The Bentley Flying Spur isn’t quite here yet but the English brand has seen fit to release an unusual teaser – focusing on a strange new leather trim effect.

Two photographs have been sent to the media showing a new 3D textured leather door trim insert. Similar to quilting from a distance, the close-up shot proves that it’s nothing like.

Through a mystery process, Bentley’s craftspeople have been able to tease deep diamond-esque shapes out of a single sheet of leather. In turn the shapes create vastly more highlight and shadow contrast than other existing finishes, and it must be a joy to photograph.

The Flying Spur will share most of the same improvements as the Continental GT, including the Porsche Panamera-derived chassis, 70kg weight saving, better weight distribution and the pairing of W12 and V8 engines; the latter being all-new and a further 70kg lighter.

In the Continental GT, the W12 produces 626bhp and will send the autobahn-crusher to 207mph. The 4.0-litre V8 is slightly less mental, with 542bhp to speak of, but the front-end weight saving should more than compensate on the GT. The four-door Flying Spur, though, was made for the big W, and we’re looking forward to the reveal.

It seems like something you’d have to see and feel for yourself irl to really know if it’s cool or not.
