The Flying B mascot has been changed by a 3D printed reindeer decoration, and in lieu of the V8 badges on the entrance fenders, Bentley Mulliner has added the ‘Reindeer Eight’ emblem to focus on the engine, a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 that pumps out 542 HP (550 PS / 405 kW) and 568 lb-ft (770 Nm) of torque. The mill rockets the Flying Spur to 60 mph (96 km/h) in 4.0 seconds and as much as a 198 mph (319 km/h) high pace.

Different highlights embody the Grand Black veneer that shows a winter night time scene on the North Pole, whereas the door playing cards depict the top of the night time’s journey of 41 million miles (66 million km).
