Flying Spur
Designed, engineered and handcrafted at the Home of Bentley in Crewe, England. The new Flying Spur is built for both drivings and to be driven in. It perfectly combines a unique blend of limousine luxury and sports-sedan performance. It is re-designed from the ground up. The new Flying Spur pushes the boundaries of both technology and craftsmanship. Delivering segment-defining levels of performance and refinement.
The new Flying Spur is powered by a reworked six-litre W12 that delivers 626 horsepower. It is enough to propel the giant car from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) in 3.7 seconds and onto a top speed of 207 mph – 14 mph up from the outgoing model. Besides, the most elegant car showcases Bentley’s modern sculptural design language through elegant yet muscular proportions. The marque’s latest generation of unique, cut-crystal effect LED matrix headlamps and new wrap-around rear lamps with ‘B’ motifs.
For the first time, newly-designed for Bentley’s second century is a ‘Flying B’ mascot which adorns the nose of the new Flying Spur for the first time in modern memory, rising from beneath a beautifully modern Bentley badge denoting the precious quality of the model. The car is the most advanced luxury Grand Touring sedan available today, offering a host of cutting-edge technologies to deliver a driving experience of extraordinary breadth and capability not seen in this segment before.
