The Bentley Flying Spur stands as one of the most compelling ultra-luxury sedans ever built — a car that blends grand touring capability with chauffeur-driven refinement in a way few rivals can match. Whether you’re drawn to the thunderous W12 or the surprisingly sporty twin-turbo V8, the used Flying Spur market offers extraordinary value for buyers who know what to look for. This guide walks you through every available listing, engine variant, generational differences, and key considerations before you sign on the dotted line.
What Is the Bentley Flying Spur?
The Flying Spur is Bentley’s flagship four-door saloon, originally derived from the Continental GT platform and later redesigned on a fully independent architecture for the third generation (2019–present). It seats five in near-unrivaled comfort, with handcrafted leather, real wood veneers, and an array of technology that rivals — and often surpasses — the Rolls-Royce Ghost and Mercedes-Maybach S-Class.
There are three generations to be aware of when shopping used:
- First Generation (2005–2013): Based on the Continental GT, powered exclusively by the 6.0-litre W12. The Speed variant (2009–2013) added more power and a sport-tuned suspension.
- Second Generation (2013–2019): Added the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, offering a lighter, more driver-focused alternative to the W12.
- Third Generation (2019–present): Completely new architecture, revised styling, a fully digital instrument cluster, and available hybrid powertrain. The First Edition trim was a launch special for the 2021 model year, loaded with exclusive features.

Third-Generation Flying Spur (2021–2022): The Modern Pinnacle
The 2021 and 2022 listings represent the newest generation of the Flying Spur and command the highest prices on the market — and with good reason. Bentley completely redesigned the car for 2020, moving to an all-new platform shared with the Porsche Panamera that delivers a far more dynamic driving experience than its predecessor.
W12 vs V8: Which Engine Should You Choose?
The 6.0-litre W12 produces 626 hp and 900 Nm of torque in standard form, propelling the Flying Spur to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. It is the definitive, traditional Bentley experience — effortless, near-silent at cruise, and monumentally powerful when provoked. The W12-powered 2021 First Edition listed at 11.9 billion VND (10,000 km) and the 2022 First Edition W12 at 12.5 billion VND (9,000 km) represent exceptional value given their near-new condition.
The 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 puts out 542 hp and 770 Nm, and in many ways is the more rewarding driver’s car — sharper steering feel, slightly lower kerb weight, and an exhaust note that occasionally crackles on the overrun. It also returns better fuel economy (though “better” is relative in this segment). Multiple 2021 V8 listings in the 11.8–12.5 billion VND range with under 15,000 km on the clock make this variant particularly compelling.
First Edition: What’s Included?
The First Edition trim, exclusive to 2021 and early 2022 production, added a substantial package of standard-fit options that would otherwise cost hundreds of thousands of dollars:
- Mulliner Driving Specification (diamond-quilted seats, drilled alloy pedals)
- 22-inch painted and polished alloy wheels
- Rotating display (three-position instrument panel: analogue gauges, veneer, or 12.3-inch touchscreen)
- Blackline Specification exterior chrome delete
- Enhanced rear entertainment and comfort package
One listing of note is the 2022 V8 at 14.2 billion VND, described as fully equipped with a raised bonnet flying B logo, diamond-quilted seats, rear cooler box, wood veneer interior, and twist-spoke wheels. For a near-new example with only 15,000 km, this sits at the top of the price range but offers the most comprehensive specification of any listing.
Second-Generation Flying Spur (2013–2019): The Sweet Spot for Value
The 2014 and 2015 examples represent the second generation — a period when Bentley introduced the V8 engine option and substantially refined the interior quality and technology.
The 2015 Flying Spur V8 listed at 5.2 billion VND in HCMC is one of the more interesting value propositions in this roundup. With 57,186 km recorded and all-wheel drive, the 4.0-litre engine produces 507 hp in second-gen tune. At this price point, you are getting a genuinely luxurious grand tourer for a fraction of its original new price.
