New Bentley Flying Spur Beluga Specification

The new Bentley Flying Spur ‘Beluga’ edition has been launched with the moniker likely influenced by the automaker’s Beluga Black colour scheme and not by the caviar of the same name.

This specification is solely available on the V8 model of the car and not the one that features the 6.0-litre W12 engine. The car has been given several exterior and interior trims to make it look more visually appealing and athletic.

Buyers will now get 20-inch ‘Black and Bright’ machined alloy wheels with a gloss black radiator matrix. On the inside, there are “swathes of piano black veneer” along with knurled paddle shifters. The seats, steering wheel, floor mats and the boot carpet have been given a contrasting leather finish.

“The Beluga specification is the perfect enhancement for a modern performance saloon that perfectly blends craft and comfort,” Bentley wrote in its press release.

Meanwhile, if the customers opt for the Mulliner Driving Specification, then they will get 21-inch six-spoke alloy wheels, diamond quilted hides, a knurled gear lever, drilled alloy pedals and an indented hide headlining.

The Flying Spur is a four-door saloon based on the Continental GT. Its V8 variant has a 4.0-liter twin-turbo engine that produces 500 hp and 487 Nm of torque, allowing it to propel from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.2 seconds. The car is mated to a ZF 8-Speed automatic transmission (with Quickshift), which transfers the power to all the wheels of the car.

The 2015 Flying Spur has a host of new features, including onboard Wifi as Bentley hopes to make the car the benchmark in its segment. The ‘Beluga’ special edition is available for booking worldwide and deliveries will commence in Autumn.

JUN 18, 2015

New optional specification affords luxury four-door sedan an enhanced athletic stance
Striking exterior and interior styling cues boost visual appeal
Features 20” alloys, gloss black radiator and cabin styling highlights
Available exclusively on 4.0-litre twin-turbo Flying Spur V8 models
(Crewe, 18 June, 2015) Bentley Motors is launching a new specification level exclusively for its Flying Spur V8 model – Beluga Specification.

The contemporary trim level affords the Flying Spur sedan a more athletic stance and purposeful visual appeal. Featuring exclusive 20” Black and Bright machined alloy wheels, a gloss black radiator matrix and a body-coloured lower grille bar, the Beluga specification is the perfect enhancement for a modern performance saloon that perfectly blends craft and comfort.

Inside the Flying Spur V8’s sumptuous handcrafted cabin, buyers will find swathes of piano black veneer, knurled gear shift paddles, contrast stitching to the luxurious seats and steering wheel as well as deep pile floor mats and boot carpet with contrasting leather binding.

When customers also specify the highly popular Mulliner Driving Specification, in combination with Beluga specification, the striking 21” 6-spoke Extrovert wheel is included. The Mulliner Driving Specification includes features such as diamond quilted hides, a knurled gear lever, drilled alloy pedals and an indented hide headlining.

In 4.0-litre, twin-turbo V8 guise it develops 507 PS (500 bhp), sprinting from 0-60 mph in just 4.9 seconds (0-100km/h in 5.2 seconds) while at the same time offering a single-tank range of 500 miles. The athletic design of the Flying Spur combines traditional Bentley styling cues with a dynamic stance and contemporary details, further enhanced in the Beluga specification.

Designed for comfort and refinement, the Flying Spur has benefitted from a suite of upgrades and enhancements for 2015. The exquisite cabin gains modern and tactile new features (as well as onboard WiFi) to maintain Bentley’s reputation for interior style and usability.

Flying Spur V8 Beluga is available to order now worldwide with first customer deliveries in the autumn.
