Following the updates offered for the Continental GT and the Continental GTC models, Bentley will also offer the same upgrade treatment for its Flying Spur model. Just like with the other models, the Flying Spur will receive both exterior and interior changes. However, the question of the day is whether or not the company’s new V8 engine will also be made available for this version.
Just like with the other two Continental models, the Flying Spur will receive a tricked out exterior with a more aggressive front fascia, a vented hood, and new headlights. For the rear, the luxury full size vehicle will get a new trunk-mounted spoiler, slimmer taillights, and a revised exhaust system. The interior will add even more luxury thanks to the addition of better quality materials and improved technologies.
Under the hood, the Continental Flying Spur will get the tried and true 6.0-liter, twin-turbocharged W12 engine rated at 575 HP and 516 lb/ft of torque. The engine will be mated to a new QuickShift transmission.
Expect to see the new Flying Spur launched by the end of 2012.
