15 October 2020 12:40 pm / 0 comments The third-generation Bentley Flying Spur is now available with a 4.0 litre V8 powertrain, as an alternative to the iconic W12 engine that it was launched with last year. Crewe says that the new Flying Spur V8 offers a more driver-centric experience via increased agility and a more characterful engine note, whilst benefiting from increased range and lower CO2 emissions. The V8 making an appearance in the Flying Spur was a matter of time, as the twin-turbo engine is already present in the Continental GT and Bentayga. In fact, the latter SUV – which facelift appeared in July – is now only available with the V8, and those who want the 6.0 litre W12 will have to wait for the upcoming performance Speed model.
