Downsizing continues to spread, even at this level. The Bentley Flying Spur is now available with the same V8 that powers the Continental GT V8, becoming Crewe’s entry-level sedan. It complements the flagship Flying Spur W12.
The Audi-sourced 4.0 litre twin-turbo V8 produces 507 PS at 6,000 rpm and 660 Nm of torque at 1,750 rpm. It’s connected to an eight-speed ZF auto and continuous AWD. The century sprint’s done in under five seconds, and top speed’s just shy of 300 km/h.
Thanks to cylinder deactivation, efficient thermal management and regenerative technologies, combined fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are a quoted 10.9 litres per 100 km and 254 grams per km respectively. Range is a claimed 840 km.
Here’s how you tell it apart from the W12 car: the V8 car has figure-of-eight tailpipes, its Flying B badge has a red centre and the lower grille is finished in black.
You are welcomed on board by a wood veneer called Dark Fiddleback Eucalyptus (how’s that for posh?) and a rear bench that seats three, while a Touch Screen Remote deploys from the rear centre console at the touch of a button, giving rear passengers control of climate and infotainment systems.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
So how many did the sultan ordered via our tax money?
You must be refering to guan eng right…ya lor that poker face cannot trust one…

All malaysian politics are retarded so you dont have to put me in a group and assume im supporting either of them.
My Jetta look nicer than this trash. Anyway, of this Bentley uses same VW engine (audi), it will have same DSG problems like my Jetta
Do you know what is DSG? DSG is a transmission. Bentley is using ZF transmission. So… How will it have DSG problem?
Ask yourself, how much taxes have you contributed? you talked as if you are one of the biggest tax contributor.

So, you can be nominated as one of “2014 JOKER OF THE YEAR” nominees..
Now that we hv this…is the s class still relevant…nah not even close…
the difference in price tag for “entry level” of both of these cars are still huge thats what make S Class still relevant .
i think an entry level flying spur would definitely be more than 1.5m
whereas an entry level s class after few years of release there will be a strip down version that cost sub 600k or 700k
google skoda superb 2014….looks very similar specially the rear…
When a huge company released a fantastic car, in other webpage or forum will be discussing about the specs, interior, heritage and etc.
In paultan and most of the Malaysian forum, we scold the government, wonder how many politicians will use our tax money to buy this car, and criticizing each others political view.
Eh I mean c’mon lah, this is a blog about automotive, not about politics, give us some clean air to breath can or not? I’m not criticizing your view on politics, but can you discuss at the blog that features politics, not automotive, ok?
