Bentley has released a new limited edition variant of the powered flying Spur V8 S, which boasts new, special styling tweaks and has been commissioned by Mulliner – Bentley’s bespoke customisation division.
Named the flying Spur V8 S Black Edition, it gets new black styling touches on both the exterior bodywork and in the cabin.

• Bentley reveals new Continental GT Galene Edition
It’s not the first Bentley to wear the ‘Black Edition’ badging – the model follows on from the Continental GT speed Black Edition, which boasts similar styling touches and was released last year. 
The new model features black gloss accents all over with bespoke radiator and window surrounds, alongside black mirrors, black door handles, dark tinted headlights and taillights.

It rides on a new set of black wheels – special to the flying Spur V8 S Black edition – measuring 21-inches. Black brake calipers are offered, but customers can select a contrasting red, must they wish. 
A similar black and red theme is on show in the cabin – black leather matches off against contrasting red stripes and stitching, alongside Piano Black wooden veneers. At customers’ request, Bentley uses its normal interior material and colour selections.
Under the bonnet sits a 4.0-litre V8 engine, which is unchanged over the standard Bentley flying Spur V8 S. as a result it still packs 521bhp, propelling the car to 62mph from standstill in 4.9 seconds, with a top speed of 190mph. Power is delivered to the road by means of an all-wheel-drive system.
Bentley has yet to reveal just how much the flying Spur V8 S Black edition will set back its customers, but it must command a minor premium over the £142,800 list price of the regular V8 S.
