The stunning craftsmanship of Bentley Motors is also visible on the façade of the engine when you open the bonnet: it looks majestic, carefully constructed and positioned for even the most regal of drivers.

The lair: the enchanting interior of the Flying Spur Speed
Entering the cosy cocoon of a Bentley tends to make drivers and passengers keen to stay inside. The Flying Spur Speed is a motoring lair of a lush leather interior, complete with sumptuous features. Are you the type of driver who believes that the interior of a car is an important aspect? If so, the Flying Spur Speed is perfect for you. To start with, it features one of Bentley’s hallmarks: wood. This material has been weaved into the Bentley tapestry for decades. The Crewe-based car company uses wood veneers to furnish the interior to finish in a sublime look of quality. This is what makes driving a Bentley so special: it is beautiful from the inside and out. Our Flying Spur Speed has a Burr Walnut wood veneer finish which is unbleached and the car’s interior a rich and intense look. When you are in the driver’s seat ready to start your car hire journey, you will also be wowed by the steering wheel which has handmade contrast stitching by Bentley seamstresses for an authentic vintage feel.
The Bentley Flying Spur Speed’s interior is one of fluidity and consistency. The iconic winged ‘B’ emblem has been painstakingly embroidered onto the headrests of the seats. If you think that is brilliant, drink in the sight of how the carpet and seat belts match the leather hide of the interior for a seamless look. Whether you are choosing this Bentley for the first time or you are a seasoned Bentley fan, the entertainment system of the supercar leaves no stone unturned. Connect your iPod or use the hi-fi system which is built with audio features from Naim, one of the giants of high specification audio equipment. Go the extra mile with this system and use the inbuilt telephone to call your friends and family to tell them about the start of your Bentley car hire adventure!
The interior of the Bentley illuminates the British marque’s dedication to meticulous execution and attention to detail. There are no half-baked ideas in the Flying Spur Speed. Each control of the interior has a purpose and a meaning for the driver and passengers whether that is the mounted steering column for the driver or the twin cupholders for the passengers.

Engine
The 6-litre, 12-cylinder engine powers the Continental Flying Spur from 0-60mph in only 4.9 seconds. Breathtaking, exhilarating - yet beautifully refined.
Unlike a conventional 12 cylinder engine with two banks of 6, the Continental’s 6-litre engine is configured in four banks of 3 cylinders in a W formation. The result is a shorter and much more compact unit which allows for significantly more interior space. But its size is deceptive. Twin turbochargers boost the power output to an astonishing 600bhp (449kW). Its status as the world’s most powerful four-door is confirmed by a top speed of 200mph (322km/h). Built to conquer continents with power in reserve.
Torque
The Continental Flying Spur exemplifies the characteristic torque curve that makes all Bentleys so thrilling to drive. Torque is the force that changes a steady state of motion, unlike power, which is the force that maintains it. When you accelerate it is the torque that you feel changing the rate of motion, not just the power. In a Bentley, torque is very much in the foreground of the driving experience. It is particularly appreciated at low revs, giving an impression of effortlessness, a sense that endless reserves of power remain. The Continental Flying Spur Speed develops maximum torque of 553 lb-ft (750Nm) at 1700 - 5600rpm, delivering an immediate sensation of limitless power as you move through the gears.
Space
The unique design of the W12 engine frees an exceptional amount of cabin space. The shorter engine configuration, together with a fuel tank under the floor of the car, gave the Continental Flying Spur Speed's design team the unprecedented luxury of space. The result is a capacious interior, beautifully appointed for the comfort of all occupants. The impressive boot space was designed with practicality in mind, easily accommodating golf clubs and luggage.
Craftmanship - The Cabin
The interior styling and design of the Continental Flying Spur Speed creates an ambience of understated elegance.
Traditional features like the bulls-eye air vents and the organ stop controls are exquisitely framed by brilliant wood veneers on the fascia, upper door trim, and the front and rear consoles. Premium grade leather hide is also employed for all soft surfaces, including the trim around the sporting gear selector and handstitched steering wheel. It takes over 11 hides to handcraft the luxurious upholstery and trim in a Continental Flying Spur Speed. Knurled brightware controls and a choice of premium wood veneers exemplify the craftsman’s touch.
