Bentley Flying Spur 2020.
Bentley Flying Spur 2020 or 2nd generation luxury sedan.
The first generation of this model has become a fairly serious player in the segment of luxury sedans. It was able to surprise with high quality workmanship, aristocracy and balanced driving properties. However, a successor is hurrying to replace him. More details about it can be found below.
The new Bentley Flying Spur 2019-2020 model year was presented to the automotive community in early April. Moreover, complete data on the second generation model became known only in June. The novelty relative to its predecessor has become a more harmonious machine, and this applies to many areas.
First of all, it is worth mentioning the exterior design. The British decided to get rid of the previous dual optics of the head light in its usual manifestation — instead, more elegant lights with an expressive internal configuration were installed. In addition, the car body found muscular sides, an expressive hood and low body kit, which added to it athleticism and avant-garde.
The interior has retained a conservative style, which is now combined with highly technological equipment. The buyer is offered a choice of 15 color upholstery configurations, as well as high-quality leather and aluminum trim.
The equipment list of the British luxury sedan includes:
climate control in four zones;
projection of indications on a windshield;
multimedia system with a display of 12.3 inches.
panoramic roof glazing and much more.
Pre-orders for the new product will be available in the UK market this fall. The minimum price of the new Bentley Flying Spur 2019 will be 11 million 900 thousand rubles.
Specifications
The car shares a common platform with the German fastback Porsche Panamera, which is marked with the MSB mark from the factory. The chassis is notable for its air suspension, anti-roll system, as well as a steering axle in order to optimize the handling of the sedan.
Under the hood of the model is a 6.0-liter biturbo powertrain with a W-shaped layout of 12 cylinders. Its power output is 635 horsepower. The latter are sold on all four wheels through an eight-speed robotic transmission.
Appearance
Flaming Spur 2019 relative to the previous generation model has gained a more expressive exterior design.
The British sedan is able to pleasantly surprise fans of graceful lines and they will surely enjoy the widest wheel arches, a convex hood, a front bumper with coarse-mesh air intake sections, as well as a low roof and large exhaust pipes.
The rest will appreciate the monumental facing of the radiator with chrome spraying, elegant lighting optics on LED elements, an abundance of metal moldings, inserts.
Interior decoration
The salon welcomes its guests with impeccable attention to detail, harmonious colors, as well as unobtrusive front panel architecture. At the same time, when the ignition is turned on, the screen of the multimedia system is pulled out from the center console, and in the area of the climate system control unit you can observe stylish analog watches that have a brilliant frame.
The instrument cluster was also made analogous — as a tribute to the traditions of the brand. Moreover, the «toolbox» is read without any problems under any conditions, moreover, it is extremely informative.
Riding properties
The power unit with a recoil of 635 forces has a locomotive traction when moving with any working speed, therefore, it demonstrates exemplary elasticity even when accelerating from high speeds. The robotic box works quickly, quite smoothly, although when choosing a sports configuration, the transmission can specially simulate rough work — for the thrill of driving.
You should not expect much harshness from handling — a sedan more than 5 meters long reacts to steering wheel actions with some delay. However, the stability of the car during cornering is high, and there is no reason to doubt the stability of the set course directly, for which you need to thank the fully-controlled chassis, four-wheel drive and a system that prevents high body rolls.
As for comfort when driving, on small, medium-sized irregularities, it does not cause doubts — the ride is high. However, on large potholes, minor shocks still arise, which does not allow us to recognize the British sedan as ideal in softness.
Conclusions: The new Bentley is a car that is able to satisfy the ambitions of both the driver and the passenger. However, the focus is still on luxury and comfort, so the ride quality of the model is unlikely to hit the sophisticated driver.
