Power with Poise

The Continental Flying Spur Speed is the most powerful saloon Bentley have ever created.

Beneath its bonnet sits one of the world’s most advanced – and unique – 12-cylinder engines: a 552bhp (560PS) 6-litre, twinturbo charged powertrain that can propel the car from standstill to 60mph in less than five seconds. Thanks to that immense power output, it can also drive it onwards to a top speed of 194mph (312km/h).

The Continental Flying Spur’s engine is a technological masterpiece. It is the most compact 12-cylinder engine in the world and uses four camshafts and 48 valves to help generate the indescribable wave of torque for which Bentleys are renowned. From as low as 1600rpm, the W12 engine produces 650Nm (479lb ft) of torque – a phenomenal figure that ensures that whatever situation you find yourself in, vast reserves of power and acceleration are available whenever you need them.
