Bentley has begun customer deliveries for
its 2020 Flying Spur to owners across Europe and the UK, with Eastern, North
American and Asian buyers scheduled to receive their cars later this year. In
the UK and the rest of Europe, prices start from £ 168,300 and € 180,400
respectively, while U.S. customers will pay north of US$ 214,600 for a car Bentley
expects will make up around 20% of its global sales in 2020.
According to Bentley, more than 80% of
Flying Spur customers select the Mulliner Driving spec, which includes Mulliner
designed 22-inch wheels, lofted diamond quilting for the seats,
three-dimensional leather door panels, a full leather headliner, embroidered
Bentley emblems and Bentley’s Jewel oil and fuel filler caps.
Meanwhile, 60% of customers are opting for
the Flying Spur First Edition, featuring First Edition exterior and interior
badging (inspired by the Union flag), plus many optional extras made standard,
such as the new electrically-deployed Flying B mascot, the Bentley Rotating
Display, Touring Spec and mood lighting.
Powering the 2020 Flying Spur is Bentley’s
6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W12 engine, working alongside a dual-clutch 8-speed
gearbox. Thanks to this combo, the Flying Spur can hit 96 km/h from a
standstill in 3.7 seconds, before maxing out at 333 km/h.
