There are luxury saloons, and then there are luxury saloons. The four-door Flying Spur is similar to Bentleys Continental GT coupe. The two cars utilize the same basic architecture, drivetrain and styling cues. In terms of size, the Flying Spur is about 20 inches longer than the GT. The additional length has been put to good use for providing the rear-seat occupants with ample room to stretch out. Bentley says it made an extra effort to minimize the Flying Spurs weight increase; indeed, the car weighs only about 200 pounds more than the GT, although, at about 5,500 pounds, its never going to be considered a feisty sport sedan. The Bentley Continental Flying Spur does pack plenty of power, though. In line with the companys performance-themed tradition, the Spurs 552-horsepower, twin-turbo W12 can propel the car forward at rates similar to those of a BMW M3. In the higher ranges, the Flying Spur will leave most sports cars in the dust as it accelerates to its near 200-mph top speed. Braking distances and resistance to fade are equally impressive. Meanwhile, occupants are treated to a finely detailed interior and the latest luxury- and technology-oriented features. The Flying Spur is indeed a rare bird. Its performance is a step ahead most other ultrapremium luxury saloons, and it can actually be fun to drive. To protect its occupants, the Continental Flying Spur is equipped with a full suite of safety equipment. There are side and side curtain airbags for front and rear outboard passengers. A passenger occupant sensing system in the rear seats automatically raises the rear headrests to ensure the best possible protection against whiplash injuries. Antilock brakes, traction control and stability control are also standard equipment. Interior Design and Special Features Entering the Flying Spur means being hit by a flood of premium leather that covers everything from the seats and door panels to the rear parcel shelf and headliner. That which isnt leather appears to be wood -- unbleached, unstained and mirror-matched (door-to-door) burled walnut. The rear seats provide ample room. The Flying Spurs boot can hold 16.7 cubic feet of luggage.
