Bentley unveils new Flying Spur with single headlamps and sportier S model

Bentley has revealed the latest generation of its Flying Spur luxury sedan, marking the return of single front headlamps to a Bentley four-door for the first time since 1962. The new design brings the Flying Spur's styling in line with the Continental GT family.

The front features an integrated radiator grille and clean front wings, with badging moved behind the front wheel. At the rear, a new boot lid, revised lamps, and a body-colored number plate surround complete the exterior updates. New 22-inch wheel finishes are available on both Azure and S models.

The returning S model is the most powerful Flying Spur to date, producing 680 PS and 930 Nm from its hybrid powertrain. That is nearly 20 percent more power than the previous S model. Bentley claims a 0-100 km/h time of 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 307 km/h. The S model also features Bentley's Performance Active Chassis, including active all-wheel drive, torque vectoring, an active anti-roll system, and for the first time on a Flying Spur S, an electronic limited-slip differential.

Inside, buyers can choose from five distinct seat styles, each requiring 12 hours of handcraftsmanship. The new Virtuoso Collection introduces three curated themes-Soprano, Tenor, and Bass-featuring the Naim for Mulliner 21-speaker audio system and Champagne Gold detailing on exterior badges and interior trim.

Production at Bentley's Crewe factory begins in September, with deliveries expected in early fourth quarter of 2026. For European buyers, the new Flying Spur continues to offer an alternative to the Rolls-Royce Ghost and Mercedes-Maybach S-Class, now with a more distinctive design and a sharper performance-focused S variant
