BENTLEY FLYING SPUR
The sharp, sophisticated silhouette of the Flying Spur hints at both the exhilarating, all-wheel drive power that lies beneath the bonnet and the unrivalled luxury within. Consider it the ultimate expression of the exquisite craftsmanship and design that characterises the Flying Spur range.
The Flying Spur offers a combination of details and features including an impressive upright chrome grille, and lower chrome bumper insert. As a result, it presents a muscular yet elegant face to the world, now further refined with a choice of striking new alloy wheels that underscore its remarkable capabilities.
The Flying Spur is instantly recognisable from any vantage point, thanks to the sharply defined line running from the front wheel arch to the rear bumper and the signature exterior features. On the Flying Spur W12, chrome has been incorporated into the matrix radiator grille, with either a body-coloured or chrome lower grille insert available (as an option). 20” 6 Tri-spoke alloy wheels, with black painted callipers, and oval chrome exhausts come as standard. Black brand logos and W12 C pillar badges also assist in making your Flying Spur truly stand apart.
For the Flying Spur, a full range of 17 hide colours, five colour splits and either Burr Walnut or Dark Fiddleback Eucalyptus veneer are available as standard. To ensure your driving experience is both dynamic and refined, the Flying Spur also comes with the Comfort Specification as standard, including front and rear seat massage and ventilation, front seat rolling nose adjustment and front passenger seat movement controlled from the rear compartment.
Other details that catch the eye include the organ stop air-vent controls. These deliver the smooth and satisfyingly solid feel of authentic legacy instruments. Or the hand-stitched steering wheel that feels just right in your hands.
As with the whole Flying Spur range, this model has independent computer-controlled air suspension, which maximises impact absorption and isolation, an 8-speed QuickShift transmission, and the advanced all-wheel drive powertrain. The 40:60 rear-biased torque split helps to sharpen the handling, reducing understeer and providing more engagement with the road and the 8-speed transmission provides responsive power and incredibly smooth gear changes. The car’s engine management system gives the driver total control of the effortless power that is always available, while also delivering a better range.
The Bentley Flying Spur W12 offers increased economy and range with improved efficiency. It achieves smart fuel efficiency thanks to its Variable Displacement System – this clever technology switches off six of its 12 cylinders when not required in order to preserve fuel at lower speeds.
