Compared with the cash Flying car, the design of the new car has been greatly improved both inside and outside, and the refinement and luxury have been upgraded again. In terms of power, the new car carries a 6.0L twin-turbocharged W12 engine.

In fact, Flying has a history of 60 years, and its predecessor, Continental Flying, appeared in the market as early as 1959. With its luxury and sports design, it has sold more than 1900 units. In 1998, Bentley, which belongs to Volkswagen, launched a new generation of Continental Flying cars, which became the backbone of Bentley at that time. In 2013, Flying Speedway officially became an independent car series and continued to provide sufficient profits for Bentley. In 2019, the new generation of models officially launched, it will still be the main force of Bentley to hit the market for the brand, the application of new technology, but also let it keep up with the pace of the times.

Next, let's take a look at the performance of this car:

The new generation of Flying Speedway achieves a sculptural appearance with an elegant and muscular design language. The new Flying grille adopts a bright black matrix design and the outer layer is decorated with bright chrome-plated vertical strips, paying homage to the design of the Bentley S1 Continental Flying car, which was born in 1957. The matrix grille in the lower part of the front of the car can also be equipped with black or bright chrome plating design. In terms of technology, the headlamp uses a matrix LED light source, which has a better performance in terms of lighting effect. It is worth mentioning that the new Bentley has redesigned the flying wing "B" logo (Flying B) of the front, in which the flying wing can be lit and the lift can be controlled in the car according to the demand.

The new Feichi combines luxury charm and advanced technology, and the interior design is made by Bentley craftsmen. The design of the dashboard and center console echoes the shape of the double wing "B" logo. Its leather interior offers 15 colors to choose from.

The newly added straight-grain walnut wood decoration realizes the exquisite wood decoration panel with modern flavor through special cutting technology. In addition to the popular deep violin back eucalyptus and piano blackwood, there are five kinds of finishes for customers to choose from. All finishes can be customized for dual-tone appearance.

In addition, the new generation of Flying Speedway can be equipped with the "Mulliner driving kit", in which Bentley introduces the three-dimensional diamond leather interior design for the first time for the leather door panel finish, which presents a layered feel through the leather undulation on the basis of no stitches. At the same time, the new car also uses diamond-like patches at various knobs and air outlets. According to Bentley's official description, there are up to 5331 such patches in the car.

The new generation of Flying Speedway carries the 6.0L twin-turbocharged W12 engine, which is praised by Bentley as the most advanced engine in the century history. Compared with the V12 engine in the same class, the W12 engine achieves a more optimized body weight distribution. The maximum power is 635PS and the peak torque is 900N ·m. The transmission matches the ZF 8-speed double clutch gearbox with a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 3.8s. The vehicle can reach a maximum speed of 333km/h in sixth gear and overspeed in seventh and eighth gear.

In general, many of the design elements of the new generation of Bentley are from the family, while adding a lot of luxurious and more advanced configurations and materials, which is one of the reasons why each generation attracts a lot of consumption. even if you can't buy it, you have to watch. Not to mention whether it can be compared with Rolls-Royce, but compared with their own Continental GT and Muchan, speeding is definitely the most fashionable, whether driving or riding, will give car owners the pleasure of "speeding".
