Bentley Continental Flying Spur

The Bentley Continental Flying Spur, produced by Bentley Motors Limited from 2005 to 2013, is a four-door saloon variant of the Continental GT coupé, and is notable for a brief period of production at Volkswagen's Transparent Factory in Dresden, Germany. With a top speed of 314 km/h and Adaptive Air Suspension and Continuous Damping Control as standard, at the time, it was the world's fastest and most powerful production saloon.

• Engine: 6.0L W12 twin-turbocharged, initially offering 552 hp and later upgraded to 600 hp in the Speed variant.

• Transmission: ZF 6-speed automatic with manual shift mode, ensuring responsive and smooth gear changes.
• Suspension: Air suspension with continuous damping control, adjustable to balance ride comfort against dynamic handling needs.
• Brakes: Ventilated discs with ABS, EBD, and Brake Assist, providing superior stopping power.
• Wheels and Tyres: Offered with 19-inch alloys as standard, with 20-inch options available for enhanced performance and aesthetics.
• Performance: Accelerates from 0-60 mph in about 4.9 seconds, with a top speed of 195 mph, figures that are impressive for a full-sized luxury sedan.
• Production Specificity: Initial production diversified to Dresden, Germany, due to capacity issues at Crewe, before consolidating all assembly operations back to Crewe in early 2007.
