Car Review: Bentley Flying Spur Price and More Information



Updated depth Bentley Flying Spur. Measures 5.3 meters in length, therefore, is smaller than the other sedan Bentley, Mulssane. The interior can be configured for four occupants choose (with a console with space for placing objects between the two rear seats, image) or five (image).

Is on sale from 230 911 euros.

It has a longer body and is more expensive than long-wheelbase versions of the BMW 7 Series, the Audi A8 and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class A Rolls Royce Ghost is longer (5.4 meters) and the price much higher.

The outer dimensions of the Flying Spur are very similar to those of the previous model and remains unchanged wheelbase (3.07 meters).

Keeps the twelve-cylinder engine (W12) that has been using Bentley haca several years in some of their models (and already had the former Flying Spur), but in this case you have changes to give 625 horses. So it has the same power as the Bentley Continental GT Speed​​.

This engine is now attached to a gearbox eight-speed automatic, rather than a six. As with all Bentley models, except for the Mulsanne (which is made from a different platform), traction is standing on all four wheels.


As the power increases , benefits are also better . It can accelerate from standstill to 100 km / h in 4.6 seconds and its top speed is 320 kilometers per hour. Consumption is also better, due partly to the development of eighth gear transmission is longer than the sixth previous model since there are improvements in aerodynamics. As you can see in this list , the consumption of this new Bentley Flying Spur is lower than any of the foregoing which are no longer sold .






Body as well as various changes in appearance , has more torsional rigidity ( according to the manufacturer which helps reduce noise and vibration ) . The new tires , measures 275/45 R19 (optional there are 20 to 21 inches ) , give more comfort - as Bentley- than the previous model because they have a taller sidewall , to which must be added that the springs are less hard , less rigid stabilizer bars and shocks are no changes in variable hardness ( electronic management is different and have up to four hard manual adjustments ) .
The suspension also changes the ride height . A 195 km / h, a car to the ground height is reduced by 5 mm in the front and 10 in the rear , to 240 km / h , the height drops another 8 mm in the front and 13 in back .
The system Electronic Stability Control (ESC ) is different due to new suspension settings . Bentley says that " is calibrated to ensure that the driver is not impeded impetuous for the stability system interventions and, when deemed appropriate , to explore the limits of vehicle handling by selecting the system dynamically ESC ".
In addition to improvements in the comfort of suspension , no new insulating materials in the doors , new floor and side windows to reduce noise inside the cabin. For this purpose of reducing noise also changed the exhaust systems .




According to Bentley , the interior has 600 new parts. The statement says " from the previous generation have retained only the visors , handles , armrests and part of the console and the front controls ." The leather upholstery of the seats , you can choose up to twelve colors ( or 17 if you choose the option " Mulliner Driving Specification ") - is also different, more durable and soft . The body can choose from over 100 colors, some of which are new as the ' Damson '.


A curious fact is that Bentley used inside the Flying Spur 10 m² of natural wood, which can have up to 7 possible finishes (or 12 with the option "Mulliner Driving Specification").

There is a new touch screen on the 8-inch dashboard is associated with a navigation system and sound. The sound system (the manufacturer Naim) lets you play music stored on the hard drive of the system itself, on SD cards or an iPod. Access to multimedia system functions and others as the HVAC system can be done from the rear seats thanks to a remote control.

Additionally you can order a system called that has wifi access (previously need to insert a sim card in the car system), headphones and two screens 10 "behind the backs of the rear seats and various connections to input devices external (USB, HDMI, CD or DVD).
