Bentley has announced its 40-strong retail network in China is now fully open, as the country gradually returns to work following the Covid-19 outbreak. Simultaneously, the luxury British marque is starting customer deliveries of the all-new Flying Spur, its luxury Grand Touring sedan, in the country.
The all-new Flying Spur sets a new benchmark for modern luxury Grand Touring, and represents the perfect fusion of performance-orientated agility and exclusive, four-door, limousine-style comfort.
Emphasising the breadth of choice available to customers, 127 unique exterior paint and interior colour split combinations have been selected so far. In addition, adorning the Flying Spur for the very first time, the electronically-deployed, hood-mounted Flying B mascot is proving China’s most popular option with more than 50 per cent of customers choosing this iconic symbol.
The more purposeful and athletic stance of the Flying Spur benefits from an extended wheelbase, while the interior is unmistakably Bentley. Stylish design lines flow through the cabin, while three-dimensional diamond quilted leather doors inserts are a world first and new-design fluted leather seats feature diamond quilting for the Mulliner Driving Specification. In the rear, a state-of-the-art detachable Touch Screen Remote Control can be used to operate all major functions.
State-of-the-art driver assistance technologies include a Night Vision infra-red camera, Traffic Assist, Blind Sport Warning and a Head-Up Display, while the new model’s Advanced Connectivity services allow drivers to be more connected than ever before.
For the first time ever in a Bentley, the all-new Flying Spur features Electronic All-Wheel Steering, coupled with Active All-Wheel Drive and Bentley Dynamic Ride, all merging to deliver phenomenal handling and ride. Power comes from an enhanced version of Bentley’s 6.0-litre, twin-turbocharged W12.
First customer deliveries took place across Europe and the UK in the first quarter of 2020, with deliveries scheduled to begin in Eastern Markets, North America and the rest of Asia later this year.
