Say hello to the redesigned Bentley Continental Flying Spur, pictures of which surfaced on the internet today ahead of its scheduled premiere on February 20, as the British carmaker informed us through a series of teaser videos this week.
The sports limousine gains a completely new, and dare we say, better looking, exterior shell that's less rounded and more chiseled, bringing it into line with the rest of the family, including the updated Continental GT coupe and Continental GTC convertible, as well as the larger Mulsanne.
While the car featured here is powered by a 6.0-litre bi-turbocharged W12 engine, as evidenced by the oval-shaped twin tail pipes, Bentley will also offer a new entry-level 4.0-liter turbocharged V8 unit sourced from Audi (this model will be distinguished by exhaust pipes forming the shape of the number "8"), rated for 500hp (507PS) and 660Nm (487 lb-ft).
Just like the redesigned coupe and ragtop iterations of the Continental family, the Flying Spur sedan features a revised interior with higher quality materials, plus new switchgear, steering wheel, instrument panel and center console designs.
We'll have the opportunity to see the 2014 Continental Flying Spur in the flesh at the Geneva Auto Salon next month.

Dont know what to think... mixed feelings..
very nice) real english rear
I thought for sure it was just going to be called the Flying Spur, no Continental. Oh well, still love it!!!
Sexier? It looks even more blunt than before. What a disappointing, dull-looking box.
i dont like mesh in front bumper...
I'm with you on that.
Utterly love it! Clever tail light oval lighting tie-in with exhaust pipe ovals. Girthy front fenders. Masculine as all hell.
ohh man i love it! cant wait to see the S-Class.
Same here.
Bentley's new designs are drawing design cues from its horrid looking SUV concept, instead of making the SUV like the beautiful bentleys, they are making the new bentleys like the SUV concept.
Then they will call it design integration, compare the rear ends even with the new continental and u will see this.
My only issue is that the front end isn't the hood extended forward, which makes it look blunt and less aggressive. Basically, the hood is kinda stubby.
