Bentley Flying Spur Speed

Can new drivetrain lift Crewe’s super-saloon to even greater heights?

The best saloon in the world? That’s the question posed by the new Bentley Flying Spur Speed after the adoption of a new hybridised V8 engine.This allows for greater efficiency to be added to the car’s repertoire, on top of all of the other qualities that have made it great.The introduction of the new V8 drivetrain has come about following the demise of the W12 engine due to emissions regulations. That V8 has already made a stellar debut in the Bentley Continental GT Speed.It now lifts straight into the Flying Spur and this Speed launch variant, and aims to replicate both the famed torque of the old 6.0-litre W12 unit and perhaps more pertinently the refinement and lack of stress it operated under.
