Evolution of a Legend

The latest Flying Spur is not merely an update—it's a complete reinvention. Shedding the "Continental" moniker, the sedan establishes its own identity while preserving the prestige of its heritage. Dimensionally larger, especially with an extended wheelbase, the new Flying Spur delivers improved presence and passenger space. The grille now stands more upright, flanked by crystal-cut LED matrix headlights that lend the front fascia a regal bearing reminiscent of high jewelry.

Exterior: Dominance in Design

Where its predecessor whispered elegance, the new Flying Spur declares it. From its enlarged grille to the stunning oval tailpipes, the design exudes confidence. The signature flying “B” hood ornament makes a triumphant return, electronically deployable for both style and security. The rear carries subtle refinements, maintaining continuity with the past but with a sportier, tauter demeanor. Every detail, from the hand-polished wheels to the sculpted lines, speaks of handcrafted sophistication.

Behind a veneer panel, the screen can morph into three analog dials, offering a blend of digital innovation and timeless analog charm. Rich leather surfaces, hand-stitched details, and customizable wood or metal trims offer limitless personalization options.
