Bentley celebrates three seminal four-door sedans with the 2025 Flying Spur anniversary tributes. Each new model draws inspiration from historic milestones, highlighting Bentley’s evolution over six decades.
1965 T Series – A New Era
The T Series debuted at the 1965 Paris Motor Show as Bentley’s first monocoque model. Lower, narrower, and shorter than its predecessor, it offered more interior space. Its 6.2-litre V8 produced 202 PS, reaching 62 mph in just over 10 seconds. The Heritage Collection example, VIN 0001, was restored to Shell Grey with a blue leather and Burr Walnut interior.
Flying Spur Azure Tribute
The 2025 Flying Spur Azure mirrors the T Series ethos, combining a 680 PS High Performance Hybrid powertrain with luxury features. Mulliner’s Shell Grey exterior echoes the original, and 22” six tri-spoke wheels are remastered to match. The blue-grey hide interior, Burr Walnut veneer, and mood lighting create a welcoming classic ambience.
1985 Turbo R – Performance Benchmark
Introduced in 1985, the Turbo R transformed Bentley’s performance image. The 6¾-litre V8 with Garrett T04 turbo produced 298 bhp, reaching 62 mph in 7.0 seconds. The Heritage Collection car, a 1991 model in Brooklands Green with Magnolia hide, exemplifies comfort and high-speed capability.
Flying Spur Speed Tribute
The 2025 Flying Spur Speed channels Turbo R performance with a combined 782 PS V8 and e-motor. Acceleration to 60 mph takes just 3.3 seconds. Mulliner’s Brooklands Green exterior and Monaco Yellow coachline honor the original, while Linen and Cumbrian Green interior hides mirror the historic design.
2005 Continental Flying Spur W12 – Modern Luxury
Bentley’s first four-door of the Volkswagen AG era launched in 2005 with a 6.0-litre W12 engine, achieving over 200 mph top speed. The Heritage Collection holds the first production RHD Continental Flying Spur, VIN 20001, finished in Cypress Green with Saddle and Cognac hides.
Mulliner Flying Spur Speed Tribute
The Mulliner-built 2025 Flying Spur captures the first Continental Flying Spur’s spirit. Its Special Green main hide with Saddle contrast, 22″ ten-spoke sports wheels, and dual-finish Burr Walnut fascia showcase bespoke craftsmanship. Pinstriped details and embroidered emblems reinforce the heritage-inspired design.
Celebrating Bentley Heritage
The trio of anniversary Flying Spurs demonstrates Bentley’s commitment to preserving historical design while incorporating 2025 performance and luxury standards. Each car reflects its predecessor’s personality, linking decades of innovation to today’s high-performance, bespoke craftsmanship.
Mulliner Personalisation and Legacy
Mulliner’s work on the Flying Spurs demonstrates meticulous attention to detail. Each bespoke interior and exterior is directly influenced by the Heritage Collection, ensuring historical accuracy alongside modern luxury and technology.
Summary
Bentley’s 2025 Flying Spur anniversary tributes honor the T Series, Turbo R, and Continental Flying Spur. With Mulliner personalisation and Heritage Collection inspiration, these cars celebrate six decades of four-door innovation and luxury.
