Bentley Flying Spur vs Rolls-Royce Ghost: UK prices compared
As of 14 November 2026, 65 Bentley Flying Spur and 36 Rolls-Royce Ghost are for sale at UK specialist dealers. The typical asking price is £159,950 for the Bentley Flying Spur and £195,000 for the Rolls-Royce Ghost.
The Bentley Flying Spur is Bentley's four-door luxury saloon, a close relative of the Continental GT, with W12, V8 and, more recently, plug-in hybrid power. The Rolls-Royce Ghost is the smaller of Rolls-Royce's two saloons, sitting below the Phantom and powered by a twin-turbo V12. They get compared because both are large, hand-finished British saloons for people who want to be comfortable whether they drive or sit in the back.

Which to choose
The Bentley Flying Spur suits
The Flying Spur suits an owner who mostly drives themselves and wants a big luxury saloon with real pace. The current hybrid Speed and Mulliner versions are also the choice for anyone who wants some electric-only running for short trips.
The Rolls-Royce Ghost suits
The Ghost suits a buyer who puts quietness, ride comfort and the sense of occasion ahead of outright speed, and who may spend time being driven. The Extended versions add rear legroom for anyone who regularly carries passengers in the back.
The choice is mostly about character. The Flying Spur, especially in hybrid form, is the quicker and more driver-focused of the two, with more versions and engines to choose from. The Ghost is built around refinement and isolation, and the Rolls-Royce badge and V12 matter to many buyers in this class. If you'll do most of the driving and want performance, look at the Bentley first. If calm progress and rear-seat comfort come first, the Ghost is the more natural fit.

Questions buyers ask
Which is quicker, the Flying Spur or the Ghost?
The latest Flying Spur hybrids are quicker. Official figures for the Flying Spur Speed V8 Hybrid are 771 bhp and 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds. The Ghost Black Badge, the most powerful Ghost, has 592 bhp, and every Ghost is limited to 155 mph.
Is there a hybrid version of either car?
Yes, the Flying Spur. Recent Flying Spurs, including the Speed, Azure and Mulliner versions, use a V8 plug-in hybrid. The Ghost is V12 only, with no hybrid version.
Which has more room in the back?
Both are large saloons with generous rear space. Rolls-Royce also offers the Ghost Extended, with a longer wheelbase and more rear legroom, which makes the Ghost the more obvious pick if passengers in the back are the priority.
What engines did older examples use?
Earlier Flying Spurs mostly have a 6.0-litre W12 or a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8. Every Ghost has a 6.6-litre twin-turbo V12, producing 563 bhp in standard form according to official figures.
Which is better if I want to drive myself?
Both are designed to be driven by their owners, but the Flying Spur is set up to be the sportier car, and the Speed versions especially so. The Ghost puts the emphasis on comfort and quiet over agility, although the Black Badge versions have a firmer, more purposeful feel.
