We reported in detail when the new 2014 Bentley Flying Spur was launched in India earlier today. Now, we have come up with quite a few pics, specifications and details from the launch event of the new 2014 Bentley Flying Spur.
The new Bentley Flying Spur has been launched in India for a price of INR 3.10 Crores.
The new Flying Spur takes design inspiration from the new Continental GT and Continental GTC. While the front fascia is indeed identical to the earlier model, the rear gets a sporty treatment which is characterized by slimmer rear light units and revised C pillars.
On the inside, passengers are treated to a comprehensively updated interior which comes with a new steering wheel, new dashboard, some highly luxurious upholstery and additional features.
The Flying Spur is the fastest road-going luxury sedan in the world, powered by Bentley’s renowned 6.0-litre, twin turbo W12 engine. It develops 625 PS, sprinting from 0-100km/h in just 4.6 seconds. The athletic design of the new Flying Spur combines traditional Bentley styling cues with a dynamic stance and contemporary details.
The base price of new Flying Spur is Rs. 3.10 cr ex showroom New Delhi (subject to options & exchange rate fluctuations)
Present at the launch Mr Chris Buxton, Regional Manager, Bentley Motors, India, South Africa & Middle East said, “India is a very important market for Bentley, our association with Exclusive Motors has been really rewarding and goes back a long way. India is the hub of luxury, the country of the erstwhile Maharaja’s, who were the true patrons of bespoke luxury. We have, in the past received a heartening response from our valued customers and I think the launch of the New Flying Spur will truly delight our loyal and discerning audience. The new model is faster and more powerful than its predecessor, while also featuring enhanced cabin technology and even higher levels of comfort and refinement.”
Speaking on the occasion, Mr Satya Bagla, Managing Director, Exclusive Motors said “We are pleased to launch The New Flying Spur in India; the car is a modern statement of luxury driving and grand touring. The New Flying Spur is faster than most of the 2 door luxury sports car and has taken luxury to a whole new level setting the highest benchmark. Thus, one can enjoy the rare combination of Speed & Luxury with the new model. We are thrilled to launch the New Flying Spur and are confident that the car will receive an overwhelming response from the patrons of luxury.”
