SCOOP! SPIED For The FIRST Time On Camera, We See The All-New Bentley Flying Spur In ACTION

Making its long-awaited debut, the all-new Bentley Continental GT appeared for the first time at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA). Boasting completely new bodywork and an all-new, much more high-tech interior, it's exciting to see the marque evolve.

But that's merely one piece in the Bentley product portfolio.

Now, we await the Flying Spur. Closely related to the Continental GT, the Flying Spur is the more practical, four-door sibling. Until now there's only been one story — that I can find — on the internet regarding the all-new Flying Spur in its production body.

Today, we're upping the ante thanks to a friend of AutoSpies, Toldi. Spotted on a highway in Stuttgart, Toldi captured video of the all-new Flying Spur in motion. 

It's clear that the company has finalized its exterior design as the heavy cladding have been removed. Anyone care to take bets where the all-new B-car will be revealed? LA? Detroit? Geneva? New York?

Note: I've added shots of the all-new Continental GT below just for comparison.

Having all those PR shots of the Continental was massively helpful. I could not have imagined how the meet-the-new-Bentley-same-as-the-old-Bentley Flying Spur would look.

Like the new GT, you will need them side by side to notice the difference on the exterior. The interior will speak for itself.

The existing Flying Spur (well, 'existing' from a metaphysical standpoint as Bentley has effectively stopped producing them about a year ago, to work down inventory and to steer 4-door buyers into the Bentayga) is one of the rare vehicles whose appearance got WORSE during its mid-cycle refresh (2014). The rear 3/4 view of the existing Flying Spur just sucks - it looks like the design department just gave up when they got done with the front doors. With the flush, bland, mono-tone tail lights, it looks kind of like an AMC Pacer from the rear - bland, flabby, and blob-like. Its 1970's all over again - some Chrysler Town and Country and "Imperial" cars come to mind.

The rear end of the Mulsanne is quite good looking and Bentley could do worse than to just copy the Mulsanne's styling.

Then you factor in that it's a rebodied Phaeton--what a pile that was
