Breathing with the assistance of twin turbochargers, the Continental Flying Spur's 6.0-liter W-12 moves the vehicle with great ease.
Retuned speed-sensitive power steering with solid-mounted front sub frame and stiffer rear bushings for better steering response
Pricing starts at $181,200, which is quite reasonable when you consider that the Continental Flying Spur is essentially a four-door version of the Continental GT, which lists at a significantly higher $205,600?
The brawny drive train will rocket the big sedan from 0-60 mph in less than 5.0 seconds and see it reach a top speed of 194 mph. If this is not enough, a high-performance variant dubbed the Continental Flying Spur Speed is available and comes with no less than 600 horsepower and 554 pound-feet of torque. Performance results of this model are nothing short of amazing, with the 0-60 mph sprint taking just 4.5 seconds and top speed maxing out at 200 mph--performance some super cars would be jealous of.
The Continental Flying Spur is also available with an adaptive cruise control system as well as a premium Naim audio system with a 1,100 Watt amplifier--one of the most powerful units offered in a production car.
The Continental Flying Spur Arabia and the Continental Flying Spur Speed Arabia retain all the potent performance of the company’s Continental Flying Spur and Spur Speed, the world’s fastest luxury four-door saloon, but with a range of additional exterior and interior features to create the ultimate in distinguished, elegant driving developed for the Arabic market.
The Flying Spur Speed Arabia offers a more powerful 600 bhp (610 ps, 449 kW) version of Bentley’s highly acclaimed W12 with 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. Unique wheels are also offered on both models. For the Continental Flying Spur Speed Arabia, vibrant and sporty, bright silver, 10-spoke, 20-inch wheels are included, and are also compatible with optional carbon ceramic brakes.
Geoff Dowding, Regional Director, Asia and Middle East, comments:

Bentley has a long and proud tradition of being able to design, engineer and personalise our cars to the individual styling and driving tastes of our customers and these special-edition Bentleys showcase these skills for the Middle East Market”.
