It’s quick, taking the Flying Spur from 0-60mph in just 4.1 seconds, but not at the expense of economy – official figures are awaiting confirmation, but Bentley says it has a combined range in excess of 430 miles, with an electric-only range of about 25 miles.

The Hybrid is distinguished from the rest of the Flying Spur range through a few subtle differences, including Hybrid badging, quad oval exhaust tips and a charging port on the left rear fender. There are three wheel sizes to choose from – 20, 21 and 22-inch – each with their own designs and colour finishes.

A button in the cabin gives the driver control of drive modes, to focus on electric-only driving or to manage the charge in the battery. It comes with all the necessary cables to charge via public charge points and the option of a free home wallbox for faster charging.
