After showing us a couple teasers recently, Bentley has released photos and videos of its most powerful four-door model yet, the 2014 Flying Spur. This ultimate luxury vehicle is powered by the same twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter W12 engine used in the Continental GT Speed, that produces 616 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, delivering a breath-taking 0-60 mph time of 4.3 seconds and a top-speed of 200 mph (322 km/h). The interior is typically lush, with the appointment of high-quality materials and a new infotainment system. The 2014 Bentley Flying Spur will make its first live debut on March 5 at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Check out the video and technical specifications bellow.
