Bentley Flying Spur family gets double debut at Guangzhou, China

Bentley Motors has debuted its two latest additions to the Flying Spur family of grand touring sedans in China at the Guangzhou Auto Show.

Representing unparalleled luxury at Guangzhou was the Flying Spur Mulliner. The most luxurious Flying Spur to date, the car sports beautifully appointed detailing including exclusive Mulliner 22-inch wheels, with self-levelling wheel caps, as well as a 'Double Diamond' front grille and chrome front lower grille which is matched by bespoke Mulliner branded wing vents and Satin Silver painted mirror caps.

Mulliner illuminated outer treadplates and deep-pile overmats welcome passengers inside the ultimate Flying Spur cabin, which offers a bespoke curation of eight custom-made, three-colour combinations.

The sumptuously trimmed cockpit is complemented by accent colour piping and unique Mulliner embroidery to the hand-stitched seats.

Also making its debut in China was the Flying Spur Hybrid, the most environmentally friendly Bentley to date.

With an unperceivable blend between the internal combustion engine and electric motor, progressive serenity is on offer regardless of driving mode or style. The new Flying Spur Hybrid combines a 2.9-litre V6 petrol engine with an advanced electric motor, delivering a total of 536bhp and 750Nm of torque.

With high power reserves, superior torque and quick throttle response the latest hybrid model gives little away to the Flying Spur V8 in acceleration, passing 100km/h from a standstill in 4.3 seconds.

The Flying Spur is a hugely successful and important car in the Chinese market for Bentley with strong demand after the pandemic, increasing sales by 200% since last year.
