Keeping a Stiff Upper Lip at 200 MPH: The 2014 Bentley Flying Spur

2014 Bentley Flying Spur: Luxury Highlights

As you might guess in a car that relies on more than 32 square feet of “sustainably sourced natural wood” for its cabin accents, and offers 17 shades of leather, the 2014 Bentley Flying Spur boasts far too much in the way of ultra-premium accoutrements to provide in-depth coverage here. But prospective Bentley buyers should be aware that along with all of its traditional luxury cues, the Flying Spur also offers a full complement of high-tech connectivity and infotainment features.

It all starts with the Bentley Control Unit, designed to provide mobile Wi-Fi services, 64 gigabytes of storage, and the ability to stream media to the vehicle’s dual 10-inch LCD screens—which also can be used by rear-seat passengers to watch content from two separate media players, each capable of handling DVDs, SD cards, HMDI devices and USB-enabled devices (including iPads and iPods). The 2014 Bentley Flying Spur makes it simple to control all those features as well, with a new Touch Screen Remote system that also can be used to manage the climate, seat heating/ventilation, and navigation systems.

The party line from Bentley: “With its unrivalled blend of effortless driveability, exquisite luxury and craftsmanship, sculpted design, and state-of-the-art technology, the new Flying Spur takes the worldwide successor further.”
