Bentley will withdraw his famous W12 engine this summer and mark the end of an era with the Batur Cabrio as a final tribute. In his place, Bentley presents a sophisticated “Ultra Performance Hybrid” system that focuses on a robust V8 engine. This new hybrid configuration aims to exceed the 740 PS of the Batur performance, whereby thanks to its electric motor components, has additional performance and has set a new standard for bentleys installation including the Flying Spur Speed and Continental GT speed models.
While the exact torque number remains under clasp, the expectations around the impressive brand of 1,000 Newton measuring devices (approx. 738 pound foot) float, which promises a wider RPM range for improved performance dynamics. The expected “Ultra Performance Hybrid” promises to be Bentley’s most exciting and reaction -fast setup so far and to combine the top dynamics with incomparable efficiency. Bentley also indicates a significant electrical range of 50 miles as part of the WLTP cycle, with the friendly approval of an advanced but not in more detail.
This is not Bentley’s opening company for electrification; The brand previously introduced a 2.9-liter V6 hybrid system that can be seen in the flying track and provides a combined 536 hp and 553 LB-FT. However, the new V8 hybrid is designed in such a way that it is anchored in a new series of “Daily Supercars”, which are removed from the traditional W12, in which over 105,000 units were produced in two decades, which increased the performance by almost 40% and reduces fuel consumption by 25%.
Amid Shifting Automotive Paradigms, Bentley Has Adjusted Its All-Electric Rollout Plans, Now Targeting 2033 for a Fully Electric Range, with the debut EV Model Expected to LaTe 2026. This Strategic Pivot Reflects A BRADER Trend With the Volkswagen Group, AS SEEN WITH Audi’s Discontinuation of the R8 and ITS V10, Lamborghini’s Upcoming Plug-in Hybrid V8 Replacing The Huracan. In the meantime, other connected companies such as Bugatti develop a new V16 hybrid for future hypercars and underline a group-wide transition to more sustainable but equally impressive performance technologies.
