Bentley vässar till Flying Spur W12 med S-version
Första Bentleyn med fyra dörrar som toppar 325 km/h
I början av året breddade Bentley sitt utbud med en S-version av Flying Spur V8. Nu gör man samma sak med storebror W12, vilket resulterar i den snabbaste fyrdörrars-vagnen från tillverkaren någonsin - toppfarten ligger på 325 km/h vilket är precis över 200 mph..Effekten har skruvats upp till 635 hästar och vridet ligger på 820 Newtonmeter ur den dubbelturbomatade W12:an på 6,0 liter. Från stillastående till 100 km/h ska det ta 4,5 sekunder. Fjädringen har setts över för att bjuda på ännu bättre stabilitet och köregenskaper utan att tumma på komforten.Det som särskiljer modellen och verkligen visar att du köpt den värsta i gänget är helsvart grill, mörktonade strålkastare och baklampor, och ett gäng med andra svarta detaljer. Kolfiberkeramiska bromsar finns på tillvalslistan och vill man vara riktigt sportigt kan man få röda bromsok till dessa.De första kunderna får sina bilar i slutet av året. Vad de har fått betala för sina exemplar framgår dock inte.

BENTLEY FLYING SPUR W12 S: ULTIMATE FOUR-DOOR STYLE AND POWER
Increased power, torque and responsiveness
First four-door Bentley with top speed above 200 mph (325 km/h)
Outputs increase to 635 PS (626 bhp) and 820 Nm (605 lb. ft.); 0-100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds (0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds)
Dark, sporting exterior aesthetic; unique interior styling features
Revised suspension offers improved body control and handling without sacrificing comfort
(Crewe, 7 September 2016) Bentley Motors is today announcing the introduction of a new flagship to the Flying Spur range, blending luxury, style and power: the Flying Spur W12 S.
The new model is the first four-door Bentley to have a top speed in excess of 200 mph, and offers a more sporting experience for owners looking for increased power, torque and responsiveness.
The Flying Spur W12 S features a number of dark styling cues which hint at its new and improved dynamic capabilities. A suite of blackware detailing – including Beluga gloss radiator grille and light surrounds – a rear diffuser and optional carbon fibre veneer gives the new model a dramatic and purposeful appearance to match its enhanced performance.
Wolfgang Dürheimer, chairman and chief executive of Bentley Motors, said: “The Flying Spur W12 S is the ultimate luxury performance sedan. It combines sharper dynamics and an increase in power from our renowned W12 engine with a more assertive exterior and interior design for customers looking for a Flying Spur with extra attitude.”
200 MPH+ Performance – The Fastest Flying Spur Yet
The Flying Spur W12 S features enhanced power and torque outputs from the mighty 6.0-litre, twin-turbo W12 engine. Through precise calibration and tuning, engine power is increased from 625 PS to 635 PS (626 bhp) and torque from 800 Nm to 820 Nm (605 lb. ft.) for a more dynamic drive. Full torque is available from just 2,000 rpm, making for a totally effortless driving experience.
This increase in power means that the Flying Spur W12 S achieves a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph) – the first four-door Bentley to exceed the 200 mph performance barrier. The initial sprint to 100 km/h is dispatched in 4.5 seconds (0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds).
In modern Bentley tradition, power is delivered to the road via an all-wheel-drive system with a 40:60 rear-biased torque split for a sure-footed, engaging drive in all road and weather conditions.
Complementing these power upgrades, a new responsive suspension tune for the Flying Spur W12 S improves handling and provides even more traction, while optional carbon ceramic brakes are available with red or black painted calipers.
The new flagship Flying Spur has specific damper and stability control calibrations for a more involving, agile drive. Yet, due to its clever suspension set-up, which retains the refined ride for which the Flying Spur W12 is renowned, the S derivative remains a luxury sedan for those who wish to be chauffeured, as well as those who choose to drive.
Striking Design Signals Performance Intent
Bentley’s design team has created an athletic character that combines traditional Bentley styling cues with a sporting stance. Sharp feature lines complement muscular rear haunches, while LED daytime running lights, subtle blackware elements and a choice of stylish alloy wheels afford the Flying Spur a modern, contemporary feel.
From new gloss-black detailing on the bodywork, to the unique leather stitching, the new exterior and interior styling reflects the more assertive, darker character of the Flying Spur W12 S.
There is full exterior gloss blackware for the radiator and window surrounds, lights, rear bumper, door handle inserts and headlight washer caps. A new W12 S badge on the D-pillar features a black ‘S’, while the sporting front-bumper design, Beluga gloss rear diffuser and door mirrors, and gloss-black front radiator matrix are adopted from the new Flying Spur V8 S.
The front and rear lamps receive a dark tint while a new, lower bumper insert suggests a more assertive driving manner.
The wheels offered on the Flying Spur W12 S are 21” 7-spoke with a new gloss-black finish, or a new optional 21” Sports 5-spoke directional wheel finished in either gloss black or a dark tint.
Inside, the Flying Spur W12 S boasts styling cues designed to enhance its sporting luxury aesthetic, with the exquisite handcrafted interior offering a wider palette of colours, a new fascia finish and unique stitching.
New standard interior features include a unique black engine-spin finish to the fascia and waistrails (a satin carbon-fibre finish is an option); a W12 S headrest emblem in contrast or blind stitching; W12 S treadplates for the front and rear; a three-spoke Sport Plus steering wheel and knurled gearshift paddles, which are only available as options on other models.
A new colour split unique to the Flying Spur W12 S model is created using a single-tone interior with accents in one of 17 hide colours, and unique contrast stitching to the diamond quilting, the Sport Plus steering wheel and the interior.
Flying Spur – Technology on Demand
The Flying Spur comes complete with a suite of onboard technology to make it an ideal place for work or relaxation on the move.
An innovative Touch Screen Remote, deployed from the veneered rear centre console at the touch of a button, allows control of the car’s climate and infotainment systems from the comfort of the rear seat. The Flying Spur also features a WiFi hotspot for connectivity on demand while travelling.
