Flying Spur


The Bentley Continental flying Spur

In the picture above, there are basically two objects, me and if you get the other I’d be impressed. It’s a Bently. Do I hear you say the Bently Continental? *bell rings* you’re so wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s the Bently Continental Flying Spur!!!!!!!!!!
Merely looking at the picture above, almost no one could tell it was the flying spur. It shares the same platform as the 2 door continental, but it has two more extra doors. Also up on offer is the famous W12 engine from Volkswagen. The Flying spurs has all of the advantages of the coupe and none of the draw backs.
The Bentley continental is what Volkswagen used in relaunching the Bentley line, its to Bentley what the Cayenne is to Porsche. The Continental has a monumental 12 cylinder engine in the form of a W12. Its every footballers dream car and almost all your favorite EPL players have one or have owned one in the past.

Bentley Continental Flying Spur
Its what you’d call a real executive super saloon. With a 12 cylinder naturally aspirated engine with over 500Hp, it’s no slouch!!!!!!!!!!!! 0-100 times are under 5seconds and with prices starting at 180 grand($), its not for everyone. This one seen here was quoted at 28Million naira!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s about all the money our Naija boy won in the Big brother all stars, now thats a worthy way to spend $200,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS: I’d have given u’all more pictures, but my regular Camera man (jigga) was unavailable. I had to make do with Bode who’s an Amateur

  2. it is a lovely car but has few draw backs,
    the six speed gear box is a bit too slow,
    it is like bentley is running out of design, copying porshe with the panamera and aston with rapide, and sure maserrati tried dis with the quattroporte.
    sum up: they r still no super coupes.

  3. @ Emeka..... the Flying spur has been around long before the Panamera and the Rapide. so it can't be "Copying" those models. Its more of an executive saloon than a coupe. as you can see from the layout of the roof. as for the gear box being 'too slow', i'm pretty sure u're refering to some video in which some car analyst said so.... in everyday driving, i'm sure it'd prove more than silky smooth.
