Dark new take on the more powerful V8 S version of Bentley's
Flying Spur has been commissioned by Mulliner
Bentley has
released a new limited edition variant of the powered Flying Spur V8
S, which boasts new, unique styling tweaks and has been commissioned by
Mulliner – Bentley’s bespoke customisation division.
Named the Flying Spur V8 S Black Edition, it gets new black
styling touches on both the exterior bodywork and in the cabin.
It’s not the first Bentley to wear the ‘Black Edition’
badging - the model follows on from the Continental GT Speed
Black Edition, which boasts similar styling touches and was released last
year.
The new model features black gloss accents all over with
bespoke radiator and window surrounds, alongside black mirrors, black door
handles, dark tinted headlights and taillights.
It rides on a new set of black wheels - unique to the Flying
Spur V8 S Black Edition - measuring 21-inches. Black brake calipers are
offered, but customers can opt for a contrasting red, should they wish.
A similar black and red theme is on show in the cabin – black
leather matches off against contrasting red stripes and stitching, alongside
Piano Black wooden veneers. At customers' request, Bentley offers its usual
interior material and colour selections.
Under the bonnet sits a 4.0-litre V8 engine, which is unchanged
over the standard Bentley Flying Spur V8 S. Therefore it still packs 521bhp,
propelling the car to 62mph from standstill in 4.9 seconds, with a top speed of
190mph. Power is delivered to the road via an all-wheel-drive system.
Bentley has yet to reveal just how much the Flying Spur V8 S
Black Edition will set back its customers, but it should command a slight
premium over the £142,800 list price of the regular V8 S.
