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.
