最近谍照记者在纽伯格林赛道拍到了正在测试的下一代宾利飞驰，不过，这款车采用了大量伪装。虽然车身的大量伪装让人兴趣顿减，但在看过宾利新一代欧陆GT后会确信，这辆更注重实用性的四门车同样会更漂亮。有传言称，新一代飞驰将不仅仅是欧陆GT的四门轿车版本，宾利设计师有意对飞驰进行更多改款，从而让飞驰与欧陆GT之间有更多的不同。快速查询了该车的车牌和英国司机和车辆执照管理局文件，发现这辆车是去年3月作为白车身（是指完成焊接但未涂装之前的车辆）登记注册的。文件显示飞驰搭载了大众集团新的6.0升W12双涡轮增压引擎，这台引擎不仅搭载在飞驰上，还提供给了欧陆GT、添越和新一代奥迪A8W12等车型。预计该车输出功率达到626马力@5000转/分，扭矩900牛米@1350转/分。上一代飞驰重量达到2475公斤，预计新车重量将降低80公斤。预计新一代飞驰将于明年发布，随后将于年底推出欧陆GT敞篷版。

 

2019 Bentley Flying Spur Shows Its Weird Camo At The Nurburgring

Whether it’s for testing a front-wheel drive small hatchback, an all-wheel drive SUV or a rear-wheel drive performance car, the Nürburgring is the go-to place for most automakers looking to perfect their upcoming products. The most recent example would have to be the next-generation Flying Spur, which was caught earlier this week tackling the Green Hell while carrying an abundance of disguise.

 

The camo attire makes it rather unattractive, but having seen the new Continental GT, you can rest assured its more practical four-door counterpart will be a looker. Interestingly, rumor has it the new Flying Spur will be more than just a sedan version of the Conti in terms of styling as it is believed Bentley’s designers have made additional tweaks to further separate the two models.

 

A quick check of the vehicle’s license plate with U.K.’s Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency shows the test vehicle was actually registered as a white car in March 2017. The same DVLA also reveals the work-in-progress Flying Spur has the Volkswagen Group’s new biturbo 6.0-liter W12 engine you’ll find not only in the aforementioned Continental GT, but also in the Bentayga and the new Audi A8 W12. Expect the output numbers to be in the same ballpark as those of Crewe’s coupe, which offers 626 horsepower from 5,000 rpm and a massive 664 pound-feet (900 Newton-meters) of torque from a low 1,350 rpm.

 

At 2,475 kilograms (5,456 pounds), the outgoing Flying Spur is not exactly light, but the good news a diet is expected from its successor considering the new Continental GT has shaved off 80 kg (176 lbs). That might not seem like a lot given the sedan’s weight, but it’s still something.

 

Expect the wraps to come off in 2019, following the unveiling of the Continental GT Convertible later this year.
