, sandwiching an 134-hp electric motor between the engine and an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. The motor is fed by a lithium-ion battery pack mounted under the trunk floor with 14.1 kw of usable energy.
Three EV-specific drive modes that can be set using a button on the center console—Hybrid, Sport, and Hold—represent the biggest difference between the Flying Spur Hybrid and the V-8 model. They aren’t to be confused with the Sport, B , Comfort, and Custom general driving modes controlled through a knurled metal dial on the center console.
During the next leg, my partner also used EV for most of a 50-mile stint, sapping 18 miles of EV range. I finished off the final 20 or so miles starting in EV, then switching to Sport, which reclaimed the few miles of EV range I used initially. Hitting the brake pedal triggers a mix of regenerative and friction braking. The hand-off between the two is mostly seamless. Only a touchy right foot will feel a bit of pedal drop in the transition.
