most notably, the design of the bentley ‘flying spur’ leads with a brand new ‘flying B’ mascot adorning its nose. this details adds another level of luxury whilst accentuating the long vehicle body (with a 130mm longer wheelbase). its muscular proportions are sculpted in a modern style that evokes emotions of elegance rather than just simply pure power and dynamism. cut-crystal effect LED matrix headlamps, new wrap-around rear lamps with ‘B’ motifs and 22-inch wheels complete the aesthetic.

from the elegant exterior, passengers step into a spacious cabin of comfort and refinement. modern handcraftsmanship is shown with single and dual veneer wood options paired with fluted leather seating or, alternatively, unique mulliner driving specification diamond quilting on the seats and leather door inserts. the console combines digital with analogue technology to showcase bentley’s infusion of updated traditions. for example, a HD digital instrument panel display and rotating center console with a choice of a 12.3-inch touchscreen is equipped with analogue dials.

mated to a dual-clutch eight-speed transmission, the 6.0-liter turbocharged W 12 engine delivers 626 bhp and 600 Nm of torque. this races the car from 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds and to a top speed of 207 mph. an advanced aluminum and composite chassis, electronic all-wheel steering, active all-wheel drive and bentley dynamic ride ensures the ‘flying spur’ handles with precision. this performance is matched with a limousine-style comfort thanks to the new three-chamber air springs.
