2017 Bentley Flying Spur W12 S is First Bentley Sedan to Top 200 MPH!

[TXSTYLE]

THIS is the absolute epitome of a Luxury Saloon/Sedan! WOW...

Essentially, this is the overboosted, hunkered-down variant of the W12-powered Flying Spur, a four-door that is just as comfortable making an appearance at a Hollywood film debut as it is hammering down the autobahn at triple-digit speeds. The magic number is 202 mph, which makes this the first Bentley sedan to pass200 mph (the larger Mulsanne Speed is claimed to be able to hit 190 mph). Before the W12 S, the mighty Continental Flying Spur Speed handily dispatched the two-buck barrier with aplomb. It carried the same twin-turbocharged W-12 lump under the front hood, pushing out a healthy 600 hp back in 2008.
The W12 S builds on those impressive figures. The 6.0-liter now churns out 626 hp and 605 lb-ft of torque, making the all-wheel-drive W12 S capable of 4.2-second 0-60 mph sprints. To handle this extra gumption, Bentley beefed up the suspension, developing what it calls "a more responsive suspension tune." If the lofty v-max still has you sweating, Bentley will slot big carbon ceramic discs at all four corners. Not for free, of course.


Once you do manage to slow down, you'll be able to appreciate the myriad changes made to the interior outfitting. According to Bentley, the interior is now available in a "wider palette of colors," along with special stitching and revised fascia finish. "W12 S" is embroidered prominently into the leather headrests, blending in well with the "W12 S" door sill plates for the front and rear sections. For the driver, each W12 S comes standard with a neat Sport Plus steering wheel, complete with weighty metal gear-shift paddles.

Externally, the W12 S now comes with a suite of gloss black trim in place of the regular chrome pieces, including a darker tint for the front grille lattice. The headlights, foglights, and taillights are darkened as well. Up front, the lower bumper valence is a new, more aggressive design, complementing a new aggressive five-spoke wheel design.

No pricing information is provided, but as the adage goes, "If you have to ask" Buyers who write blank checks will take delivery of the new bad-boy Flying Spur at the end of the year.

Stupid car honestly... Weighs as much as a tahoe

That's a car for you to be driven in... Not for you to drive

Hideous as always. And seats look like something Scorpion from MK would wear as an outfit.

Beautiful for a very large sedan.

I looked at the front seat photo and then the back seat photo and at first glance they looked the same. That's some kind of spacious back seat.

I get the bragging rights that come with engineering a sedan that goes 200mph, but mostly only bad things happen when a car that heavy goes ultra fast. You cannot engineer basic physics out of the situation nor the driving skills of some of the people who can afford to buy this type of car. Google "Bentley hitting tree" and look at the many images Bentley sedans losing control. I know all cars get in accidents, but not all sedans are this heavy and go 200mph, magnifying the problem immensely the moment the driver loses control.

Physics aside, I know most people driving this car will drive it responsibly and in control and never experience an accident. The only thing that will happen to those drivers and their passengers is that they are 100% sure to get out of the car at the end of the drive with waffle butt.

I believe the entire point of this car is to be "heavy, solid, quiet, and beyond comfy". If I owned one, I would not care about it's top speed as it it would rarely ever hit 100mph. For what? But on the subject... I would rather take my chances of a high speed impact in this car vs a light weight exotic.

I love it. BRG w/ a cream interior. Yes, please.

it literally looks like a turd.

[KingOfJericho]

I believe this color is called "Discontinued M&M"

[zer0cool]

I like Bentley look in general, but NOT EVER in this shitty color combination. WTF were they thinking?

[Jashley73]

Meh, I'd rather have an S-Class...
