2011 Bentley Continental Flying Spur

When it comes to large luxury sedans, after leaving the field $ 100k to the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class flagship, it has surprisingly few options for the buyer looking for a four-door practicality, driving excitement and over-top luxury. Only recently we have seen newcomers like the Porsche Panamera and the Rolls-Royce Ghost enter this segment, however, Bentley Continental Flying Spur, which is in force since 2006, is certainly worth a look.



The 2011 model is relatively unchanged from that specified in the previous year that Bentley was to save his changes in a facelifted version introduced for model year 2012. Prices start at $ 181 200, which is quite reasonable when you consider that the Continental Flying Spur is essentially a four-door version of the Continental GT, which sells for U.S. $ 205 600 significantly higher.

The important thing is, you get the same twin-turbo 6.0-liter W-12 engine found in two doors, and all of 552 horsepower and 479 pound-feet with it. To all that power will be enough land six-speed automatic and a sophisticated four-wheel drive.

Transmission should be a big heavy sedan rocket 0-60 mph in 5.0 seconds and see it reach a top speed of 194 mph. If this is not enough, high-performance variant, known as the Continental Flying Spur Speed ​​is available and comes with no less than 600 horsepower and 554 pound-feet of torque. The results of the performance of this model is nothing short of amazing, with 00-60 mph sprint taking just 4.5 seconds and top speed is maxing 200 mph - the performance of some of the supercar would be jealous.



At the end of the day, it's even a Bentley, we are talking about from the inside was obviously always going to be spoiled and very opulent. The cabin is almost identical to the Continental GT with dual cockpit theme dressed in walnut veneer or chestnut. Everything is precisely hand-cut and matched to create a mirror symmetry of the grain of the image.

Sitting front and center of the dashboard is a Breitling watch, flanked by a hand-stitched leather steering wheel, stainless steel pedals and footrest, and chrome really called ventilation. The Continental Flying Spur is also available with an adaptive cruise control and Naim audio system with amplifier 1100 watts of high-end - one of the most powerful units available in a production car.
