It wasn’t that long ago that the idea of a hybrid Bentley would have been insane, or at the very least laughable. But now we’ve got the electrified Bentayga and the new Flying Spur Hybrid. And according to an announcement from Bentley on Thursday, the Flying Spur Hybrid is getting an added twist.

Bentley will offer a special edition called the Flying Spur Hybrid Odyssean Edition, and it’s a seriously handsome car. More than just beautiful, though, Bentley wants the Odyssean Edition to show a more sustainable side to the hyperluxury brand.

The Flying Spur Hybrid features a 2.9-liter V6 that produces a very healthy 536 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque when paired with an electric motor. This is weirdly a different powertrain than the 2021 Bentayga Hybrid, which gets a 3.0-liter V6 and produces 443 hp and 516 lb-ft.
