Rs 7 Crore Bentley Flying Spur Rotting By The Roadside
A lot of non-car enthusiasts, when they see a luxury car rotting on the side of the road, do not feel anything. However, for a true automotive enthusiast, seeing a luxury car in a dilapidated condition breaks the heart. Over the years, we have seen numerous videos showing ultra-luxury cars like Bentleys and others being abandoned shared online, and now once again we have another video of a Bentley which is currently in a poor state in Delhi.
The video showing the pathetic condition of this once ultra-expensive Bentley has been shared on Instagram by AR Automobiles on their page. In this short clip, the person creating the video mentions that this particular Bentley Flying Spur sedan is rotting in Vasant Kunj, New Delhi. He added that this video should reach the owner of this car who has left this Rs 7 crore Bentley in the open.
As per the man, the front bumper of this once Rs 7 crore Bentley has been destroyed by stray dogs. The videographer adds that it hurts to see this car in such poor condition. He states that generally people who even own a Maruti Suzuki 800 also ensure that their vehicle is perfect till the day its registration expires.
However, the owner of this beautiful Bentley Flying Spur has left it to rot outside. In the clip, the cameraman also mentions to the owner of this vehicle that if he thinks the maintenance of this vehicle is very expensive, then in that case he can send this sedan to their shop and they can work on it for less.
From the video, we can note that at the front, both ends of the front bumper have been completely destroyed. As stated in the video, the damage on the bumper has been done by stray dogs. Additionally, what we can note is that the entire vehicle is covered in a thick layer of dust, grime, and dry leaves.
During the walkaround, the cameraman then shows the side profile of this particular Bentley, and it can be noted that all four airbags of the air suspension of this sedan have been damaged and the vehicle has bagged. Additionally, it also has been given aftermarket alloy wheels as well.
As for the interior, this particular Bentley Flying Spur was seen fitted with a red leather interior. It is not seen on a majority of newer Bentley models unless someone opts for it themselves. The rear of the car does not look as badly damaged as the front end.
As per the netizens in the comment section, this particular vehicle has been attached by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence due to a legal matter. Now, who exactly owns this vehicle has not been revealed.
Coming to the details of this particular Bentley Flying Spur luxury sedan, back in 2010, when it was new, it was priced at around Rs 7 crore. Today, in this condition, it may be worth around Rs 50–55 lakh. This generation of the Flying Spur came powered by a massive 6.0-litre V12 engine.
This motor generated 616 bhp and 800 Nm of torque. Also, it came equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and the power was sent to all four wheels with the help of its AWD system.
