Following its release, the company now has two crossover SUVs, the new Bentley Torcal and the ‘classic’ Bentley Bentayga with ICE power under the hood, plus the hybrid Continental GT grand tourer along with its Flying Spur sedan cousin. That’s a balanced model range, for sure.
However, that’s not all, because the ultra-luxury brand recently reinvented its showroom ethos beginning with the oldest Bentley retailer out there. Jack Barclay in London, established in 1927, is named after a racing driver of that era and operated by H.R. Owen – now it’s the flagship dealer for the new ethos.
Last but not least, we’re also seeing a new business strategy flourishing around the headquarters. Precisely, the all-new Bentley Torcal headlines a business plan that aims to keep both ICE and hybrid models in production for longer while the brand slows down its all-electric investments, and a new EV model isn’t coming before 2030, while the full-EV deadline has been postponed because now gasoline options are here to stay, most likely electrified to make them more powerful and efficient.
Anyway, it’s no wonder that the rumor mill continues to ask questions about the future of the Volkswagen AG brand, and just recently the good folks at Kolesa, along with their resident pixel master Nikita Chuicko, aka ‘kelsonik‘ on social media, imagined the next-gen Bentley sedan, the Flying Spur, going through a comprehensive digital transformation.
Now, though, the virtual artist is back playing with the Bentley Flying Spur, the modern incarnation, envisioning the fourth generation of the full-size luxury sedan way ahead of time, as the model recently went through its full mid-cycle refresh procedure. His vision, though, keeps the profile mostly the same and only works on the front and rear.
The ‘new’ Bentley Flying Spur returns to double round LED headlights with LED daytime halo rings, uses the new Torcal grille, and makes the sedan more muscular through the protruding front bumper or the more upright front and rear fender flares. Around the back, there’s a new rear style with slim LED taillights and the trunk separated from the wider fender flares like on the Torcal.
The red sedan is dressed with black concave alloy wheels to bode well for the low-placed black plastic body elements, and then the author also compares the new version with the previous CGI created for Kolesa plus the older sedan, along with the direct competition – Rolls-Royce’s Ghost. So, what do you think – yay or nay for a fresh take on the Bentley Flying Spur that’s different from the current 2027 model year?
