filler cap to cover the charging point, of course, while oval exhaust pipes are another tell-tale feature of these battery- assisted versions. But, in truth, this approach works well for the Flying Spur.The only real flag came from pedestrians, who look at this more than five-metre-long saloon and wonder why it’s moving without making any noise.

WHAT’S IT LIKE INSIDE?
The cabin remains as exquisitely fashioned as you’d expect a car from this brand to be.There are some clear aspects that come from Bentley’s Volkswagen Group owners – the steering wheel buttons being the most noticeable – but everything is well fitted together and easy to access.Those sitting in the rear can enjoy loads of legroom too, alongside independent seat adjustment controls and motorised fold-out tables.
