Luxury car of the month - March

|THE DEN|

The Bentley Flying Spur boasts an energetic chassis to entertain the driver, but being created from the ground up to pamper its occupants. The Bentley flying spur may cost Rs3.20-3.40 Cr ex-showroom, but it has a lot going for it, including the capacity to turn heads everywhere it goes.

High-end leathers, woods, and metal accents are mixed with current technologies and conveniences to excite the senses. The rear seat is exceptionally pleasant, especially when fitted with luxury options like power-adjustable rear bucket seats and heated armrests. The Flying Spur’s unrivalled blend of luxury and performance, on the other hand, comes with an eye-watering eight-figure price tag, and that’s before you start adding personalisation choices from Bentley’s Mulliner range.

An eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, all-wheel drive, and a powerful twin-turbocharged engine are standard on all Flying Spurs. The base engine is a 500-hp V-8, but we recommend upgrading to the 635-hp W-12 engine. The Flying Spur with 12 cylinders under the hood, is never short of power. In a drag race, it can even flash its taillights to many top-tier sports cars. It accelerates from zero to 100 kilometres per hour in just 3.5 seconds. The V-8-powered vehicle accelerates to 100 mph in 3.9 seconds, while the W-12 seems far better to drive.

The mileage of the Flying Spur varies depending on the version and fuel type but you shouldn’t expect it to be economical in any sense, and it has a ground clearance of 110mm. The Flying Spur is a four-seater with a 5316mm length, 2013mm width, and 3194mm wheelbase.

There’s plenty of room for people to stretch out and enjoy the sumptuous surroundings, whether in the front or back. Bentley’s interior designers were able to maintain the brand’s prim and correct appearance while introducing cutting-edge technology. Rear-seat passengers can alter various items without having to ask the driver for help thanks to a remote touchscreen controller positioned on the back of the centre console. For example, you may use it to regulate the cabin climate and activate the rear-seat massagers, as well as open and close the window shades.

On the Flying Spur’s dashboard, a big 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen is nestled amid massive expanses of wood trim. Bentley includes a 10-speaker sound system as standard, but for an additional fee, one of two premium audio systems can be installed. The 16-speaker Bang & Olufsen system or the 19- speaker Naim system with LED speaker grilles are available as upgrades.
