BENTLEY FLYING SPUR by the hands of Mansory...When we think of a Bentley, chances are that the first thing that comes to mind is British luxury and elegance personified, especially in models the size of the Flying Spur. The third generation British sedan offers a unique blend of luxury and sportiness, elements enhanced by the Bentley Flying Spur by Mansory.

As standard, the sedan features a 6.0-litre, twin turbo W12 engine coupled to an 8-speed ZF dual-clutch transmission. This new block offers 635 hp and 900 Nm of torque, which allow the model to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. This mechanic is also capable of reaching 333 km/h.

As usual, Mansory's latest work renounces all possible discretion thanks to a new carbon fiber aerodynamic kit that bets everything in black on the Flying Spur's massive bodywork, while incorporating important mechanical improvements that convert the sedan into a an imposing and flashy sport.

The exterior package stands out for its new bumpers, a red front splitter, a revamped front grille and air intakes, side skirts, huge 22-inch multi-spoke wheels, a subtle airfoil over the trunk lid and a prominent diffuser that integrates four exhaust outlets. Inside, the new leather upholstery and the new steering wheel stand out.

But the main course once again arrives under the hood. The specialist managed to extract some extra horsepower from the powerful W12 twin-turbo engine to achieve a total power of 720 hp and 1000 Nm of maximum torque.

With its new figures, the Bentley Flying Spur is now able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds. This means two tenths less than the standard model.
