The All-New 2026 Bentley Flying Spur

On June 2, 2026, Bentley Motors unveiled the latest iteration of its Flying Spur, a four-door sedan that beautifully melds luxury craftsmanship with supercar-level performance. In an exciting first, the sedan incorporates a single front headlamp design, marking the first change since 1962, celebrated for its sophisticated exterior and enhanced presence.

A New Era of Design

The new Flying Spur exhibits a completely reimagined exterior, adopting a clean, modern aesthetic with seamless surfaces. The integration of the radiator grille into the front bumper and unique lighting designs tailored for different models exemplifies this innovative approach. The eradication of traditional wing vents has resulted in smoother, more refined front fenders, while the badge is strategically placed slightly behind the front wheel.

At the rear, a newly designed trunk lid honors past styling while showcasing flowing surfaces and clean lines—a combination that elevates the vehicle’s overall elegance. The addition of new rear lamps and a body-colored number plate surround further enhances its distinctive look. Plus, 22-inch wheels are available as an option for both the Azure and S models, completing a polished exterior.

Performance Redefined

Highlighting the excitement surrounding the new Flying Spur is the return of the ‘S’ model, which is designed for those who crave a sporty touch along with remarkable performance. Equipped with the acclaimed V8 hybrid powertrain, the new ‘S’ variant proudly claims high-powered performance metrics, boasting an impressive output of 680 PS and a maximum torque of 930 Nm—posting a 20% improvement over its predecessor.

The reinvented Flying Spur S incorporates a dynamic ‘Performance Active Chassis’ designed to offer a sophisticated yet spirited driving experience. This chassis enables features like active all-wheel drive, twin-valve dampers, and a 48V active anti-roll system termed ‘Bentley Dynamic Ride’, which nurtures precise handling and control.

Luxurious Interiors

Inside, the cabin's craftsmanship shines through with five types of seating configurations, each handcrafted to perfection, requiring up to 12 hours to complete. Options include sophisticated fluted finishes or advanced quilting, designed by Bentley's trim specialists for exceptional comfort and performance.

To top it off, the exclusive ‘Virtuoso Collection’ for the Flying Spur features the 'Naim for Mulliner' audio system, promising an unmatched auditory experience with materials inspired by high-end instrument craftsmanship, detailed stitching, and opulent champagne gold accents that adorn both the interior and exterior of the vehicle.

Aiming for Tomorrow

Production of the new Flying Spur is set to commence in September 2026 at Bentley’s renowned facility in Crewe. The open orders are scheduled to begin on June 3, 2026, with deliveries planned for early in the fourth quarter of the same year. With its powerful attributes, sophisticated styling, and lavish interiors, the new Flying Spur is primed to redefine luxury sedans in the contemporary automotive world.
