The Bentley Continental Flying Spur is a four-door version of the Bentley Continental GT produced from 2005. The new Flying Spur is being built by Bentley as its fastest four-door model ever, and a capable grand tourer, though motoring journalists have taken exception to its bland, unadventurous styling.
It is equipped with a 6 L, twin-turbocharged W12 engine producing 552 hp, 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 Volkswagen D platform, up until 2005 in Crewe and since then in the Transparent Factory in Dresden (Germany). 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.
It was designed by the same team that produced the Continental GT. Sales for the new model commenced in spring 2005.
