As an added bonus, fuel consumption is surprisingly low for a vehicle of this size, with ratings as low as 8.8 L/100 km on the highway.
A dynamic and engaging driving experience
The V8-powered Bentley Flying Spur has a dynamic driving experience that allows you to have fun behind the wheel and enjoy your favorite winding road at a whole new level than other vehicles in this class. This increased agility is due to the lower weight of the V8 engine, which takes nearly 100 pounds off the scale when compared to the W12 engined model, which also allows for a better weight distribution and therefore a sharper handling that makes it a real pleasure to drive. In addition, the V8 engine has a slightly more present and suggestive sound, which makes you feel its power while remaining refined and never becoming intrusive. This engine adds to the sports heritage of Bentley with its driver focused performance, while staying true to the luxury and refinement standards that you expect.
