Bentley had release the first
limited edition model based on the all-new 2020 Flying Spur. Suggestively named Flying Spur
First Edition, it will be built for only 12 months beginning at the end of
2019. Announced at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Gala, where it will be
auctioned for fund-raising charity on July 24, the 2020 Bentley Flying Spur
First Edition brings a series of subtle exclusive features.
On the outside, it comes with a First Edition badge
consisting of a Union Jack flag with the number 1 at the center. Placed on the
C-pillars, the badge is also found on the passenger-side dashboard. Passengers
will also be made aware of the car’s limited edition nature by the First
Edition tread plates, and the First Edition Bentley Winged Emblems embroidered
into the headrests. The limited-run model also comes with 22-inch Mulliner
Driving Specification alloy wheels.
Moving on, the Flying Spur First Edition includes as
standard some of the most luxurious interior and exterior features that are
usually optional on the regular model. Those include the electronic Flying B
hood ornament with illuminated wings, the spectacular Bentley Rotating Display,
and the Touring Specification.
The latter brings driving assistance systems such as
lane assist, night vision, head-up display and adaptive cruise control with
traffic jam assist. Other standard features include configurable mood lighting,
a panoramic sunroof, color-match Alcantara blinds operated electrically, and
more.
Obviously, the list of optional features is
virtually limitless. Bentley is inviting the owner of the Flying Spur First
Edition that will soon be auctioned “to create their own bespoke and completely
unique car through Bentley’s exclusive Co-Creation Luxury Service, offered only
to a tiny selection of clients.”
Nothing changes under the long and sculpted hood of
the Flying Spur, which features a 6.0-liter W12 gasoline engine rated at 635 PS and 900 Nm of torque. Mated to an eight-speed ZF
dual-clutch transmission, the power plant enables a 0-100 km/h sprint of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 333 km/h.
