The 2025 Bentley Flying Spur has just been unveiled and the luxury grand tourer that was initially slated for an August release gets a 771 bhp hybrid V8 powertrain. The fourth generation of the Flying Spur ditches the old W12 engine for a more efficient alternative and comes with subtle design changes that maintain the general look of the outgoing model. The 2025 Flying Spur is Bentley’s latest rival to the Rolls Royce Ghost and the Crewe brand is going to kick off its launch with the Speed variant.

Bentley is offering a ‘First Edition’ model to celebrate the arrival of the Flying Spur Speed. With it, the car gets exclusive exterior badging along with Animated Welcome Lamps and stainless steel treadplates with ‘First Edition’ lettering.

The cabin is treated with First Edition emblems on each seat along with a list of features that are optional on the regular model. This includes the Wellness Seating configuration that provides comfort features such as auto climate and posture settings.

While the four-door saloon looks almost identical to the outgoing model, Bentley has fitted a new grille with reworked air curtains that flank it on either side. The bumper is shaped more aggressively than before with deeper contours, and the car rides on new 22-inch alloy wheels although there are numerous options for buyers to choose from.

The interior is treated with leather combined with motorsport-inspired Dinamica fabric. The doors are dressed up with 3D leather panels that stretch from the doors to the A-pillars on either end. While there is a set range of colour options to choose from, interested buyers can individually configure every little detail.

The car is fitted with a Bentley Signature Audio System as standard but a 16-channel Bang & Olufsen system or a 21-channel Naim for Bentley are available as options.
