STORY

The modern Flying Spur is Bentley's four-door grand touring saloon, reviving a name first used on the Continental of the 1950s. Launched as a distinct model line, it offers W12, V8 and hybrid power with a focus on both driving and chauffeured luxury. Successive generations have moved it onto shared Volkswagen Group luxury architecture.
