Needs to be rid of the center hump. That is a BIG differentiator that says “I’m Electric!”

Also, needs 0-60 time sub 7 seconds.

v6 seems kinda dumb. Put in a smaller gen with more batteries.

I agree. I see no need to make any more pure fuel vehicles, at the minimum make all new vehicles hybrids.

And I can’t find a reason to make any pure hybrids. Every driving need that I can identify could be done with a PHEV. Who couldn’t drive as they now do with a GM Volt, full-sized pickup or SUV?

If there is someone who truly has no place to plug in, then offer a special version with the battery pack removed. The next owner can put one back in.
Those Bentleys aren’t likely going long distances. A PHEV version would likely be a “nothing but electricity” ride for almost all.

Bentley should be able to stop making just gas guzzlers and make a nice fast hybrid car that gets the fuel economy of a V6 with the power of a V8, without having the car look any different than their traditional cars. I welcome hybrids, consumers shouldn’t have to drive a gas guzzler to have luxury. Take the Model S for instance, fully electric, 0-60 in 4.4 seconds and a driving range of ~250 miles.

Very childish.
