Bentley has released the first teaser for the next iteration of the Flying Spur.
Only an image of the retractable ‘flying-B’ bonnet ornament and a sketched outline of the body have been revealed, so the firm is keeping its cards close to its chest.
But the next version of the luxury four-door grand tourer is expected to come with similar styling to the latest Continental GT, so expect a new grille design, a sleeker roof line and smoother edges to the squared-off front and rear bumpers.
Engine-wise, Bentley is likely to use the W12 and V8 petrol engines used in the similarly-sized Continental – with the W12 developing 626bhp and the smaller capacity unit producing 542bhp.

Bentley is also expected to introduce an electrified powertrain of some sort, with a plug-in hybrid teaming a V6 petrol with an electric motor the most likely combination.
In the year of Bentley’s centenary, with celebrations taking place in July, it is to be expected that the Crewe-based, VW Group-owned marque will take that opportunity to unveil the next Flying Spur.
