Bentley Flying Spur Modern Flying Spur (2005+)

2005–2026 · sedan

Bentley's modern luxury sedan, derived from the Continental GT architecture across three modern generations: 1st gen (2005-2013, VW D1 platform, 6.0L W12); 2nd gen (2013-2019, refreshed D1); 3rd gen (2019-present, VW MSB platform shared with Panamera, W12 + V8 + PHEV options). 'Flying Spur' name revives the Bentley S2/S3 Continental Flying Spur (1959-1965).

Watch out: First two generations share the air-suspension and W12 cost-of-service profile of the contemporary Continental GT — neither is cheap to keep on the road. Third-generation MSB cars share their bones (and many service items) with the Porsche Panamera, which has improved parts availability vs. the older D1 cars. W12 long-term parts availability is the emerging concern as the engine sunsets.
