Following the official photo-packed unveiling, Bentley's all-new Continental Flying Spur was showcased in a promo video as well, with just two weeks ahead of its 2013 Geneva Motor Show debut.

A visually refreshed version of the 2005 model, because we all know Bentley sticks to tradition as a baby to its mother, the 2014 Flying Spur also has some not-so-obvious updates unless you get to drive it. We're talking about the lighter body and chassis components, the improved suspension and the more powerful engine we were telling you about three days ago.

If 616 bhp (625 PS), 0 to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 200 mph (332 km/h) are not a "statement of intent", we really don't know what is. Unless there's something awfully wrong with you, seeing this luxury-packed four-door Continental in motion should leave you in awe for a while.

So be sure to check it out below and don't be shy in letting us know what you think.
