Bentley Gives the Flying Spur V8 S a Mild Sport Injection

Bentley has today rolled out the new Flying Spur V8 S Black Edition, a limited-run version of the sedan that blends typical Bentley luxuriousness with a sporty appearance.

The changes consist of minor exterior revisions such as gloss black exterior brightwork, dark tinted taillamps, gloss black window surrounds and door mirrors, and seven-spoke 21-inch gloss black wheels. Customers can also build on the sporting look with available red painted brake calipers.

Moving inside, the treatment continues with dark upholstery with contrasting colored inserts, Piano Black dash veneer and a three-spoke Sport Plus steering wheel. An optional Mulliner Driving Specification package is also available which adds diamond-quilted upholstery and black 21-inch five-spoke Directional Sport wheels.
