Along with the recognition that fast, able luxury sedans that are not as unique as anyone may think, Robb Report also stated that the real obstacle in this sector is providing a sense of allure.

In addition to the empirical capabilities of the all-new Flying Spur, Robb Report also explained that "the toniest of trappings" are present.

Cited specifically the three-dimensional leather quilting of the sedan and the rotating display of Bentley, which switches through analog gauges, a digital touch screen, or a wood veneer that complements its surroundings.

As it was first revealed during the second half of 2019, the all-new Flying Spur has reaped numerous awards, which include the Luxury Car of the Year. Bentley began producing the car in November 2019 at its facility in Crewe, England.

The all-new Flying Spur is considered the ultimate luxury touring sedan since it combines limousine-levels of comfort with its performance. From the ground up, this four-door vehicle smoothly incorporates the finest in British cars equipped with advanced, state-of-the-art features.

The all-new Flying Spur is the first Bentley model to be given an electronic all-wheel steering. This is blended with the Bentley Dynamic Ride, the first 48-volt electric anti-roll system, and an active all-wheel drive system to bring ultimate ride experience and handling.

Inside, the all-new Flying Spur is more emphasized through a new wing-themed fascia that links the rear and front spaces, and this establishes an entirely incorporated design. Moreover, the cabin integrates original, natural, and sustainable materials while acknowledging a range of new innovations.

The improved version of the 6.0-liter, twin-turbocharged W12 of Bentley provides power to the all-new Flying Spur. This is mated to an advanced dual-clutch, eight-speed transmission for seamless and faster gear changes. The new engine also enables the vehicle to speed up from standstill to 100kph in 3.8 seconds and reach a top speed of about 350 kph.
