Overview

The Bentley Flying Spur Sedan is a fullsize sedan offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $195,100. For that price, it mainly competes with the Audi S8 Sedan, the Porsche Panamera Turbo S Sedan, and the Mercedes-Benz AMG S 63 Sedan. Between 2 trims, the Flying Spur offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 4.0L turbocharged V8 capable of making 500 horsepower and 486 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 616 horsepower-making 6.0L turbocharged W12 powertrain. Both engines are mated to a 8-speed automatic transmission. The Flying Spur reaches 60 mph from zero in 4.9 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 4.3 seconds with the W12 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Flying Spur can manage a combined fuel economy between 15 and 17 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 131 striking colors the Flying Spur comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

If the W12 trim of the 2015 Bentley Flying Spur is not exciting enough the packages are simply jaw-dropping, covering you in the epitome of luxury and style. The Mulliner Specification w/Alternative Wheel package ($15,020) is simply irresistible with those diamond quiltings and jewel fuel & oil filler caps.
