Bentley Flying Spur Performance Overview
Bentley’s Flying Spur performance profile across 10 verified tests spanning 2014 to 2023 shows a steady move from fast twin-turbo gasoline sedans to quicker, more varied configurations. First Generation Flying Spur models (2014–2019) covered outputs from 500 to 616 hp, all gasoline and twin-turbocharged, with early benchmarks including the 2014 Sedan at 4.3 seconds to 60 mph and the slower 2015 V8 Sedan at 4.6 seconds. By the end of that era, the 2017 V8 S Sedan matched 4.3 seconds, defining the generation’s quickest verified 0-60 result.
The Second Generation, launched for 2020, shifted the car into a quicker bracket while broadening the range from gasoline to plug-in hybrid powertrains, with outputs rising to 536–626 hp. The 2020 Sedan reset the line’s pace at 3.5 seconds to 60 mph and ran the quarter-mile in 11.7 seconds at 121 mph, while the 2021 V8 Sedan also reached 3.5 seconds. More recent tests, including the 2023 Speed Sedan at 3.6 seconds and the 2023 Hybrid Mulliner Sedan at 3.8 seconds, place today’s Flying Spur among the quicker large luxury sedans while maintaining sub-4.0-second capability across multiple trims.
