You can travel 4-up in supreme comfort, at 207mph, in the new Bentley Flying Spur Speed. Here's all you need to know about Bentley's fastest four-door.
, combining the most potent version of the W12 engine in Bentley’s arsenal with additional chassis hardware featuring a bespoke setup. The Speed is available to order now, but you’d better be fast saving those pennies, as Bentley has confirmed that it will be one of its last models to feature the venerable W12 engine.
The twin-turbocharged 6-litre W12 powertrain is identical to the one found in a Continental GT Speed, available only in this Speed and the even more sumptuousspecification car. Here, it produces a peak of 626bhp, supported by a huge 664lb ft of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, a combination that stirs the huge four-door to 62mph in 3.8sec and onto that headline top speed of 207mph.
Being derived from the latest generation of Continental/Flying Spur architecture, the Speed’s all-wheel drive system is rear-biased, and varies its torque split depending on the selected driver mode. In Sport the system will only send a maximum of 206lb ft, or less than a third of its total torque output, to the front wheels.
It does have a rear-wheel-steering system, and a 48V-powered active anti-roll system that helps manage the Speed’s weight laterally by actively adjusting the stiffness of the anti-roll bars. Like all Flying Spurs, the suspension is a triple-chamber air-spring system with adaptive dampers and an adjustable ride height.
