Production of all new Bentley Flying Spur now underway

Bentley Motors has confirmed that production of the all new Flying Spur, the ultimate luxury Grand Touring sedan, has begun, with commencement of deliveries set for early 2020.

Handcrafting of the first customer orders has already started at Bentley's factory headquarters in Crewe, England, following completion of over 1.6 million km of development testing. The third generation of the marque's Grand Tourer offers the perfect fusion of performance-orientated agility and exclusive four-door, limousine-style comfort.

As the most advanced Bentley ever built, and in a sign of the exacting levels of attention to detail, nearly 200 people handcraft every Flying Spur through 84 different assembly stages at the company's factory in Crewe.

The new Flying Spur is powered by an enhanced version of Bentley's 6.0-litre, twin-turbocharged W12, which sets the benchmark in performance, agility and dynamism for the segment. Mated to an advanced dual-clutch eight-speed transmission, it has a top speed of 333km/h, and a zero to 100km/h sprint time of 3.8 seconds.
