CarTell take
We haven't driven the Flying Spur yet. On paper, specify the rotating central display if you want the Bentley signature theatre. Tow rating is not published for the Flying Spur in Australia. ANCAP has not rated the Flying Spur.
Why consider it
- 575 kW V8 PHEV Speed hits 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds, faster than the old W12.
- Up to 76 km WLTP pure-EV range covers most metro commutes silently.
- Hand-built at Crewe, 15 hides per car, full Mulliner bespoke available.
What to know
- From $495,000 plus on-roads, the $601,000 Speed pushes past $680k drive-away.
- Luxury Car Tax punishes the on-road price heavily above the threshold.
- 420 L boot is small for the class, with PHEV battery eating luggage space.
