Bentley has revealed a bespoke Flying Spur Hybrid by ‘The Surgeon’ during Art Basel Miami.
The one-of-one Flying Spur Hybrid is named after its co-creator Dominic Ciambrone – a.k.a. The Surgeon – the world’s leading creative custom shoemaker.
It follows another collaboration the luxury car brand did with The Surgeon earlier this year on a pair of bespoke limited edition Bentley sneakers.

The Surgeon has put the Bentley Flying Spur Hybrid under the knife, creating a very special edition luxury car enhanced in all the right places.
To start with, let’s talk about the paint job.
Although it may not be clear to the naked eye, the Flying Spur Hybrid is actually a two-tone car.
CHECK THIS OUT!
To be precise, it’s “duotone Anthracite over Anthracite Satin” accented by “Satin Bronze brightware, pinstriping and wheel accents”.
The same finish is used for the Surgeon badges on the D pillar and Hybrid badge on the fender.
The Mulliner Blackline specification replaces exterior polished chrome with all-black brightware, while the Styling Specification includes a front splitter, side sills, rear diffuser, and boot lip spoiler in carbon fiber.
The finishing touch is provided by an illuminated Fly B radiator mascot in Gloss Black.
Sounds very fancy, but wait until you hear what’s on the inside.
The Flying Spur Hybrid has a bespoke interior featuring unique stitching and embroidery, Satin Bronze accents and Bronze piping.
There’s dual-finish wood veneers with laser-etched skull and crossed scalpel logos, with Gloss White pinstriping.
Oh, and the rear doors feature 3D diamond-patterned walnut panels, too.
Another delightful detail, bespoke LED welcome lamps, project the skull and crossed scalpel onto the ground to guide entry.
Don’t forget, the Flying Spur Hybrid packs a punch, with its 536bhp and 553 lb-ft of torque propelling it from 0-100 km/h (0-60 mph) in 4.1 seconds and onto a top speed of 285 km/h (177 mph).
Bentley Flying Spur Hybrid by The Surgeon price
Unfortunately, Bentley didn’t reveal how much the one-off Flying Spur Hybrid by The Surgeon will cost.
However, it has said that the purchasing customer will receive a matching pair of ‘Bentley x The Surgeon Adidas Forum Low’ sneakers.
Sweet.
