Bentley’s Flying Spur Speed Sets New Lap Record At A Race Track Covered In 12-inch Of Ice And Snow
Bentley’s Flying Spur Speed sets new lap record at a race track in Sweden covered in 12-inch of ice and snow.
Exceptional performance made possible by its variable four-wheel drive system, Hybrid powertrain and advanced chassis systems.
Bentley’s V8 and e-motor allows 771-hp Flying Spur Speed do 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 177 mph.
Flying Spur Speed’s new record inspired by two ice speed records captured by Bentley with the Continental GT in 2007 and 2011.
The all-new Bentley Flying Spur Speed has set a new ‘winter lap record’ after completing the 2.5-mile, ice-covered Drivecenter Arena in northern Sweden in a new record time of 2 minutes and 58 seconds.
During the record run, the Flying Spur Speed was able to reach a peak speed of 120 mph (193km/h) despite the longest straight being only 450 metres long and covered in sheet ice.
The Flying Spur Speed’s exceptional performance during this run was made possible by its variable four-wheel drive system and rear-wheel steering combined with its Ultra Performance Hybrid powertrain and advanced chassis systems.
Powered by a 600 PS 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with a 190 PS electric motor, the Flying Spur Speed can reach speeds of up to 87 mph (140 km/h) in Full Electric Mode while the 25.9 kWh battery-pack offers up to 47 miles (76 km) of usable electric-only range.
Bentley’s V8 and e-motor allows the 771-horsepower Flying Spur Speed sedan to reach 60 mph from rest in just 3.3 seconds (0-100 km/h in 3.5 secs) and an electronically limited top speed of 177 mph (285 km/h).
The Flying Spur Speed’s new record was inspired by two Ice Speed Records captured by Bentley with the Continental GT in 2007 and 2011, and the one-hour endurance record set by a Turbo R at Millbrook Proving Ground in the UK in 1986.
