The all-new Bentley Flying Spur series was conceptualized to commemorate the British carmaker’s 100th anniversary. With the launch of four exotic trims, Bentley has exceeded expectations this year with an impressive lineup of power, design, and innovation. Expect unique powertrain configurations, interior detailing, and even exterior upgrades. With a whopping base price of $190,000 for the Flying spur base variant, here are some key features to look out for this year.

Engine and transmission
Bentley has completely redefined performance by giving a massive upgrade to some of the biggest and best engine configurations you would ever expect in a luxury sedan.

Also, let us acknowledge the fact that the base variant itself boasts ad V8 or W12 powertrain. The standard 4.0L V8 is a massive powerhouse churning out 542 HP, while the 6.0L W12 is one of the biggest ever upgrades in the flying spur lineup this year. However, you can opt for the 2.9L V6 Hybrid engine with an additional 100kW electric motor. The hybrid mode is the better fuel economy engine alternative you can include for any of the four trims of the new Bentley Flying Spur. Additionally, all trims come with an all-wheel drive powered by an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Design, interior, and exterior highlights
Bentley also represents the pinnacle of comfort and luxury with all its vehicles specifically designed to cater to the uber elite. The quality of premium materials used is something you will not find even in the most luxurious sedan currently available in the market for this price. The exterior comprises lightweight aluminum fortified with structural support to make the ride fast and safe. Bentley’s bold grille design can be seen from half a mile away on a sunny day. The flying spur also gets a more streamlined finish to minimize drag and improve stability on the road while riding low on the asphalt. Bentley went big or nothing with the wheels, exterior accents, and all the subtle touches that you’d typically get with this luxurious sedan. The interior additionally boasts an array of handcrafted textures, from instruments on the dashboard to the upholstery used for the seats. All these accents transform a regular car cabin into the presidential suite you would find in any five-star hotel.

Technology and safety
Do not let the premium interior upgrades fool you, as the flying spur comes with an upgraded infotainment system that syncs to smart devices. The drawback here is that the infotainment system only connects to Apple CarPlay®’s supported devices. A 12.3-inch touchscreen displays information once you sync your supported devices to enjoy wireless connectivity and intelligent features. Bentley also did not make many changes to the analog dials and dashboard instruments, a trademark feature of the luxury sedan. These tech updates are subtle and do not compromise the look and feel expected by Bentley owners.

Trims
The all-new Bentley flying spur is available in four exotic trims. The Mulliner is the ultimate culmination of technology and artisanship. It is complete with custom detailing and advanced powertrain upgrades. It represents the true definition of a luxury sedan. The Bentley Flying Spur S trim is a sporty option if you prefer a luxurious sports driving experience. The Flying Spur Azure offers unmatched comfort and elegance. It has brilliant aesthetics that primarily focus on interior design and exterior allure. And you have the base trim Bentley Spur which is the quintessential definition of fine British automobile craftsmanship.

Cost of ownership
Bentley is a premium brand. The base variant of the luxury sedan is priced upwards of $190,000 without customizations. It is important to note that there is no uniform estimate available currently for all the trims as Bentley offers a variety of add-ons that increase the price of the car.

Although one thing is sure, you might spend over $250,000 for the most luxurious trim in the all-new Bentley Flying spur series with all the upgrades and design enhancements.
