T he new Bentley Continental Flying Spur defines all that encompasses a Bentley . It combines ultimate saloon luxury , power and performance to deliver the ultimate motoring experience .
Making its global debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March earlier this year , the 2013 Flying Spur is Bentley ’ s most powerful four-door model ever and features state-of-the-art technology .
Behind the elegant yet muscular exterior design , the 6.0-litre , twin-turbo W12 engine coupled with an eight-speed transmission can propel the Flying Spur from 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds and on to a top speed of 200 mph . The new Flying Spur features more power than any other four-door Bentley in history . The new chassis strengthens the car yet leaves it more aerodynamic and 50 kilos lighter than its predecessor .
The side feature line runs along the car from the rear wheel arch in parallel with the low roof , down to its hand-fitted chrome front grille . The bi-Xenon headlights with daylight-running LEDs complete a powerful visage when viewed from head on . Finally , new 19-inch tyres have higher sidewalls to improve ride comfort , while drivers can select from four suspension settings .
From the sharp lines of its super-formed aluminium exterior to the hand-crafted hides and veneers that adorn the interior , the expertise of Bentley ’ s craftsmen is evident throughout . Every seam in the A-Grade leather is individually sewn . Every layer of veneer is lacquered and polished by hand , the entire cabin has been hand-fitted and tested to ensure exact Bentley perfection .
Inside , virtually every element of the cabin has been redesigned to create the very last word in luxury ; encased by a tasteful leather and wood veneer environment . This is combined seamlessly with state-of-the-art technology at the driver ’ s and passenger ’ s fingertips . Touch-screen infotainment and mobile connectivity including Wi-Fi , plus a rear seat entertainment suite that has a bespoke handheld touchscreen remote , all make for advanced technology from the comfort of pure luxury .
The Bentley Premium Audio System delivers unprecedented sound . Each of the 11 Balanced Mode Radiator ( BMR ) speakers combines all the functions of a regular speaker into one compact and neat unit , positioned around the car to provide optimum audio pleasure with incredible clarity .
Dr . Wolfgang Schreiber , Bentley chairman and chief executive , says : “ The new Bentley Flying Spur marks a big step forward . We have redesigned and re-engineered almost every part of the car . In simple words , we have created the best luxury sedan in the world – a perfect combination of exquisite refinement , effortless performance , elegant styling and state-ofthe-art technology .”
In true Bentley tradition , every aspect of the new Flying Spur is designed and crafted to perfection . The objective is simple , it combines traditional Bentley styling with an athletic design to be the very best in luxury and performance .
