Here's another special-edition Bentley. This time it's
the Flying Spur that gets the special treatment in the form of the new Black Edition.
Based on the Flying Spur V8 S, the Black Edition is
distinguished by -as you might have guessed- black trim. The lights all around
are framed in black and tinted darker, and all the brightwork is blacked out
and glossy – including the window frames, the door mirrors, and the unique set
of 21-inch alloys.
Inside the cabin features piano black lacquer trim,
the Sport Plus steering wheel, and two-tone leather. Combine the Black Edition
with the Mulliner Driving Specification package and you get diamond-quilted
leather and a different set of wheels (also 21 inches in diameter).
This being the more potent S model, motivation comes
courtesy of Bentley's 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, sending 521 horsepower and 502
lb-ft of torque to all four wheels for a 4.6-second 0-60 time and a 190-mph top
speed. And while we wouldn't call a vehicle this large “stealthy,” per se, it's
bound to fly further under the radar than the usual chromed-out luxury sedan.
