Bentley's designers wanted their customers seem to favor and to zero Flying Spur. Externally, it has almost nothing changed.

A drop rearmost possible taillights yet rearranged. But under the skin, there are however new to discover. Forward has been made to improve the safety of pedestrians. The entire supporting structure would be strengthened for improved safety accident. This also seems to be the weight of the car to think, after all, empty, it weighs about 2.5 tons (2,475 kg).

The standard consumption is likely to reach 14.7 said the pace very quiet at all. And 343 g CO2/km are not currently considered a friendly atmosphere. But finally, top speed of 322 km / h are indeed somehow reached and the sprint from 0 to 100 km / h in 4.6 seconds, which is impressive for a two and a half tons of monsters, as .
Inside the wheel convince track with the best French savoir-faire. Leather of sight, precious woods and bag picnic compulsory offer a comfortable atmosphere in affluent clients. During the display key 8 "driver has all the important features at a glance. At the rear, passengers can enjoy entertainment on two 10" monitors. The 1100 watt eight-channel audio system premium offers a very good atmosphere. And its own wireless hotspot is probably not too much.
