About a week ago, we were teased with the announcement of Bentley’s fourth-generation Flying Spur, which got a full reveal today. And while those expecting something aesthetically different with this new iteration might be a bit disappointed, take a look under the hood and you’ll see why it’s worthy of its “generation” distinction.
A Familiar Design
The classic Flying Spur design language is nothing to sneeze at but still, the new models only get small changes. Available in 17 colors upon launch, the exterior does get some slight updates in the way of rear bumper blades, side window surrounds, and a new matrix grill design with subtle nods to the 1957 Bentley S1 Continental Flying Spur.
Riding on 21-inch five tri-spoke alloy wheels, the increased wheelbase (by 130mm) yields more room all around and a bigger presence on the road. There’s also a 22-inch Mulliner Driving Specification wheel option.
On the inside, you have several carryovers, such as the 12.3-inch rotating display. However, you also get precision-detailed bullseye vents on the dashboard and, most notably, 3D diamond-quilted leather door inserts — an industry first — inspired by Bentley’s EXP 10 Speed 6 concept design. Furthermore, diamond knurling is seen on the rotary switches, with an option to get them on the air vents and clock.
Another notable addition is the Wellness Seating Specification option, which brings superior comfort to all four seats, featuring posture adjustments and automatic seat climate control, which adjusts temperature and muscle pressure to keep everyone comfortable. Other tech includes improved phone connectivity, better smart navigation features, the ability to remotely manage the cabin temperature from your phone, and air ionizers for the AC system.
Under the Hood
Billing itself as the first four-door supercar, the new Flying Spur runs on a new powertrain in the way of a plug-in hybrid system. It pairs a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 paired with an electric motor. The gas engine gives you 592hp with 187hp added with electric — 771hp total along with 738lb.ft of torque. The 0-to-60 time is also staggering at 3.5 seconds (0.3 seconds faster than the previous gen)
By comparison, the latest Continental GT, a two-door coupe, has those same power specs but with a 3.1-second 0-to-60 time. Meanwhile, the outgoing Flying Spur model ran on a now-retired 6.0-liter W12 engine which boasted a still-impressive 592hp.
With 515 miles of total range, the 2025 Flying Spur has an electric range of 47 miles after nearly 3 hours of charging. There’s an EV Mode with an 87-mph max speed.
