VIDEO: Best look yet at 2019 Bentley Flying Spur

Latest teaser of Bentley Flying Spur reveals how new platform and tech will transform the driving experience

Our best glimpse yet of the all-new next-generation Bentley Flying Spur has been revealed ahead of its world debut on June 11.

In a short vid posted overnight on the car-maker's social media channels, the Bentley Flying Spur is shown being driven hard on a track looking very similar to the current car.

Surprising, because like the recently introduced Continental GT, the Bentley Flying Spur is all new.

Underneath, the 2019 Bentley Flying Spur switches to the latest Volkswagen Group MSB architecture that underpins the current Continental GT coupe and the Porsche Panamera.

Ensuring the next Flying Spur is transformed in the driving department, the new platform supports 48-volt mild-hybrid electrification that enables active anti-roll bars and Bentley’s Dynamic Ride suspension.

In the video, Bentley also confirms its luxury limo will get four-wheel steer boosting its agility and making parking and low-speed manoeuvres easier.

Set to be unveiled later this year and launched shortly afterwards, the new Flying Spur will initially be offered with Bentley’s mighty 6.0-litre twin-turbo petrol W12, which generates no less than 473kW and 900Nm in the Continental GT.

Later on, a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 will arrive, producing 404kW and 770Nm, plus a plug-in hybrid powertrain that’s set to combine a turbocharged V6 and two electric motors.

A diesel is not expected.

It’s not known if the British limo will employ the coupe’s eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (more likely it will come with a traditional automatic gearbox) but all versions will come with all-wheel drive.

Inside, Bentley has already revealed the Flying Spur's cabin will be as luxurious as ever, pioneering the world's first three-dimensional quilted leather that will feature on the large sedan's door cards.

It's thought Bentley will release at least one more tease of the Flying Spur ahead of its debut on June 11.
