The Bentley Continental Fly Spur is an exceptional vehicle that literally screams luxury. This ultra-elegant sedan competes well with the Rolls Royce, and the well-appointed, superior performing Bentley Spur stands alone in its class. A car for the affluent, this vehicle expresses one's taste for excellence. The 2011 Bentley Continental Flying Spur shares parts with the coupe, and both variants come with All wheel Drive that serves to maximize the twelve-cylinder engine's potential. Offered in a regular or speed configuration, the Spur has a lovely interior, great driving manners, and a quiet cabin. Triple digit speeds can be achieved, and the Spur transforms the coupe offering and improves its assets and spaciousness.

The Flying Spur was redesigned in 2008 and changes were made to the styling of the rear and front of the vehicle. Such changes are minor however. Since its debut in 2005, the Flying Spur has hosted a superior design ensuring that the valet takes good care of this impressive vehicle.

What's New
The Continental Flying Spur is quieter inside than ever before. That's due to acoustic side and rear glass as well as other tweaks that result in a 5-decibel reduction in interior noise. The suspension has been retuned and, for 2011, all Continentals are FlexFuel compatible: owners can fill their tanks with regular petrol, E85 bioethanol, or a mix of the two.
Exterior
The Continental GT's powerful presence is accentuated by the addition of two rear doors. Classic circular headlights combine with an upright grille and large wheels to create a strong styling statement from any angle.
Interior
Bentley uses at least 11 hides of leather to adorn the Continental's cabin. The hand-polished wood veneers take two weeks to prepare for each Continental Flying Spur. Needless to say, interior quality is a primary reason to consider a Bentley Continental.
Performance & Handling
Continental Flying Spurs have a 552 horsepower, 6.0-liter W-12 engine. If that's not enough, get the Flying Spur Speed, which boasts 600 horsepower and a top speed of 200 mph.

Flying Spur Speed models are 0.4 inches lower than the standard model and have larger anti-roll bars and an upgraded Bosch 8.1 stability control system.
