Bentley begins production of V8 Bentley Flying Spur
November 27 2020,
The Bentley Flying Spur is regarded as the “world’s best luxury four door grand tourer” and has proven that reputation time and time again since it launched a few years ago. Now, the Bentley Flying Spur is adding a new engine option to the lineup in the form of a new 4.0-litre turbocharged V8 that delivers an impressive 542 horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque.
The new V8 will join the current V12 option that delivers 626 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. The 12-cylinder option will still be the king in the Flying Spur lineup, the V8 is no slouch and powers the stunning luxury sedan to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds, making the Flying Spur still one of the quickest sedans on the market.
Hand-assembly of the V8 takes over 100 hours at Bentley’s home in Crewe, the world’s first carbon neutral factory for a luxury automaker. Thanks to cylinder deactivation, the V8 will be as efficient as it is powerful, and provides over 700 kilometres of range when full.
