Bentley Continental Flying Spur Overview

The Flying Spur features a luxurious handcrafted interior with a large variety of custom trim options, including aluminum and numerous types of wood veneers. Several wheel styles in chrome and painted finishes are available. The new Flying Spur Speed features dark chromed radiator and lower grilles, sports-tuned exhaust, lowered sports suspension, 20-inch alloy wheels with performance tires, "diamond quilted" leather seat facings, and other interior upgrades. An available sunroof includes a solar panel that powers ventilation fans when the vehicle is stationary to maintain interior temperatures. A refrigerated bottle cooler in the rear armrest and a rear reversing camera is also available. New for 2009, optional fade-resistant carbon ceramic brakes (available on 20-inch wheels) provide improved brake feel. Radar-based Adaptive Cruise Control; an iPod, MP3 and USB interface; and a Naim stereo system designed exclusively for Bentley, are also new options.

For 2009, the Bentley Continental Flying Spur's exterior changes include a more upright front grill, larger air intakes and a sleeker rear bumper. Mechanical changes include revised spring, anti-roll bar and damper settings; retuned power steering settings, and a 'Sport Traction' mode for the electronic stability control. There are also several new color choices for exterior paint and leather seat trim. The Flying Spur Speed trim is new for 2009.
