Exteriors see the same front fascia as the earlier generation Flying Spur, while the rear end has been modified and gives the car a sleeker and slimmer appearance. Also it’s taller and narrower than the car it replaces. To offset this, the car’s designers have used larger outer headlamps and a front lower intake with no vertical divisions. The headlamps are projector units while the day time running lights and tail lamps get the LED treatment.
On the inside, the design remains unchanged even as Bentley claims that 600 new parts have been used. Except for certain parts such as the sun visors, grab handles, arm rests and dashboard bits, the car’s interiors come with a range of new parts and these include the front and the rear seats. The Flying Spur is available in 4 seat and 5 seat variants. Bentley claims that passenger comfort is improved through better noise insulation, softer suspension and customized tyres.
