If you prefer to
stay within the VW Group family and get something similar, you could wait for
its platform sibling, the 2019 Bentley Flying Spur that we recently spied
winter-testing in Sweden.
Bentley's upcoming sedan remains very well covered
up, just as any of the previous prototypes we saw, ever since it went from test
mule to production body last summer.
Since the Flying Spur is
basically the four-door version of the all-new Continental GT, we have a pretty
good idea as to what it will look like, especially when viewed from the front.
Otherwise, this should be a very sleek and luxurious
four-door saloon, not to mention lengthy, riding on the VW Group's MSB-F
architecture - used for both the Porsche Panamera as well as the new
Continental GT. Aside from being both rear and all-wheel drive compatible (and
electrified), the platform will support a wide array of electronics, from
active safety systems, to modern convenience gizmos.
It will also feature the Continental GT's fully
digital and configurable instrument panel, with a 12.3-inch display, plus top
notch materials such as natural leathers and hand-polished chrome accents.
Aside from a planned plug-in hybrid version, the
Flying Spur's engine range will include a 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12, which
already produces 635 PS and 900 Nm of torque underneath
the Continental GT's massive bonnet. Since the latter can sprint to 96
km/h in just 3.6 seconds, the Flying Spur might also manage a sub 4-second
time.
The 2019 Bentley Flying Spur will make its debut
sometime in late 2018.
