THE NEW FLYING SPUR V8 S

The new, more agile Flying Spur V8 S has luxury and performance at its heart. It brings an enhanced sporting edge to the already dynamically agile Flying Spur range. It is a car designed to turn heads as effortlessly as it turns corners.

The Flying Spur V8 S expresses its distinctive sporting credentials through details that include a unique body-coloured bumper, Beluga Gloss front radiator matrix and rear diffuser. Dark tint option adds to the modern and edgy appearance of the front and rear lights. This accentuates the already dynamic presence of the Flying Spur V8 S, creating a unique, powerful and athletic look.

DESIGN

EXTERIOR DESIGN

There's no question the Flying Spur V8 S is a breathtaking presence on the road. S stands for Sport, and it not only lives up to the name with its thrilling performance - it also looks the part. The striking front end is further intensified by the exclusive Black Gloss radiator matrix grille and distinctive body-coloured bumper - meticulously fitted by hand at the Bentley factory in Crewe. Step back and its power is magnified through with the classic Bentley power line running from the front wheel arch down the car's flank.

UNIQUE DETAILS

Add 20" open spoke alloy wheels (with three finish options) with striking red painted callipers, wrap around taillights with single elliptical effect and figure of eight-styled exhaust and this luxurious automobile offers a truly invigorating road presence. Options such as dark tint front and rear light units, and Beluga gloss door mirrors add an even edgier, more distinctive look.

All these seemingly small details add up to make the Flying Spur V8 S a powerful Bentley design statement. It is an extraordinary luxury sedan with an unexpected and satisfying sporting character.

INTERIOR DESIGN

If the striking new silhouette of the Flying Spur V8 S is there to be appreciated as a whole, so the handcrafted interior rewards closer scrutiny. The new Flying Spur V8 S offers a more sport-focused interpretation of the consummate Flying Spur interior. Inside you will find the perfect balance of technology superbly showcased through matchless craftsmanship. Our expertise is subtly on show in every detail.

You also have a choice of the full range of 17 hide colours as standard. Sink into the sumptuous straight-fluted seating that features a hand-stitched leather headliner and unique colour split that can be commissioned in duo tone combinations.

CONSUMATE CRAFTSMANSHIP

It is an interior designed to reward multiple senses. A wide choice of veneer options lets you create an interior that reflects your personal tastes - whether you are looking for a traditional feel or an edgier, modern look. To give you even more options, we have introduced a new contemporary veneer in deep, subtle Dark Stained Madrona.

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 sports steering wheel that feels just right in your hands. It is these thoughtful trademark Bentley design touches that make the simplest operations, like directing the airflow, so rewarding.

PERFORMANCE

ENGINEERING

This sportier, more agile new addition to the Flying Spur range mixes electrifying performance with world-class Bentley refinement. A car with the finest details engineered with one all-consuming idea: get the adrenaline flowing.

The Flying Spur V8 S brings a scintillating sportier drive and sublime road handling to the Flying Spur range. Performance that can be appreciated on any road that life may open up to you - straight line or S-bend, urban or rural, highway or byway. It is a car that turns every manoeuvre, into a moment.

EFFORTLESS CONTROL

Increased responsiveness deliver a more exciting and rewarding drive. The suspension calibration has been adjusted so it's a touch more responsive; power and torque levels have been increased to make it feel effortless, even at low revs.

All these small details add up to an exciting drive, but with no loss of the legendary Flying Spur ride refinement and comfort. This is thanks to the independent computer-controlled air suspension, which maximises impact absorption and isolation.

TRANSMISSION

Shift into the transmission D Mode, or the even sportier S Mode, and you'll notice the throttle response is immediately keener, even at low revs. It lets you sprint from 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds in what feels like a seamlessly controlled yet irresistible surge. The V8 S's engine management system gives you total control of the effortless power that is always available, while delivering a broader range of gear choice.

Additional standard features, such as the knurled gearshift paddles add a further, engaging detail to the drive, making every gear change an experience to be savoured.

POWER AND SUSPENSION

The new Flying Spur V8 S has even more power than its V8 sibling, with 521 bhp/528 PS and maximum torque of 680 Nm from 1,700 rpm. A calibrated, sports focused suspension is combined with better roll control, sharper steering and an improved power to weight ratio – the result of continuous engineering refinement.

This incredible performance comes with no discernible loss of ride comfort thanks to the independent computer-controlled air suspension of the Flying Spur V8 S, which maximises impact absorption and isolation.

TECHNOLOGY

INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM

Specially designed for Bentley, audio, telephone, navigation system and ride and comfort settings are all just a fingertip away. Unique to the Flying Spur, rear passengers can switch between the front Infotainment system and the rear, as well as control volume via the Touch Screen Remote in the rear compartment. It's a small detail but it means that everyone can be entertained and feel in control of their entertainment in a way that makes even the longest journeys fly by.

REAR SEAT ENTERTAINMENT

The Bentley rear seat entertainment (RSE) system integrates a suite of technology into the Flying Spur, including the WiFi hub, two pairs of wireless headphones, two 10" LCD screens and 64GB of media storage with a range of inputs for digital devices.

The two LCD screens, and two DVD players are conveniently mounted on the rear of the front seats to entertain rear seat passengers with their own choice of entertainment. The media input includes two SD card slots, two USB inputs, and two HDMI cable inputs that make the choice of what your passengers choose to watch or listen to via the rear screens almost infinite.

TOUCHSCREEN REMOTE

In the Flying Spur V8 S, control can be passed easily to the the rear passengers through the integrated Touch Screen Remote (TSR).

Located in the centre of the rear console and can be easily removed from its docking station for ease of use. It controls the rear window blind and rear climate conditions as well as the seat heating and ventilation (where fitted).

You can also use it to adjust the volume of the front Infotainment system as well as switching between radio, media, and map modes. The Flying Spur's speed, vehicle trip information and current time is also displayed on the TSR, so everyone knows so everyone is always up to speed with progress however long or short the drive. Digital content is also available if the optional in-car WiFi hub is selected.

ACOUSTIC PERFECTION

The quality of all this on-hand entertainment would mean little without a calm environment in which to enjoy it. Fortunately, the Flying Spur features acoustic glazing, alongside soundproof panels built into the doors and the floor. As a result, what's outside the car stays there - leaving you to appreciate what's going on inside without distraction or interruption.
