History of Bentley Flying Spur

Flying Spur

The power of the possible

The Bentley Flying Spur is the ultimate four-door sedan, designed for both drivers and passengers. It comfortably seats four adults and delivers impressive power and agility. With its smooth acceleration, precise handling, and all-wheel drive, every ride is an exceptional experience, blending high performance with luxurious craftsmanship.

The Flying Spur

The first generation of the Continental Flying Spur debuted in 2005 as a stylish four-door sibling to the 2003 Continental coupe. It combined the sporty performance of the GT with the spaciousness and luxury of a grand touring sedan. There were two exciting versions: the Speed, which enhanced performance and highlighted its sporty design, and Series 51, focused on stunning aesthetics with a unique three-tone interior, allowing for endless personalization options.

Continental Flying Spur (2005-2012)

Launched in 2005, the Continental Flying Spur featured a powerful 6-liter twin-turbo W12 engine, giving it an impressive presence and a top speed of over 190 mph. Its steering, suspension, and chassis worked seamlessly together for a unique driving experience. In 2008, the Continental Flying Spur Speed was introduced, hitting an exciting 200 mph. In 2012, the Series 51 edition emphasized design and personalization, marking the end of the first generation before the new model was released.

Continental Flying Spur Speed (2008)

The Continental Flying Spur Speed draws inspiration from the iconic Speed models of 1923. With a lower stance and sleek design tweaks, it has a sportier, more aggressive look. Thanks to new low-friction engine components, this model features an upgraded engine management system that boosts torque by 15% and power by 9%.

Continental Flying Spur Series 51 (2012)

The Bentley styling philosophy is all about unique colors and materials. With Series 51, customers could customize their Continental Flying Spur by choosing from an exclusive selection of colors and features created by the design team in Crewe. This made each car truly one-of-a-kind!
