FLYING SPUR IN DETAIL: MAKING THE BEST CAR EVEN BETTER

City Specification becomes part of the standard vehicle specification at 22 Model Year. These features include; Traffic sign recognition, hands free boot opening, extended safeguard features, top view camera, welcome lighting and automatic dimming mirrors, as well as the Air Ioniser enhancing cabin air purity and customer wellness.

The experience of traveling on the Flying Spur reaches new heights of refinement. Noise, vibration and harshness (known as NVH) have been thoroughly eliminated to ensure that the Flying Spur is not only the world’s finest, luxury four-door Grand Tourer, but also offers phenomenal acoustic performance. Advanced virtual design processes have been utilised in the testing and production cycles of the third generation Flying Spur. Through the use of virtual prototyping, a weight optimisation programme for the Flying Spur could be undertaken on 40 different components. This ensured the correct soundproofing materials were deployed in the right locations around the vehicle, so passengers can enjoy the quietest cabin experience possible for work or relaxation on the move.

The exquisite cabin is further consolidated, if posible, with the option of open-pore veneer,  which is finished with an ultra-thin matte lacquer.

Selected from only the very best, most figured stock available, open-pore veneer is painted with just three ultra-thin layers of lacquer, applied by hand and sanded between applications, together totalling only 0.1 mm in thickness. The resulting finish is wax-like and perfectly highlights the authentic, natural colour and texture of the wood species.

This delicate technique ensures Bentley customers can actually feel the texture of the wood. The variation in colour and grain of different cuts of open-pore veneer mean that each is also slightly different – offering a truly unique Bentley interior.
