Flying Spur Adds Two Doors to Continental

The long-awaited four-door version of the Bentley Continental GT is closer to reality. VW's British brand released official photos on Tuesday showing the new sedan model, to be called the Continental Flying Spur. Like the Conti, the Spur will be outfitted with a 6.0-liter, twin-turbo V-12 with 552 horsepower and an all-wheel-drive system. The drivetrain enables the four-door to blast from 0 to 60 mph in about 5 seconds on its way to a top-end limit of 190 mph. On sale in the spring, the Flying Spur promises a spacious, Bentley-riffic interior with wood trim and Ted Nugent be praised, the hides of 11 animals. A five-seat cabin or a four-seat version with rear buckets can be specified. No pricing information has been released; the production vehicle is expected to be shown at the Geneva motor show in March.
