The Bentley Continental Flying Spur is a four-door version of
the Bentley Continental GT coupe. The Flying Spur was introduced
in 2005, and is currently Bentley's fastest four-door saloon.
The Bentley Flying Spur is equipped with a 6.0L, twin-turbocharged
W12 engine producing 552 hp (412 kW), with a top speed of 195
mph (314 km/h). Four-wheel drive is standard. As with the Continental
GT, the Flying Spur is built on the Volkswagen D platform. Largely,
it could be considered a rebadged Volkswagen Phaeton with a
different styling and a more powerful engine, most of the technical
components being identical to those on the Phaeton. The car
was designed by the same team that produced the Continental
GT.
