FLYING SPUR S
Experience a bolder, more eye-catching take on the luxury sedan. With a choice of either a 4.0 litre V8 petrol engine or a 2.9 litre V6 petrol hybrid, the Flying Spur S combines striking sports design with thrilling performance.
The Flying Spur S takes the unmistakable presence of the Flying Spur and imbues it with a darker edge. Black exterior detailing replaces chrome, from the badges to the wheels, while an optional exterior body kit can inject even more racing flair. But its looks are only the beginning. Available with a choice of two powerful Bentley engine options – 4.0 litre V8 petrol or 2.9 litre V6 hybrid – it features a thrilling Sport mode, for a sensational driving experience. Like every car in this range, the Flying Spur S is an exceptionally spacious and luxurious four-door sedan. Yet it is also a car designed to stand out from the crowd.
Design
MAKE YOUR PRESENCE FELT
With black gloss exterior detailing including the vertical-vaned front grille, the door mirrors and the bezels that surround the windows and the lights, the Flying Spur S offers a bolder, more purposeful vision of the four-door luxury sedan.
The car has true road presence , thanks in part to its 21" Five Tri-Spoke wheels, exclusive to Bentley’s S models. They combine black gloss and bright machined panels, resulting in a truly striking look, whether stationary or in motion.
Almost every exterior detail is infused with uncompromising attitude, from the dark tint applied to the headlamps and tail lamps to the gloss black finishers on each of the four oval tailpipes.
As you step into the car, you will see ‘S’ emblems displayed on the interior treadplates beneath each door. The exclusive theme continues throughout the cabin, with badges emblazoned on the fascia and embroidered on the fluted leather seats.
EXCLUSIVE INTERIOR DESIGN
The Flying Spur S features an exclusive upholstery pattern. Its 4+1 seating configuration displays a striking combination of primary and secondary hides that reflect the car’s sporting character.
Tactile Dinamica panels – part of the car’s exclusive upholstery design – can be seen throughout the interior, including panels on the seats, the dash, the gear lever and the heated steering wheel.
Technology

Performance
The Flying Spur S is available with either a twin-turbocharged 4.0 litre V8 petrol engine or a 2.9 litre hybrid featuring a powerful electric motor.
The V8 engine delivers 542 bhp (550 PS), which results in acceleration from zero to 60 mph in just 4.0 seconds (0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds) and a top speed of 198 mph (318 km/h). The hybrid produces 536 bhp (544 PS), taking you from 0-60 mph in 4.1 seconds (0-100 km/h in 4.3 seconds).
There are four driving modes to choose from. Alongside Comfort, Bentley and Custom, they include Sport Mode, which optimises the engine, suspension and transmission settings for the most thrilling drive possible.
When the car is driven in Sport mode, the Sports Exhaust comes into its own. Designed to maximise the roar of the engine as you accelerate, it ensures that the Flying Spur S sounds as good as it looks.
Choose the V8 configuration and you will benefit from Bentley Dynamic Ride, the 48-volt electronic anti-roll system. By tightening up when the car is cornering hard and relaxing its grip when driving in a straight line, it offers the best of both world: stability and a refined ride.
With active all-wheel drive as standard, the car gives you the control and agility of a rear-wheel drive car – but the moment a wheel slips, it redistributes the engine’s power across both axles, which means better grip and greater confidence.
Choose the hybrid and you can drive on electric power alone for up to 25 miles (40 km). And with a maximum speed in EV mode of 87 mph (140 km/h) the hybrid Flying Spur S has more than enough electric power to drive at highway speeds.
