Facts
The original Continental Flying Spur sent power through a six-speed transmission to all four wheels.
The first generation used a 6.0-litre twin-turbo W12 producing 550 bhp.
The 2016 Flying Spur W12 S was the first four-door Bentley capable of exceeding 200 mph.
The Flying Spur Speed introduced in 2008 was capable of around 200 mph.
The third-generation Flying Spur debuted in 2019 with a longer wheelbase and completely redesigned body.
For the second generation in 2013, Bentley shortened the name from Continental Flying Spur to Flying Spur.
The modern Flying Spur debuted in 2005 as the four-door relative of the Continental GT.
The third generation introduced an illuminated Flying B mascot that deploys electrically from the top of the grille.
The second generation introduced a touchscreen remote for rear passengers to control cabin functions.
In 2014 Bentley added a V8-engined version to the modern Flying Spur range for the first time.
