2009 Bentley Continental Flying Spur: Facelift Model Gets 600Hp Speed Version

Bentley has taken the wraps off its revised 2009 Continental Flying Spur sedan that now includes a sportier edition dubbed “Speed” equipped with the same 600Hp W12 twin-turbocharged engine offered in the Continental GT Speed delivering 600Hp -48Hp more than the standard version. The most powerful 4-door car ever produced by the British manufacturer has a 0-60mph time of 4.5 sec (0-100km/h in 4.8sec) and a top speed of 200mph (322km/h).

Other mechanical changes include the lowered ride height, uprated and redesigned suspension as well as retuned steering system. The Flying Spur Speed is distinguished by the front grille and lower intakes finished in dark chrome, the wider exhaust tail pipes and the bespoke 20-inch alloy wheels wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero UHP performance tires. Inside the most notable change is the 3-spoke sport leather steering wheel. -Continued
