2008 Bentley Continental Flying Spur

Vehicle Summary: 2008 Bentley Continental Flying Spur

The Continental Flying Spur is the smaller of Bentley's two full-size sedans, and based on the Continental GT Coupe, which was a smash hit for the brand. It features a twin-turbo 12-cylinder engine good for more than 500 horsepower and all-wheel drive to make sure all that thrust gets to the pavement. The Flying Spur balances high levels of luxury and comfort with impressive performance ? chauffeurs can really have some fun with this one. It also exudes Bentley's trademark British ostentation, which is part of the attraction.
