Bentley’s latest project, a bespoke Flying Spur, has been commissioned by an unlikely, yet world famous, customer: Santa Claus.
Called the ‘Reindeer Eight’ and customized by the automaker’s Mulliner division, it is finished in Cricket Bauble, a unique shade based on the Cricket Ball, joined by the gold accents and a special pattern applied to the sides, while the 22-inch golden wheels, with a diamond finish, that come straight from Mulliner are shod in all-season tires.
The Flying B mascot has been replaced by a 3D printed reindeer ornament, and in lieu of the V8 badges on the front fenders, Bentley Mulliner has added the ‘Reindeer Eight’ logo to highlight the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 up to a 198 mph (319 km/h) top speed.
