[7] The Speed model of the Flying Spur was introduced in 2008 as a higher performance variant with revised ceramic disc brakes and tuned to produce 602 horsepower.

The front received a new grille with vertical slats, akin to those of Rolls-Royce era Bentleys, while the rear features new taillights that incorporate a B motif.

The bonnet mascot is now illuminated at night, electrically deployable, and capable of meeting pedestrian impact requirements.

The interior boasts an optional rotating 12.3 in (31.2 cm) display and an all-new Touch Screen remote that allows rear occupants to control several systems.

The plug-in hybrid variant uses a 2.9 liter V6 engine combined with a 14.1 kilowatt-hour battery to deliver a claimed electric range of 40 kilometers (25 miles) and a 0-60 time of 4.1 seconds.

The Flying Spur became the only Bentley sedan model after the production of the Mulsanne ended in the second quarter of 2020 without a direct successor.

[20] In March 2021, Bentley issued a recall for a single Flying Spur due to an improper welding process used on the fuel tank.

The interior features open pore koa wood and piano linen console, tweed panels and a three-colour hide combination.
