2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur

When Bentley Motors released the Continental GT two-door coupe in 2003, as the brand’s first mass-production automobile, they followed up two years later with the four-door Continental Flying Spur saloon, for those who desired a larger and more spacious option. Now on its third generation, the model has since dropped the Continental tag, merely known as the Flying Spur. If you’re after one of those first-generation cars, this 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur is a fine option for your consideration. Coming from California with just 54,000 miles, it goes to show that mass production didn’t mean any compromise in the renowned British luxury and craftsmanship.

Exterior and Interior

Translating the two-door Continental GT’s looks into the longer four-door body was the work of Dirk van Braeckel, and he’s done a stunning job as witnessed with this 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur and its silver paint job. Silver is a timeless color that looks good on almost any car and is the best option for those who don’t want to stand out but go about their business unnoticed. The original Bentley alloy rims are present too, making this a fine example of a clean and unmodified car. The interior of any luxury car is arguably much more important than the exterior, and this 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur doesn’t disappoint one bit with its alloy, leather, and wood-trimmed interior. It’s got electrically adjustable front bucket seats with heating, ventilation, and massage functionality, as well as electrically adjustable individual rear seats. There’s four-zone climate control, a 12-speaker sound system, LCD screen infotainment system, the iconic Bentley ‘organ stop’ air vents, chunky alloy billet gear lever, multifunction steering, cruise control, heated mirrors, emergency braking assist, front and rear parking sensors, and a few other powered goodies.

Engine

This 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur packs a suitably large engine as befitting a top-tier luxury car, a 6.0L W12 twin-turbocharged engine that sends drive to all four wheels via a six-speed ZF Tiptronic automatic transmission. You get 552hp and 479lb-ft. The zero to sixty is 5.2 seconds, and the top speed is 194mph, very impressive figures for a 5,500lb vehicle.
