If you've been following the news, you might realise that this isn't Bentley's first rodeo into the hybrid automotive space. That record goes to the Bentley Bentayga Hybrid that went on sale in 2021.
When you combine the V6 and electric motor together the car has a rated power output of 544 horsepower. 0 to 100km/h is dashed off in 4.3 seconds. According to official specification, the car can travel up to 805km when you combine a full battery charge and a full tank of fuel. In electric-only mode it's as quiet as you would expect a car of this class to be. There's just enough road noise to give you a sense of spatial awareness, and that's it.
In a lesser car this wouldn't be an issue but in a Bentley where you expect nothing but perfection, it's a minor sticking point. The Flying Spur Hybrid is even quicker than the Rolls-Royce Ghost in a straight sprint, and even though the car doesn't have the four-wheel steering componentry of its V8-powered sibling, there's still a healthy dose of dynamism in the way the big Flying Spur carves up corners.