The 2014 W12 in black at 3.8 billion VND deserves mention for its specification: full Naim audio system, dual rear headrest screens, and a rear passenger control panel. This is a proper long-wheelbase specification car and, at 18,000 km, has been barely used relative to its age.
First-Generation Flying Spur (2005–2013): Collector Territory
The oldest listings — the 2006, 2007, 2009, and 2011 examples — occupy a very different market segment. These are now approaching collector status, and ownership requires a different mindset entirely.

The 2011 Flying Spur Speed at 1.999 billion VND is the most interesting entry point into Bentley ownership from this era. The Speed variant received a power upgrade (over 600 hp from the W12), a lowered sport suspension, and darker exterior brightwork. At 41,000 km with documented service history mentioned in the listing, this is the one to consider if your budget sits under 2 billion VND.
The 2009 Speed listings are worth examining carefully. One example at 1.5 billion VND offers a clean white exterior with an HCMC registration, while a second example at just 769 million VND has recorded 123,456 km — suggesting a vehicle that has lived a full life and would require careful inspection and likely some mechanical attention before regular use.
The 2006 and 2007 W12 examples (1.06 billion and 2.3 billion VND respectively) are best considered collector or weekend-use vehicles. The 2007 listing is described as a near-original car with approximately 16,000 miles (around 26,000 km), which is genuinely rare for a vehicle of that age and suggests careful, infrequent use.
What to Check Before Buying a Used Flying Spur
Regardless of which generation appeals to you, used Bentley ownership requires thorough pre-purchase inspection. Key areas to assess include:
Mechanical:
- W12 engine oil consumption and timing chain condition (known concern on early examples)
- Air suspension condition — replacement bags and compressors are expensive
- Transmission fluid condition and shift quality
- All-wheel drive system operation
Electrical:
- Infotainment system functionality (older units can develop faults)
- Massage seat motors and ventilation systems
- Naim or Bang & Olufsen audio system (all channels working)
- Rear entertainment screens (2014+ models)
Cosmetic:
- Veneer panel condition — real wood can crack or delaminate
- Leather condition on high-wear surfaces (bolsters, steering wheel)
- Exterior brightwork for pitting or corrosion (chrome is expensive to restore)
All 2021–2022 listings in this roundup emphasize that the vehicles have not been in accidents and remain in near-new condition — several sellers explicitly offer written guarantees. For older examples, insist on an independent inspection from a Bentley-qualified technician before purchase.
Financing and Purchase Logistics
Several dealers in this listing pool offer bank financing at up to 70% of vehicle value — a meaningful option given that even a base 2021 Flying Spur V8 represents a nine-figure investment in local currency. Luxury car dealerships such as Sài Gòn Luxury Cars, Diamond Auto, and Thế Giới Xe Đức operate dedicated showrooms in Hanoi and HCMC with professional sales support and vehicle history documentation.
For buyers outside major cities, several sellers confirm nationwide delivery and remote inspection arrangements, with the Can Tho listing (2014 V8, 4.099 billion VND) being a notable example of inventory available beyond the Hanoi–HCMC axis.
Conclusion: Which Used Flying Spur Is Right for You?
The used Bentley Flying Spur market in Vietnam is genuinely diverse, offering everything from accessible first-generation collector cars to near-new third-generation examples at a meaningful discount to new prices. Here is a simplified recommendation by buyer profile:
- Maximum modernity, minimum mileage: 2021 First Edition V8 or W12 (11.9–12.9 billion VND) — these cars are essentially new and carry the full third-generation technology suite.
- Best value for daily use: 2021 Flying Spur V8 at 11.9 billion VND (12,000 km) — proven specification, lower mileage, competitive pricing.
- Second-generation sweet spot: 2014 W12 (3.8 billion VND) — extraordinary specification at a fraction of original cost, ideal for buyers who prize the W12 experience on a tighter budget.
- Entry-level Bentley ownership: 2011 Speed (1.999 billion VND) — the most affordable way to experience the full Flying Spur Speed character, provided you budget for maintenance.
Whichever example you choose, the Flying Spur delivers a level of handcrafted luxury and effortless performance that very few automobiles on earth can match.
