When it comes to large luxury sedans, after leaving the field to the $ 100 000 BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class flagship, has surprisingly few options for the buyer looking for a practical four-door fun drive and high luxury. Only recently have we seen the newcomers, like the Porsche Panamera and the Spirit of Rolls-Royce to enter this segment, however, the Bentley Continental Flying Spur, which is in force since 2006, is definitely worth a look.
The model 2011 is relatively unchanged from the previous year's Bentley to save his changes in a facelifted version was introduced for model year 2012. Prices start at $ 181 200, which is quite reasonable when you consider that Continental Flying Spur is essentially a four-door version of the Continental GT, which sells for U.S. $ 205 600 is much higher.
The most important thing is, you get the same twin-turbo 6.0-liter W-12 engine has two doors, and all of 552 horsepower and 479 pound-feet with it. For all the power is enough to land a six-speed automatic and a sophisticated four-wheel drive.
The transmission is a large sedan heavy rocket from 00 to 60 mph 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. Results of the performance of this model is nothing short of amazing, with 00-60 mph sprint taking just 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 200 mph maxing - the performance of some of the supercar would be jealous.
At the end of the day, it's up to Bentley, we are talking about the interior was obviously always going to be spoiled and very decorative. The cabin is almost identical to the Continental GT with dual cockpit theme dressed in walnut or chestnut. Everything is carefully hand-cut and matched to create a mirror symmetry of the grain.
Sitting front and center of the dashboard is a Breitling clock, flanked by a hand-stitched leather steering wheel, pedals and footrest in stainless steel and chrome really stands ventilation. The Continental Flying Spur is also available with adaptive cruise control and audio system with Naim amplifier 1100 watts of high quality - one of the most powerful units available in a production car.
