Nothing says "you've arrived" quite like a new Bentley. The Bentley Flying Spur is the 4-door saloon version of the Continental GT W12 and is a more sensible approach for those that aren't sure if they'd like to drive or be driven.
Powered by a 6.0-litre twin-turbo W12 engine that produces 467 kW and a colossal 900 Nm torque, the luxurious saloon is capable of rocketing to 100 km/h in a mere 3.8-seconds. It seems it's unsure of whether it wants to be a supercar or a luxury limousine. Either way, there's no denying the class and sophistication presented by the package.

Prices for the Flying Spur start at R4 225 000 and there is no shortage of options. A host of bespoke colours, with over 80 shades available, and a spill of interior colours and combinations to select, you can truly spec a new Bentley Flying Spur to be a unique offering. With the Mulsane being discontinued in this quarter of 2020, the Flying Spur adopts the honour of being Bentley's flagship offering.
Go to town with your colour, wheel and interior selection, but take a look at these options that we think you should definitely select.
1. City Specification
The city can be a daunting place, especially when you're riding around in a large, luxury saloon. The City Specification package helps make this adventure safer and less troublesome by including features such as traffic sign recognition, a top view camera, pedestrian warning, reversing traffic warning, auto-dimming mirrors, city assist and hands-free boot opening.
2. Touring Specification
While the city is one thing, the open road presents a host of new challenges. Equip your Flying Spur with the technology to take on even the longest journey. The Touring Specification includes a heads-up display, night vision, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and the Bentley Safeguard Plus system to help you in emergency situations.
3. Mood Light Specification
You'll find similar systems on many of the high-end luxury cars, from BMWs to Mercedes-Benz. Create your own ambience in the cabin with a selection of multi-coloured interior lighting options. You get seven different colours and two variations to choose from when you fit this package. It also includes illuminated tread plates.
4. Styling Specification
If you're not ready to leave behind your aspirations of speed and performance, the Styling Specification adds a touch of race-bred design into your Flying Spur. This package sees the addition of high-quality, hand-laid and mirror-matched carbon fibre accessories to the exterior. The package will see the addition of a rear lip spoiler, rear diffuser, front splitter and branded side sills.
5. Naim Audio
When you're done revelling in the performance side of things, why not sit back and listen to your favourite music in accurate and repeatable reproduction. The Naim for Bentley audio package creates what they call a "virtual listening room" with a concert hall effect. The system has a power output of 2200 Watts and plumbs audio through 19 speakers and two shakers (transducers). A 21-channel amplifier with eight DSP modes and active bass ensure the most accurate reproduction of your music.
