The first generation of the Flying Spur made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in 2013.
General
The sedan is 9 mm higher and longer and 8 mm wider than its predecessor. The wheelbase remained the same at 3,066 mm. The weight, however, was reduced by 50 kg; just like the c W value now given as 0.29 . In contrast to its predecessor, the radiator grille is almost vertical. The headlights were enlarged. In contrast to the front end, the rear stands out more clearly from the predecessor. The C-pillar is made wider; the stern is lower and runs out longer. The previously upright, rectangular rear lights have been drawn wider.
Technical specifications
The Bentley Flying Spur is powered by the same engine as in the previous model, but in a revised form so that the output of the six-liter W12 biturbo engine increases by 48 kW (65 hp) to 460 kW (625 hp). The 8-speed automatic transmission already familiar from the Coupé and Cabriolet is new . The revised air suspension ensures that the body is lowered by 5 mm at the front and 10 mm at the rear from a speed of 195 km / h, and by a further 8 mm or 13 mm from 240 km / h.
The Flying Spur has been available since September 2014 with the four-liter V8 biturbo engine located below the W12, which is already familiar from the Continental GT . The starting price at its market launch is around 178,000 euros. The visual changes are limited to Bentley emblems with a red background and double-oval tailpipes.
Bentley has been producing the Black Edition as a special model of the Flying Spur since 2017. Equipped with the standard engine of the V8 S, the special model stands out from the series with darkened headlights, black add-on parts and wheels with a diameter of 21 inches.
