In addition to the Bentley Continental GT
V8 Cabriolet which Mansory unveiled in the wake of the canceled Geneva Motor
Show, the tuning company has also unveiled an extensively modified Flying Spur
W12.
Deliveries of Bentley‘s new Flying Spur
kicked off in Europe last month and Mansory’s take on the four-door sedan is
just as wild and eye-catching as we’ve come to expect of any modified car from
the aftermarket specialist.
Dominating the exterior of the Flying Spur
from Mansory is a menacing bodykit that starts at the front end with an
overhauled fascia that incorporates a black grille and black air intakes. The
front also includes a subtle new lip spoiler painted red.
At the sides, your eyes will be drawn to
the massive 22-inch multi-spoke wheels with red trim. Also featured on this
example are distinctive side skirts and red pinstripes running along the car’s
flanks. Found at the rear is a subtle lip spoiler and a beefed-up bumper with
new tailpipes.
The Bentley Flying Spur has one of the
nicest interiors of any current production vehicle but that hasn’t stopped
Mansory from having its way with the cabin. Perhaps the most striking aspect of
the overhauled interior is an oddly-shaped steering wheel wrapped in leather and
carbon fiber. Also found within is new leather and bespoke trim across the
dashboard.
Rounding out the modifications are some
changes to the 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12 engine, now producing 710 hp and 1,000
Nm compared to the 626 hp and 900 Nm of the standard
car. This added power means the sprint to 100 km/h drops from 3.8
seconds to 3.6 seconds.
