The first teasers for the new Bentley Flying Spur "four-door Grand Tourer" were issued overnight. No specifics about the car have been revealed so far, but Bentley says the "full details of the new Flying Spur will be released later this year".

The new X5 M will be offered in M and M Competition guises, in keeping with the wider M GmbH range.
