Design and Features
The Bentley Flying Spur S is a high-performance variant of the third-generation Flying Spur, produced from 2022 to 2024. Its design is characterized by a more aggressive stance and aerodynamic improvements over its standard counterpart. The exterior features a unique front bumper with larger air intakes, while the rear diffuser has been optimized for improved downforce.
The interior design has also been updated with bespoke elements specific to the S model, such as the use of carbon fiber trim and a revised instrument cluster. However, it retains many of the standard Flying Spur's comfort-focused amenities, including its premium leather upholstery options and advanced infotainment system.
Performance and Powertrain
The Bentley Flying Spur S is powered by an enhanced version of the W12 engine used in other Flying Spur models, delivering 750 horsepower (559 kW) at 6,000 rpm. This increase in power comes as a result of increased boost pressure from its twin turbochargers, alongside modifications to the engine's combustion chambers for more efficient combustion.
The S model also benefits from an updated all-wheel-drive system that can direct up to 100% of torque to either axle, significantly improving traction and stability during spirited driving. Its braking performance has been enhanced with larger brake discs (up to 17 inches on the front) and advanced calipers designed for improved stopping power.
