Bentley establishes a new luxury performance sedan benchmark with
the launch of the new Flying Spur.
The new Flying Spur takes the worldwide success of its iconic
predecessor further.
Bentley’s most powerful four-door model ever
makes its global debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show on 5th
March.
Sharp feature lines complement muscular rear haunches, while LED
day-time running lights, dipped headlights and taillights
characterise the front and rear profiles.
The interior designers
have created a luxurious, spacious cabin that dresses advanced
acoustic and electronic technologies in exquisite hand-crafted
leather hides and wood veneers.
Driver and passengers alike interface with the car and the
outside world through touch-screen infotainment, mobile
connectivity including Wi-Fi, a Rear Seat Entertainment suite and
a new hand-held Touch Screen Remote which allows rear-cabin
occupants to control an extensive range of features from the
comfort of their seat. An eight-channel, eight-speaker audio
system with Balanced Mode Radiators provides high quality sound
clarity, with the 1100W Naim for Bentley premium system available
as an option.
Powering the new Flying Spur is Bentley’s renowned 6.0-litre,
twin turbo W12 engine, coupled to a ZF eight-speed transmission.
Developing 625 PS (616 bhp) and 800 Nm of torque, the new Flying
Spur features more power than any other Bentley four-door in
history.
A 14 per cent improvement in the power-to-weight ratio
over the outgoing model delivers a breath-taking 0-60 mph time of
4.3 seconds and a top-speed of 200 mph (322 km/h).
In the modern
Bentley tradition, power is delivered to the road via all-wheel
drive with a 40:60 rear-biased torque split for a sure-footed,
engaging drive in all road and weather conditions.
