Brussels Motor Show: Bentley showcases their latest models, Flying Spur Hybrid and Bentayga EWB First Edition

(PRESS RELEASE) MUNICH, 11-Jan-2023 — /EuropaWire/ — Bentley Motors Limited, hand building cars for over a century and the most sought-after luxury car brand in the world part of Volkswagen Group, has announced it displayed three special models at the 100th anniversary of the Brussels Motor Show. The Flying Spur Mulliner Hybrid painted in Barnato Green took center stage on the Bentley stand, alongside a classic heritage model displayed in British Racing Green. Outside, the new Bentley Bentayga EWB Azure First Edition was showcased for the first time, featuring an open pore Dark Burr Walnut dashboard and complementing Linen and Cumbrian Green interior. The Bentayga EWB Azure First Edition is a luxury Extended Wheelbase model with unique details and options such as an emphasis on wellness, with a larger cabin space than any luxury competitor and exceptional legroom. The optional Airline Seat Specification includes world-first auto climate sensing and advanced postural adjustment systems, providing the ultimate limousine experience of luxury and performance without compromise.

On display at the Bentley stand in Brussels is a Flying Spur Mulliner Hybrid in stunning Barnato Green. This shade was originally called Racing Green but then renamed in 2003  in honour of Woolf Barnato – one of the original Bentley Boys. The distinctive colour scheme is complemented by 22-inch Ten Spoke Sports Wheels, finished in Pale Brodgar Satin. A luxurious interior includes a High-Gloss carbon fibre finish instead of wood veneer panels, adding a contemporary, technical and sporty feel to the cabin. A special optic resin process enhances the 3D appearance of the carbon fibre weave. Colour Split D in Burnt Oak trim features the finest soft-touch leather, gracing virtually every surface that isn’t wood or metal. These distinctive features and options are the signature of Mulliner’s craftsmanship and personalisation division.

The most efficient Bentley ever, and representing another step on the company’s journey to becoming a leader in sustainable luxury mobility, the Hybrid has the lowest emissions of any Bentley in history, at 75g of CO2 per kilometre (WLTP). The electrified grand tourer offers a combined range of 805km, and 41km in pure electric drive (WLTP). The new powertrain delivers the renowned luxury and performance of a Flying Spur without compromise, combining the power of a 536 bhp (544 PS) and 750 Nm (533 lb.ft) 2.9-litre petrol engine with an advanced electric motor. The Hybrid joins the Flying Spur family alongside the V8, W12 and Mulliner models.

The Bentley brand is represented by D’Ieteren Automotive in Belgium with three dedicated showrooms: Bentley Antwerp, Bentley Brussels and Bentley Knokke.
