2020 Bentley Flying Spur Unveiled - Photos

The British carmaker Bentley has lifted the covers off its new third-generation Flying Spur, revealing a ground-up development along with cutting-edge technology and features that the company believes will 'redefine' the Grand Touring segment.

According to reports, not much has changed from a design standpoint, though, as the luxury sedan looks more like an evolution of its predecessor than an all-new model. Nevertheless, a closer look reveals that the new Flying Spur is cut from the same cloth as the latest Continental GT with which it shares the platform and underpinnings.

Bentley describes it as “the world’s most advanced luxury Grand Touring sports sedan,” as if it wants to cover all the bases by using this description.

For example, it features Electronic All-Wheel Steering for the first time on a Bentley, combined with Active All-Wheel Drive and Bentley Dynamic Ride for “phenomenal handling and ride.” The new air suspension with three-chamber air springs is said to allow a much greater range of adjustment between limousine-style ride comfort and sporting levels of body control.
