The all-new 577 kW Bentley Flying Spur has more everything than the iconic W12
THE ALL-NEW 577 KW BENTLEY FLYING SPUR HAS MORE EVERYTHING THAN THE ICONIC W12
The world of luxury sedans is often synonymous with elegance, comfort, and understated power, but Bentley has once again raised the stakes, in typical British bespoke fashion. The all-new 4-generation Flying Spur takes the concept of a luxury sedan and plops it squarely into supercar territory. As Bentley’s most powerful four-door vehicle ever, the new Flying Spur is not just a statement of power, but a redefinition of what a luxury sedan can and should be. It’s a hyper-luxury saloon that combines hybrid technology, stunning design, and Bentley’s famed craftsmanship wrapped up in a package that offers a rather thrilling driving experience. At the core of the new Flying Spur lies its revolutionary hybrid powertrain. The combination of a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 lump with an added electric motor that combined deliver a staggering 577 kW (771 hp) and 1,000 Nm of torque. This makes the Flying Spur not only the most powerful Bentley sedan ever produced but also a true four-door supercar. The acceleration figures speak for themselves, 0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds and it tops out at a healthy 285 km/h, which is guaranteed to feel like 180 km/h in a Bentley. Those are supercar numbers from a 4-door saloon that can kick it at close to 300 km/h with a full complement of passengers. The magic of the new Flying Spur doesn’t end at raw power and performance. This powertrain, dubbed the ‘Ultra Performance Hybrid,’ combines explosive performance with remarkable efficiency. The hybrid system offers an electric-only range of 76 km and impressively low CO2 emissions of just 33 g/km. For a vehicle of this size and capability, such eco-conscious numbers are astonishing. Bentley’s engineering team has designed the Flying Spur to cover up to 829 km between refuelling stops, making it as practical as it is potent.
For a car with this much power, control is paramount, and Bentley ensures that the Flying Spur’s chassis is every bit as advanced as its powertrain. The Performance Active Chassis, Bentley Dynamic Ride, and All-Wheel Steering combine to deliver an unrivalled driving experience. The system adapts to changing road conditions, providing stability at high speeds while maintaining the signature smooth ride Bentley is known for. Whether you’re navigating tight city streets or cruising at highway speeds, the Flying Spur remains composed, agile, and ready to respond. The integration of Bentley Dynamic Ride, which actively adjusts the suspension to mitigate body roll, ensures that the Flying Spur remains comfortable and composed even when pushed to its limits. All-wheel steering further enhances handling, allowing for sharper turning and increased stability, particularly when manoeuvring at low speeds or through winding roads. While the new Flying Spur packs unprecedented power and performance, its exterior design remains unmistakably Bentley—refined, elegant, and commanding. The fourth-generation model receives a subtle yet significant refresh, with updates that enhance its already timeless appearance. A new grille, bumper, diffuser, and optional 22-inch wheels give the Flying Spur a more assertive stance on the road. Adding to the drama is Bentley’s dark tint brightware option, which infuses the exterior with a bolder, more contemporary look. Whether standing still or cruising along at high speeds, the Flying Spur commands attention with its graceful yet powerful design. It’s a statement of presence that aligns perfectly with its formidable performance capabilities. Step inside the new Flying Spur, and you are greeted by a cabin that seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. Bentley has introduced a range of new materials and design elements to elevate the cabin experience. The Precision Diamond quilt pattern on the seats is a standout feature, while the Precision 3D diamond hide on the doors and B-pillars adds an additional layer of sophistication. These intricate details showcase the artistry that goes into each Flying Spur, hand-stitched and assembled by Bentley’s skilled craftsmen at their Dream Factory in Crewe.
