Scaling down their big sedan under the bonnet, Bentley has unveiled the Bentley Flying Spur V8 which puts more focus on agility to please those humble folks who like to take the wheel instead of stick to the back seat.
Bentley is in the process of updating its range to flaunt a new design language. Their Continental GT and Flying Spur models have already received the treatment and the recently-revealed mid-cycle facelift of the Bentayga brought the behemoth closer to the rest of the range. The Speed version has just been announced.
There’s no denying the Bentley Bentayga has polarising looks, yet it’s been a solid sales success for the Crewe-based premium brand. The leather-lined behemoth recorded an 18 percent year-on-on-year increase in sales in 2019 and accounted for 45 per cent of the company’s production volume last year.
If you’re one of those disappointed millionaires who are not fond of the Bentley Continental GT Convertible’s design, fret not, Bentley’s got your back. Mulliner, the oldest coachbuilder in the world, will produce the 2020 Bentley Bacalar, a limited open-top Grand Tourer with 650 hp.
Following in the footsteps of the new Continental GT coupe and droptop from 2017 and 2018 respectively, Bentley has taken the covers off their 4-door sibling, the 2020 Bentley Flying Spur. Just like all Bentley generation changes, this too is a spot-the-difference game but with more differences to spot.
The behemoth from Bentley’s lineup, the Bentayga, was the fastest SUV in the world at the time it was released. But all that changed as the Lamborghini Urus came into the picture. And now, Bentley has taken another shot at the crown with an even faster version, the Bentayga Speed.
Here’s our quick video review of the all-new Bentley Continental GT that we drove from Dubai to Jebel Jais.
After more than a decade with just mild updates, an all-new Bentley Continental GT is upon us. We don’t mean to sound snooty, but we had driven different variations of the old model so many times (and Bentley was generous with new test cars annually) that at some point, we just stopped taking them because we couldn’t find much new to write about them. Yep, we said no to Bentleys. It was an excellent car, and we almost bought one for our long-term fleet years ago, but it felt like we had enough of it already. The new one changes all that with one major redesign.
The Bentley Bentayga lineup, hot after the debut of the cheaper V8 model, now gets the Bentayga Plug-in Hybrid model and it was revealed at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. But Bentley has not released details about the output, battery capacity or the range of the new Hybrid.
When Bentley’s first SUV, the Bentayga, was introduced more than two years ago, it came only with a W12 engine. A V8 diesel was added later to the lineup which opened the floodgates to many controversial debates. Now Bentley has chosen another V8 to power the Bentayga, this time it’s a petrol.
