On a 2.05-mile circuit entirely covered in 12 inches of ice and snow, the Flying Spur Speed recorded a best lap time of 2 minutes 58 seconds, making it the fastest vehicle ever to lap the circuit in winter conditions. Despite the treacherous surface and the longest straight of just 450 metres coated in sheet ice, Bentley\u2019s four-door performance flagship reached a peak speed of 120 mph during the record run. Key to the achievement was the Flying Spur Speed\u2019s variable four-wheel-drive system and rear-wheel steering, which delivered exceptional agility and stability on the frozen track.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bentley-Flying-Spur-ice-record-4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-892198\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bentley-Flying-Spur-ice-record-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bentley-Flying-Spur-ice-record-4.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bentley-Flying-Spur-ice-record-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bentley-Flying-Spur-ice-record-4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bentley-Flying-Spur-ice-record-4-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bentley-Flying-Spur-ice-record-4-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bentley-Flying-Spur-ice-record-4-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bentley-Flying-Spur-ice-record-4-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bentley-Flying-Spur-ice-record-4-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bentley-Flying-Spur-ice-record-4-1400x788.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The winter lap record draws inspiration from landmark moments in Bentley\u2019s history, including the marque\u2019s Ice Speed Records in 2007 and 2011, as well as the Turbo R\u2019s one-hour endurance record at Millbrook Proving Ground in 1986, where it averaged 140 mph.

A 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 producing 600 PS is paired with a 190 PS electric motor integrated into an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. In Sport mode, the system delivers a combined 782 PS and 1,000 Nm of torque, with the instant response of the electric motor enhancing the character of the V8. The Flying Spur Speed can also operate in full electric mode, offering up to 47 miles (76 km) of electric-only range and EV driving at speeds of up to 87 mph (140 km\/h). Combined, the hybrid system provides a total driving range of 515 miles (829 km).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bentley-Flying-Spur-ice-record-5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-892199\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bentley-Flying-Spur-ice-record-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bentley-Flying-Spur-ice-record-5.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bentley-Flying-Spur-ice-record-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bentley-Flying-Spur-ice-record-5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bentley-Flying-Spur-ice-record-5-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bentley-Flying-Spur-ice-record-5-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bentley-Flying-Spur-ice-record-5-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bentley-Flying-Spur-ice-record-5-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bentley-Flying-Spur-ice-record-5-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bentley-Flying-Spur-ice-record-5-1400x788.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Standard fitment of Bentley\u2019s Performance Active Chassis further underpins the car\u2019s all-weather capability.
