Yes, the Flying Spur gets V8 that previously made its way to the Continental GT took.

Until recently, it was a W12, the smallest that you are in a Bentley could get. But because a V8 with more than 500 hp is also fine is the group busy in his range to scoop up. The block also to the Mulsanne will kick is but the question (which has a V8, albeit a 6,75 liter), but the Conti GT has one, and the Flying Spur will get one.

Bentley recorded last year, huge sales, and put this love to continue. A new entry-level model can help, especially in the CO2-miserly the Netherlands.

The Flying Spur V8 delivers 507 hp and 660 Nm on all four wheels, using the well-known 8-speed automatic. The 2,4 ton heavy Brit sprint in 5,2 sec to 100 km/h and reached a peak of 295 km/h. The average consumption is partly due cilinderuitschakeling 10.7 liters.

Update 12-03-2014: today was the Dutch price of the car known: € 221.134,- ; far less than the W12.
