Open the doors, and the black accents reveal themselves. The Bentley Flying Spur V8 S Black Edition adds an extra dash of style onto an already opulent luxury sedan. However, taking an initial look at it immediately raises the question why this special four-door deserves the dark name.

The disguise makes it look a lot like the current model. The all-new Bentley Flying Spur has been spotted by the spy camera a couple of times before, but in both instances it was disguised as an extra-long Porsche Panamera. Now, the lavish fullsize sedan is making headlines once again and this time around we are happy to report it has its own body panels, though most of them remain hidden underneath the black strips of camouflage. Revealed: 2020 Bentley Flying Spur Debuts As W12 Luxobarge With 626 HP Judging by the two large oval exhaust tips, it appears we are dealing with the flagship W12-powered version, but one can never be too sure when dealing with prototypes since these are usually a mix and match of parts from multitude versions of the same car.

The luxobarge looks majestic even when hiding under a car cover. We’ve been spying on the new Bentley Flying Spur since October 2016 , back when test mules were carrying Porsche Panamera bodies. Fast forward to present day, we still haven’t seen Crewe’s fullsize luxury sedan in full, but prototypes are being caught with less and less camouflage with each new batch of spy shots. Revealed: 2020 Bentley Flying Spur Debuts As W12 Luxobarge With 626 HP This particular Flying Spur is a bit more interesting than the others since it’s the electrified version.

They're quicker to 60 mph by 0.4 seconds than the rear-wheel-drive models. We knew the xDrive versions were coming ever since BMW introduced the rear-wheel-drive M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe in September 2020. They're finally here, and if you don't mind losing the stick shift since AWD is reserved to the auto-only Competition versions, these are considerably quicker than their Competition-spec RWD counterparts.

Power stays the same at 503 hp and 479 pound-feet (650 Newton-meters) of torque, but the 0-60 mph time has been shaved off by 0.4 seconds to only 3.4 seconds. The top speed is electronically capped at 155 mph (250 km/h), but the optional … [Read more...] about 2022 BMW M3, M4 Competition xDrive Debut With Better Acceleration
