Bentley Flying Spur
The Bentley Continental
Flying Spur is a four-door version of the
Bentley Continental GT produced from 2005.
The new Flying Spur is being billed by Bentley
as its fastest four-door model ever, and a
capable grand tourer, though motoring journalists
in the UK have taken exception to its bland,
unadventurous styling and German underpinnings.
It
is equipped with a 6 L, twin-turbocharged
12-cylinder engine producing 552 bhp, with
a top speed of 195 mph or 313 km/h. Four-wheel
drive is standard. As with the Continental
GT, the Flying Spur is built on the same platform
as the Volkswagen Phaeton, till 2005 in Crewe
and since then in the Transparent Factory
in Dresden (Germany).
It was designed by
the same team that produced the Continental
GT. Sales for the new model commenced in spring
2005.
