About the Bentley Flying Spur W12 Granite Grey Kyosho 1:18

TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Bentley Flying Spur W12 reproduces the 2012 four-door flagship in Granite Grey, with opening doors and a detailed cabin. Diecast construction gives it real heft on the shelf. A considered piece for collectors building an ultra-luxury saloon lineup.

The Flying Spur set out to answer a simple question: could a four-door saloon carry the same theatre as the Continental GT coupe? Kyosho's 1:18 diecast take on the W12 version suggests the answer, finished here in a deep Granite Grey that suits the car's understated presence.

Kyosho's 1:18 Diecast Take on the Flying Spur

Granite Grey Paintwork and Cabin Detail

Kyosho applies the Granite Grey finish with even coverage across the long bonnet and boot, the metallic flake catching light without breaking up the paint's depth under direct lighting. Inside, the diecast recreates Bentley's cabin ambition in miniature: contrasting trim across the dashboard, a mapped wood-effect console, and seat detailing that reads correctly from typical display distance. Kyosho has built a reputation on this kind of cabin patience, favouring visible interior work over sealed-body simplicity, which suits a car whose original buyers spent as much time admiring the inside as the outside.

Opening Features and Build Weight

Lifting the model from its packaging, the zinc alloy body announces itself immediately. A four-door 1:18 saloon in diecast carries genuine heft, unlike a resin equivalent at the same scale. The doors open on metal hinges with a firm, controlled swing rather than a loose flop, and the bonnet lifts to expose engine bay detailing. That opening-feature approach is the trade-off diecast makes against sealed resin: slightly wider panel gaps in exchange for a model that handles and displays with genuine mechanical interaction, which matters for a subject built around a twin-turbocharged W12 engine.

The W12 Flying Spur as Bentley's Four-Door Flagship

Flying Spur's Place Beside the Continental GT

The Flying Spur arrived as Bentley's four-door counterpart to the Continental GT, sharing the same Volkswagen Group-era platform and, in W12 form, the same twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre engine sending power through all four wheels. Where the Continental GT sold Bentley's grand-touring coupe idea to a single-owner audience, the Flying Spur extended that ambition to a car meant to be driven by a chauffeur as often as by its owner, without softening the performance case underneath. This 2012-era example sits within the first generation's later production run, before Bentley reworked the model in 2013, and carries the fuller, traditional grille and proportions that generation is remembered for. Ultra-luxury saloons like this occupy a narrow band of the market: fast enough to embarrass sports saloons, finished well enough to satisfy buyers who would never consider a sports car outright. Kyosho's choice of subject reflects that duality.

Where This Fits an Ultra-Luxury Display

Shelf Space and Scale Considerations

At 1:18, a full-size four-door saloon like the Flying Spur runs close to 27cm in length, noticeably longer than a two-door coupe on the same shelf, so it is worth measuring cabinet depth before adding one to a run of sports cars. Displayed alongside a Continental GT it makes a natural two-model Bentley grouping: one showing the marque's coupe ambitions, the other its saloon flagship, both sharing the W12 engine story. Diecast construction is the right call here, since the opening doors and bonnet let the cabin detail and engine bay actually be seen, rather than sealed behind glass-smooth resin panels. Priced at the upper end of the mass-diecast range, it rewards collectors who value presence and mechanical interaction over the sharper shut lines a resin casting could offer.
