www.bahrainthismonth.com January 2014 97 Bentley has established a new luxury performance sedan benchmark with the launch of the breathtaking new Flying Spur, with an unrivalled blend of effortless driveability, exquisite luxury and craftsmanship. Together with the sculpted design and state-of-the-art technology, the new Flying Spur takes the worldwide success of its iconic predecessor further. Bentley’s styling team has developed an athletic design for the new model that combines traditional brand styling cues with a sporting stance and contemporary details. Sharp feature lines complement muscular rear haunches, while LED daytime running lights, dipped headlights and taillights characterise the front and rear profiles. The interior designers have created a luxurious, spacious cabin that dresses advanced acoustic and electronic technologies in exquisite hand-crafted leather hides and wood veneers. The Driver and passengers interface with the car and the outside world through touch-screen infotainment. Mobile connectivity, including Wi-Fi, a rear seat entertainment suite and a new hand-held touch screen remote, allows rear-cabin occupants to control an extensive range of features from the comfort of their seat. An eight-channel, eight-speaker audio system with balanced mode radiators provide high quality sound clarity, with the 1,100W Naim for Bentley premium system available as an option. Powerful elegance Powering the new Flying Spur is Bentley’s renowned 6.0-litre, twin turbo W12 engine, coupled to a ZF eight-speed transmission. Developing 616hp and 800Nm of torque, the car features more power than any other four-door Bentley in history. A 14 per cent improvement in the power-to-weight ratio over the outgoing model delivers a breath-taking 0-60 mph time of 4.3 seconds and a top-speed of 200mph. In the modern Bentley tradition, power is delivered to the road via all-wheel drive with a 40:60 rear-biased torque split for a sure-footed, engaging drive in all road and weather conditions. “Bentley’s new Flying Spur is the ultimate luxury performance sedan,” notes Jeff Barrett, general manager at Ahmed Zayani & Sons, the exclusive dealer for Bentley in the Kingdom. “Bentley engineers have worked tirelessly to ensure that the Flying Spur is the perfect combination of power, comfort, refinement and hand crafted quality.” Fitted with the very latest technology, the new Flying Spur is equipped both for business and relaxation while remaining a car to enjoy from behind the wheel. Mulliner options Customers wishing to extend the range of available options further can choose to include the Mulliner driving specification. This includes five additional hides, expanding the number of available shades to 17, and five further wood veneers. Bentley’s traditional diamond quilting is incorporated to the seats and door panels, together with an indented leather headlining and embroidered Bentley wings to the headrests. Drilled alloy foot pedals, a knurled sports gear lever, jewel filler cap and 21-inch two-piece five-spoke alloy wheels in painted or polished finish complete the Mulliner suite of options.
