Earlier this week, we talked about the 2021 Bentley Flying Spur V8 returning as a driver's limo. But what if the said driver wishes to travel with, say, extra luggage? Well, the rendering we have here proposes a solution that's worthy of our undivided attention, namely a Wagon (call it a Shooting Brake, if you must) incarnation of the Crewe model.
Building on the press photos of the V8-animated Flying Spur, this imagination exercise delivers the kind of chiseled styling cues you'd expect from a production model.
And perhaps the most impressive visual feature of this proposal involves the muscular hips sitting on this family-friendly machine - we must thank digital label j.b.cars for this eye candy.
Come to think of it, the idea of such a body style coming to life isn't as odd as it might sound. For starters, the current Flying Spur, as well as its two-door sibling, the Continental GT, shares the MSB platform with the second-generation Porsche Panamera. And not only does the German model have a Sport Turismo model featuring the body style seen here, but its maker is also working on a similar approach for the Taycan (here's our track test of the battery-powered Porscha).
Besides, the Flying Spur has more or less replaced the luxury train that was Mulsanne at the top of the British automotive producer's range. And since we're talking about this change of guard, why not add a new-age derivative to the new halo model of the marque?
Of course, the Bentayga, of which Bentley had sold 20,000 units through June 2020, caters to the type of motoring needs mentioned in the intro. And while the company is expanding the SUV family with a long wheelbase version, a Flying Spur Shooting Brake would target a different segment of the market and, at least from where we're standing, make for a more artistic incarnation of the Flying B spirit.
