6 Bentley Continental Flying Spur
Base List Price: TBA
Long known for costly British-built motorcars, Bentley turned to a lower-priced model in 2004: the Continental GT coupe. For the 2006 model year, a companion sedan enters the picture.
The Continental Flying Spur is the fastest four-door Bentley ever. Inspired by the company’s Continental Flying Spur sedan of 1957, the new sedan is called a “grand tourer born of a coupe.” Essentially, you get everything offered in the Continental GT, including a 552-horsepower turbocharged W-12, along with enhanced luxury and space.
The Continental Flying Spur was developed to “match world-beating technologies with renowned craftsmanship,” said Bentley chairman Dr. Franz-Josef Paefgen. “It is a performance car but not at the cost of comfort ... a sumptuous and spacious four-door grand tourer with the heart and soul of a high-performance coupe.”
Like the Continental GT coupe, the Continental Flying Spur has all-wheel drive. Bentley claims acceleration from a standstill to 60 mph occurs in 4.9 seconds. The Continental Flying Spur’s global launch began in April 2005.
