Bentley Motors has unveiled the grand touring luxury sedan 'The New Flying Spur', reflecting the design identity of the fourth-generation Continental GT and equipped with the HYBE-Lead powertrain. This new model has expanded its product appeal by refining interior and exterior details and adding the high-performance sports LINE-up 'S' and the 'Virtuoso Collection' featuring top-tier audio.

The most distinct change in the exterior is the introduction of single headlamps. It has been 64 years since single headlamps were adopted in Bentley's 4-door sedan LINE-up, dating back to 1962. The redesigned integrated bumper radiator grille completes the front impression, while the front fenders have been smoothed by removing the existing wing vent details, with badges placed behind the front wheels. The rear features a new trunk lid, rear lamps, and license plate surrounds matching the body color. Inside, five styles of seats are available, crafted through a 12-hour manual process, with fluted or quilted inserts applied depending on the model.

The performance-focused sports model, 'The New Flying Spur S', is equipped with the high-performance HYBE-Lead powertrain, delivering a maximum output of 680 horsepower (PS) and a maximum torque of 94.8 kg·m. This represents an approximately 20% increase in output compared to the previous generation, accelerating from a standstill to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 307 km/h. Additionally, it features the 'Bentley Performance Active Chassis', which includes active all-wheel drive, twin-valve dampers, torque vectoring, Bentley Dynamic Ride, and next-generation ESC control software. For the first time in a Flying Spur S model, an electronic limited-slip differential (e-LSD) is combined.

In terms of design, visual differentiation was achieved by applying a high-gloss black matrix grille, black LINE specifications, and dark-tinted full LED matrix headlamps and tail lamps. The special model 'The Virtuoso Collection', also unveiled, is equipped with 'Naim for Mulliner', the top-tier audio system used in the Coachbuilt model Batur. This system, consisting of 21 speakers, was developed based on Focal's flagship 'Grand Utopia' technology and adopts a patented integrated 'M'-shaped cone mid-range tweeter to reduce distortion and enhance sound dispersion.

The New Flying Spur, handcrafted at the Bentley factory in Crewe, United Kingdom, is currently accepting orders in Korea. Official customer deliveries in Korea are scheduled to begin in the first half of 2027.
