Each year the Geneva Motor Show is the venue for luxury automakers to debut their newest products, with Bentley just announcing exactly what it has in store.

With a lone teaser sketch, Bentley will debut its next-generation Flying Spur sedan, following a natural product progression that saw the second-gen Continental GT arrive in 2011 and the Continental GT Convertible last year.

While history teaches us not to expect any surprises in its design, more recently reports have surfaced that Luc Donckerwolke, the new design director at the British luxury brand, is planning a more distinct look.

What is certain is the use of a twin-turbo 6.0-liter W12 engine under the hood making around 567 hp, while the brand’s new turbocharged V8 is also a strong possibility.

Full details will be announced February 20th, with the world premiere in Geneva on March 6th.

He has won numerous automotive journalism awards including the Best Video Journalism Award in 2014 and 2015 from the Automotive Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). Colum founded Geared Content Studios, VerticalScope's in-house branded content division and works to find ways to integrate brands organically into content.
