MODEL FEATURES
The Bentley Flying Spur V8 offers a leaner, yet still luxurious alternative to its more powerful W12 sibling. For those with a love of the famous V8 exhaust note, the world’s most exhilarating luxury sedan has finally arrived.
EXTERIOR DESIGN
With its sharply defined body shape, the Flying Spur V8 is a commanding presence on the road. The Bentley marque’s characteristic curves meet crisp, clean edges in a remarkably sleek silhouette.
Elegant it certainly is. Yet the power line running down the side of the body, the strong rear haunch and the wraparound tail lamps betray the reserves of power concealed beneath the car’s sculpted bonnet.
The Flying Spur V8: a powerful design statement and an extraordinary luxury sedan.
INTERIOR DESIGN
Spend time in the Flying Spur and you might not want to get out.
The interior represents a unique marriage of traditional craftsmanship and advanced technology. You can see it in the mirror-matched veneer waistrails and dashboard, the matching veneered glasses case in the console and the picnic tables behind the front seats. It can take some time to appreciate everything inside the Flying Spur. It could even be worth making those first few trips a touch longer.
THE FLYING SPUR V8 MULLINER
The Flying Spur V8 Mulliner continues the proud tradition of handcrafted excellence, passed down over generations of master coachbuilders. Over 100 specialists ply their trade at Mulliner, with craftsmen working alongside specialists in advanced electronics.
The V8 Mulliner model takes the Flying Spur V8's specification to new heights of Bentley luxury. The huge range of exterior colours now includes three striking new metallic hues, while the broad choice of interior hides now incorporates Shortbread and Camel options for the main hides. All the while, Mulliner brings additional options for both exterior and interior, such as 20” 5-spoke alloy wheels, diamond-quilted seats and door panels with perforated hide, a knurled sports gear lever and drilled alloy sports pedals – every detail crafted to emphasise this remarkable car’s personality.
The Flying Spur V8 Mulliner is the ultimate luxury V8.
