Overview
The 2017 Bentley Flying Spur is a fullsize sedan offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $205,000. For that price, it mainly competes with the Aston Martin Rapide S, the Porsche Panamera Turbo S Sedan, and the Mercedes-Benz AMG S 65 Sedan. Between 2 trims, the Flying Spur offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine capable of making 521 horsepower and 502 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 616 horsepower-making 6.0L twin-turbocharged W12. Both engines are mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The Flying Spur reaches 60 mph from zero in 4.7 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 4.3 seconds with the 6.0L Twin-turbocharged W12. Depending on the powertrain, the Flying Spur can manage a combined fuel economy between 17 and 15 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 104 striking colors the Flying Spur comes in really pull you towards itself.
