Bentley Flying Spur: The Performance Luxury Sedan

The Flying Spur is Bentley's four-door grand touring saloon, combining limousine-grade luxury with the performance of the Continental GT.

Introduced in 2005 as a sedan companion to the Continental GT, the Flying Spur revived a name from Bentley's coachbuilt past. It offered the same potent twin-turbo engines and all-wheel drive in a spacious four-door body, creating one of the fastest and most luxurious sedans in the world.

Buyers could enjoy the Flying Spur from behind the wheel or, just as often, from the lavishly appointed rear seats. Hand-finished wood, leather, and metalwork combined with serene refinement and effortless straight-line speed from the W12 or V8 powertrains.

Now in its later generations as a standalone model, the Flying Spur has become a benchmark performance luxury sedan, rivaling Rolls-Royce for opulence while offering a more driver-focused character.
