2008 Bentley Continental Flying Spur: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

The all-wheel-drive 2008 Bentley Continental Flying Spur continues with few changes as the British manufacturer's "entry-level" sedan. It shares its basic design with the company's Continental GT coupe and GTC convertible, all built on a platform introduced for 2004. The Flying Spur comes with a turbocharged 552-hp 6.0-liter 12-cylinder engine, 6-speed automatic transmission with steering-column-mounted shift paddles, and all-wheel drive. Also included is an air suspension with driver adjustable ride height and damper settings. Available safety features include ABS, an antiskid system, front side airbags, rear side airbags, and curtain side airbags. Bi-xenon headlights are standard, as are a navigation system, wireless cell-phone link, heated front seats with memory, driver-seat lumbar message, heated rear seat, and four-zone climate controls. Optional are heated steering wheel, front passenger lumbar massage, power opening and closing trunklid, and satellite radio. Also available is the Mulliner Driving Specification package that includes 20-inch wheels, additional Chrome interior trim, and quilted leather seating.
