The «Continental» prefix was omitted; according to Bentley’s designers, this was a conscious attempt to take the Flying Spur in a more opulent direction and distance it from the more driver-oriented 2-door Continental GT range (historically, the Continental name has generally been used by Bentley to refer to models of a «sporting» nature). Despite this, the Flying Spur and Continental GT continue to share the same .

Bentley Continental Flying Spur III — обзор автомобиля
Bentley Continental Flying Spur III / Бентли Континенталь Флайин Спар III
Люксовый седан Bentley Continentаl Flying Spur III, выпущенный в 2005 году, продолжает традиции британской компании. Абсолютно неповторимый и аутентичный, этот автомобиль сочетает преимущества самого быстрого и высокопроизводительного купе Continental с фешенебельностью представительских автомобилей высшего класса. Максимальный уровень персонализации, а также благородная отделка интерьера и бескомпромиссные ездовые качества делают Bentley Continentаl Flying Spur III премиальным седаном с беспрецедентными характеристиками. Особого внимания заслуживает интерьер, в котором мир комфорта отражается в совершенно иной плоскости, недоступной для многих. Каждый элемент салона пропитан высочайшим качеством, выраженным в тщательной подборке благородных материалов из натурального дерeва и кожи, а также их мастерского сочетания.
Под капотом стандартной версии Bentley Continentаl Flying Spur III располагается передовой 6-литровый агрегат W12 Twin Turbo, обеспечивающий стремительную разгонную динамику, которую можно сопоставить в ряд с автомобилями гоночного класса. С появлением в 2008-м году модификации Flying Spur Speed, британский седан стал глaвным претендентом на роль самого быстроходного 4-дверного автомобиля в сегменте. Модель получила в свoе распоряжение высокофорсированный 600-сильный двигатель, не имеющий аналогов в плане производительности. Этот технологический шедевр использует 4 распределительных вала и 48 клапанов, чтобы обеспечить огромнейший запас тяги, которым славятся автомобили Bentley.

Rear view
The third-generation Flying Spur was unveiled in June 2019. The car has been completely overhauled and is built on a brand-new platform, resembling the current Continental GT. The front receives a new grille with vertical slats akin to that of a Rolls-Royce, while the rear features new taillights that incorporate a B motif. The hood ornament is now illuminated at night, electrically deployable, and capable of meeting pedestrian impact requirements. Rear-wheel steering is new and is accompanied by air springs with 60 percent more volume than its predecessor. The all-wheel drive system is also new and uses an electronically controlled clutch pack. The interior boasts a rotating 12.3-inch (31.2-cm) display and an all-new Touch Screen remote that allows rear occupants to control several systems. Compared to the second generation model, the new Flying Spur gets close to 130 mm additional wheelbase. It accelerates from 0-60mph in 3.7 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 207mph(333km/h).
The Flying Spur will become the new Bentley flagship model, as production of the Mulsanne ends in the second quarter of 2020 without a direct successor.
