Bentley models are known for epitomizing class and distinction without compromising performance. These are not your standard fare of sedans.
One of those classics is the Flying Spur, which Bentley has been making since the 1950s. Nowadays, it carries a powerful engine, and you’ll feel like royalty every time you step inside it. Here’s a brief spotlight on this perennial powerhouse, the 2021 Bentley Flying Spur, a terrific used vehicle available at Scotti’s Auto Sales in Sarasota.
Under The Hood of a Masterpiece Bentley
While previous renditions of the Flying Spur were known for their immense W12 engines, the 2021 version bridges the gap between power and fuel efficiency by transitioning to V8. The updated V8 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine gave the newer Bentley a modest increase in horsepower and torque.
It now achieves an incredible 542 bhp, 569 lb-ft of torque, and reaches 60 mph in four seconds. The older W12 engine was a bit quicker with a 3.5-second 0-60 mph sprint, but the V8 version can be about 16% more fuel efficient.
That’s the benefit of having a twin-turbocharged system, which allows the car to shut off half of its cylinders during light-driving conditions (under 3,500 RPM). So, even though the new engine reaches a slightly lower max speed (198 mph compared to 207 mph), you get a lot of energy savings in return.
Luxury Interior Options
The 2021 Flying Spur also welcomed a slight overhaul to its interior framework with items like rear-seat picnic tables and the illustrious Cotes de Genevieve metal interior trim. Brand new versions are available in 15 leather interior schemes, diamond knurling, eight veneers, and several dual veneers. Some models even have refrigeration compartments, which go along well with the backseat tables if you decide to take it for a trip across the country.
First Class Technology As Well
The Flying Spur’s infotainment components won’t disappoint you either. It comes with not only a 12.3-inch touchscreen in the front, but one for the rear-seat passengers as well. Select versions may also have advanced audio equipment from Bang & Olufsen or Naim. All of this and more is why you’ll enjoy a first-class riding experience with this luxury sedan.
