The new one Bentley Flying Spur Speed is the most powerful version of the sedan, but sadly, it will be “one of the last models” to have 12 cylinders arranged in a W shape.
With the W12 era coming to an end, and Bentley’s desire to be fully electric brand by 2030 and it The first EV will launch in 2025the company will no longer supply the standard W12 engine for the Flying Spur.
Under the bonnet is a 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12 engine straight from the Continental GT Speed coupe and convertible. Rated in 467kW and 900Nmit generates 63kW and 130Nm more than the standard W12.
It is connected to all four wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. Bentley says it is capable of completing the 0-100km/h benchmark in 3.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 333km/h.
For context, Continental GT Speed coupe 0.2 seconds faster and convertible only 0.1 seconds faster than tons. The sedan also has a lower top speed of 2km/h.
To keep the 5.3m-long sedan feeling nimble, there’s a standard all-wheel drive system that steers the rear wheels slightly in the opposite direction at low speeds. At higher speeds, the rear wheels point in the same direction as the front wheels to help improve stability.
The 48V Dynamic Ride System uses an electronic actuator to control the stiffness of the anti-roll bar to keep the vehicle as flat as possible through corners, while not reducing the quality of the vehicle compared to a cart. .
The ability to stop the car is thanks to the “world’s largest iron brake”, with a 420mm diameter front disc. Glossy red calipers are standard, while gloss black is optional.
Like most things on the Flying Spur, the Speed’s 22-inch alloy wheels can be customized, with the rims available in two different designs and numbers of finishes, including grey, gloss black and silver.
Other standard accessories include jewel-encrusted fuel and oil filler caps, sportier graphics for the gauges display, Speed badges and dark colors for the grille, headlights and taillights.
In terms of seats, the front seats are electronically adjusted in 24 directions, and the rear seats are electrically adjustable in 14 directions. All seats have heating, ventilation, massage, two memory settings and a mix of leather and faux suede upholstery.
