About this generation

The second generation of the luxury sedan, officially repositioned simply as the Flying Spur.

The second generation debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, officially dropping the Continental prefix from its commercial name to further distance the four-door sedan from the two-door coupe. Retaining a heavily revised D1 platform, the vehicle received all-new exterior sheet metal with more pronounced rear haunches and modern lighting technology. It initially launched with a 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W12 engine developing 625 horsepower paired with an eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox. In 2014, Bentley introduced a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 507 horsepower, followed by higher-output V8 S and W12 S performance models. The cabin was upgraded with improved sound insulation, high-resolution multimedia interfaces, and a removable touchscreen remote for rear occupants. The second generation maintained a strong global footprint, achieving notable sales across China, North America, the United Kingdom, and the Middle East.
