddling five people in a cocoon of walnut trim and very good decisions.
Prices start at around US$265,900, but let’s be honest—if you’re eyeing a Bentley, you’re probably not budgeting for cupholders.
