Bentley is celebrating three important anniversaries in 2025 with special Flying Spur models, each inspired by a key Bentley four-door car from the past. The 1965 T Series, the 1985 Turbo R, and the 2005 Continental Flying Spur, all of which have their anniversaries in 2025, have been commemorated by Mulliner, Bentley’s bespoke division.
- Three special Flying Spurs celebrate historic models from 1965, 1985, and 2005.
- Mulliner division reinterprets the classics with modern design and hybrid power.
1965 Bentley T Series (60 years)
The T Series was a landmark for Bentley, introducing the carmaker’s first monocoque construction and a modern design that maximised interior space. It was powered by a 202hp, 6.2-litre V8, and became known for its smooth and effortless performance with a top speed of 180kph.
2025 tribute: Bentley Flying Spur Azure
The Flying Spur Azure pays tribute to the T Series with a 680hp, V8 hybrid powertrain that offers both power and refinement. The car is finished in Shell Grey, a colour recreated from the original 1965 car, with 22-inch tri-spoke wheels and bright chrome details that are reminiscent of the T Series’ classic look.
Inside, the Azure combines blue-grey and Beluga leather, Burr Walnut veneer, and refined details inspired by the original. Advanced features such as Bentley Wellness seating, Bentley Dynamic Ride, a Naim audio system, and a rotating display create a modern cabin that stays true to the spirit of the T Series.
1985 Bentley Turbo R (40 years)
The 1985 Turbo R was a turning point for Bentley, bringing back high performance to the marque. It featured a turbocharged 6.75-litre V8 that helped it accelerate from 0-100kph in just 7 seconds. All of this transformed the large sedan into a powerful yet refined machine. Improved suspension gave it sharper handling, earning it a reputation as a true driver’s Bentley
2025 tribute: Bentley Flying Spur Speed
The Flying Spur Speed continues the Turbo R’s legacy with a 782hp, V8 hybrid powertrain that accelerates from 0-100km/h in just 3.3 seconds but can also cruise silently in electric mode for up to 75km. The car is finished in Brooklands Green with a Monaco Yellow coachline, and features 22-inch swept-spoke wheels and an illuminated Flying B mascot.
The interior features a mix of Linen and Cumbrian Green leather with Dark Burr Walnut veneer for warmth and contrast. Chrome highlights add a modern touch, while yellow stitching and emblems link the cabin design to the yellow coachline on the exterior.
2005 Bentley Continental Flying Spur (20 years)
The 2005 Continental Flying Spur was Bentley’s first modern four-door under Volkswagen ownership and the first to exceed 320kph. With its 6-litre W12 engine and all-wheel drive, it combined supercar performance with luxury comfort for four passengers. Its design and success helped define the modern Bentley sedan.
2025 tribute: Bentley Mulliner Flying Spur Speed
The Mulliner Flying Spur Speed reimagines the 2005 model for a new generation. Its Cypress Green paint, carbon-fibre body styling, and 22-inch ten-spoke wheels give it a contemporary look. A saddle brown-coloured pinstripe adds to the subtle detailing that Bentley is renowned for.
Inside, the cabin features Special Green and Saddle leather with diamond quilting and embroidered Bentley emblems. The dashboard features open-pore and gloss Burr Walnut veneers with a Cypress Green pinstripe in between them, which continues across the air vents and door trims.
