Bentley has just launched the new Flying Spur, a significant redesign of the older model, in India. The most powerful four-door Bentley ever made is also one of the most expensive models in the country. At INR 31,000,000, this luxury automobile cost the equivalent of over $500,000 at the current exchange rate.
The 2014 Bentley Flying Spur is essentially a redesigned version of the outgoing Continental Flying Spur and has a 50 kg (110 pounds) lighter chassis. Engineers have made the chassis stiffer, which in turn allowed them to soften the suspension without compromising the dynamics.
Powering this magic carpet is a more powerful W12 engine, producing no less than 616hp (625PS) and 800Nm (590 lb-ft). 0 to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 200 mph (332 km/h) aren't in the least bit unimpressive, but neither is the price tag.
