On June 2, 2026 (UK local time), Bentley Motors announced the new Flying Spur. It represents a new evolution as a four-door sedan that combines luxury born from exceptional craftsmanship with supercar-level performance.
The latest Flying Spur, based on Bentley's top-performing V8 hybrid powertrain, features a new exterior design characterized by clean, modern, and seamless surfaces. Furthermore, for the first time since 1962, a Bentley sedan model adopts a single front headlamp design. This evolves the Flying Spur's design DNA to align with the fourth-generation Continental GT.
The radiator grille is integrated into the front bumper, and the single headlamp comes in two different designs depending on the model. The traditional wing vent detail has been removed, and the front fender has been redesigned with a smoother, cleaner shape. The badge is now positioned behind the front wheel.
At the rear, a newly designed trunk lid is adopted, evolving the styling with flowing surfaces and clean lines for a more sophisticated look, combined with new rear lamps and body-colored number plate surrounds.
Additionally, new 22-inch wheels are available as an option for both Azure and S models.
Production of the new Flying Spur is scheduled to begin in September 2026 at Bentley's home factory in Crewe.
The 'S' model also returns in the new Flying Spur lineup, appearing as a performance-oriented model with a sporty design. Inheriting the DNA of the highly acclaimed Continental GT S, it features Bentley's 'Performance Active Chassis' and 'High Performance Hybrid Powertrain' for dynamic and refined driving.
The new Flying Spur S is the most powerful S model ever, delivering 680 PS and 930 Nm of torque. This represents an approximately 20% increase over the previous Flying Spur S and is equipped with an electronic limited-slip differential (eLSD).
With the return of the S model, the seat styles expand to five types. Each seat is handcrafted, requiring 12 hours to complete. They feature fluted or advanced quilted inserts, with Bentley's trim specialists achieving exceptional comfort and seat performance.
The Virtuoso Collection is a special series equipped with the Naim for Mulliner audio system, combining refined materials, special embroidery, and champagne gold details inspired by the craftsmanship of high-end musical instruments.
This collection is available across Bentley's entire lineup, with three curated themes: 'Soprano', 'Tenor', and 'Bass'. It expresses a diverse range of worlds, from calm and bright interiors to darker, more dramatic designs.
Champagne gold detailing is applied throughout the exterior and interior, including the winged badge, exhaust finishers, collection-specific badges, and even the key with a champagne gold border.
A new exterior color, 'Dark Teal', has been added. It is a beautiful mid-blue metallic color with a hint of green, joining the lineup as a modern, sophisticated, nature-inspired color. Delicate metallic flakes create elegant depth and accentuate the sculptural beauty of the body surfaces.
Flying Spur S Details
The S model is developed for performance-focused drivers. The fourth-generation Flying Spur S is the fastest and most powerful model to ever wear the S badge, delivering 680 PS and 930 Nm.
The High Performance Hybrid Powertrain in the new S model offers an increase of 130 PS over the previous Flying Spur S. At full power, it achieves 0-100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds (0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds) and reaches a top speed of 308 km/h (191 mph).
Supporting this advanced powertrain is a chassis setup currently only used in Speed and Mulliner models.
The Performance Active Chassis includes active AWD (all-wheel drive), twin-valve dampers, front-to-rear and side-to-side torque vectoring, a 48V active anti-roll system called 'Bentley Dynamic Ride', and next-generation ESC control software. Additionally, for the first time on a Flying Spur S, an electronic limited-slip differential (eLSD) is adopted.
This is the most advanced and driver-focused AWD chassis setup in Bentley's history, designed to maximize sportiness and exceptional driving performance.
The sporty character of the new S model is strongly expressed in its exterior design. The Blackline Specification includes a dark-finished front lower bumper and a gloss black matrix grille. Black-finished Bentley wing badges and 'BENTLEY' lettering create a sharp and powerful presence.
Beluga black door mirror caps and side sill extensions further accentuate the performance model's character. The dark-tinted full LED matrix headlamps feature a precise 'Precision' design, shared with the Flying Spur Speed. At the rear, dark-tinted taillamps are complemented by dark-finished tailpipes for the sports exhaust.
