By RIZAL JOHAN | 17 November 2020LONDON: Bentley Flying Spur V8 is considered the “world’s best luxury four door grand tourer”, is now in full production at Bentley’s Crewe headquarters and will be making its way to consumers soon.
Manufacture of the new V8 is at 100% capacity thanks to Bentley's proven Covid-19 protocols which have prevented any cases of on-site transmissions.
A team of crafts people assemble the Bentley Flying Spur V8 by hand taking over a 100 hours across 84 individual stages.
The Bentley Flying Spur V8 consists of a 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine and develops 550PS and 770Nm of torque.
It takes 4.1 seconds from 0-100kph. It can also shut down four of its eight cylinders under light-load conditions to maximise fuel economy.
The Bentley Flying Spur V8 is 100 kg lighter than the W12 model, with improved weight distribution and increased agility.
