Overview

The 2014 Bentley Flying Spur makes for an excellent contender in the fullsize sedan. With a single trim on offer, the Bentley Flying Spur has a base MSRP of $200,500, competing directly with the Aston Martin Rapide S and the Rolls Royce Ghost. Only a 6.0L W12 engine is offered, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 616 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.1 seconds, the Bentley Flying Spur maintains a combined fuel economy of 15 MPG. Bentley offers the Bentley Flying Spur in 104 stunning colors, with the St James Red 3 Coat Pearlescent being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The 2014 Bentley Flying Spur is an ultra-luxurious yet engaging-to-drive sedan in its segment. There is one trim offered but Bentley offers plenty of optional features and customization options to equip.
