A chance to own a piece of Bentley history.
The saying goes, “All good things must come to an end,” and it’s been a recurring statement for the automotive world and some of its greatest creations. With the evolution of tech and the industry’s push to be more efficient and sustainable, Bentley Motors announced that it would be replacing its legendary W12 engine with a new Hybrid V8 powertrain. To honor the sendoff of the W12 and the nearly 105,000 cars produced, Bentley Motors commissioned a special End of Era Collection featuring 12 of the very last of the marque’s 6.0L engines being offered exclusively at Bentley Salt Lake City. The Bentley Salt Lake City team is pleased to showcase this 2024 Bentley Flying Spur Speed ‘End of an Era’ as part of its inventory for sale on duPont REGISTRY.
Working directly with Bentley’s in-house Mulliner design department, each End of an Era build comes optioned from the factory with special bespoke treatments. This Bentley Flying Spur Speed comes finished in a heritage-inspired Scarab Green finish with an upgraded Blackline styling trim package. While the rear d-pillar pays homage to Bentley Motors’ roots in the U.K. with a special greyscale Union Jack flag badge, the use of gloss black extends to its optioned 22-inch Speed painted wheels and brake calipers.
The celebration continues inside with help from Bentley Mulliner, starting with ‘End of an Era’ carbon fiber treadplate plaques that welcome the driver and passengers into the Flying Spur Speed’s completely transformed cabin. Quilted Key Lime accents and contrast stitching add a vibrant touch to the dark leather and Alcantara upholstery that extends throughout its spacious full-length center console, 4-seater configuration. Each headrest also shows off a bespoke ‘End of an Era’ embroidered logo in Key Lime as a nod to the exclusive W12 collection. Inside, you’ll also find Bentley’s W12 firing sequence overlaid on the passenger front fascia with the number 5 in red to signify this Flying Spur Speed’s production.
The Bentley Flying Spur Speed’s W12 engine is getting a well-deserved sendoff, and what a way to bow out. Under the hood sits the legendary 6.0L twin-turbocharged W12, pushing out 626 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. That means this four-door luxury sedan can sprint from 0–60 mph in just 3.7 seconds, with a top speed of 207 mph. Bentley also tuned it with all-wheel drive and rear-wheel steering, so the Flying Spur Speed handles with a surprising level of agility for its size, making the W12’s farewell performance one to remember.
