2011 Bentley Continental Flying Spur

When it comes to large luxury sedans, after leaving the field $ 100k to the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class flagship, it has surprisingly few options for the buyer looking for a four-door practicality, driving excitement and over-top luxury. Only recently we have seen newcomers like the Porsche Panamera and the Rolls-Royce Ghost enter this segment, however, Bentley Continental Flying Spur, which is in force since 2006, is certainly worth a look.



The 2011 model is relatively unchanged from that specified in the previous year that Bentley was to save his changes in a facelifted version introduced for model year 2012. Prices start at $ 181 200, which is quite reasonable when you consider that the Continental Flying Spur is essentially a four-door version of the Continental GT, which sells for U.S. $ 205 600 significantly higher.

The important thing is, you get the same twin-turbo 6.0-liter W-12 engine found in two doors, and all of 552 horsepower and 479 pound-feet with it. To all that power will be enough land six-speed automatic and a sophisticated four-wheel drive.

Transmission should be a big heavy sedan rocket 0-60 mph in 5.0 seconds and see it reach a top speed of 194 mph. If this is not enough, high-performance variant, known as the Continental Flying Spur Speed ​​is available and comes with no less than 600 horsepower and 554 pound-feet of torque. The results of the performance of this model is nothing short of amazing, with 00-60 mph sprint taking just 4.5 seconds and top speed is maxing 200 mph - the performance of some of the supercar would be jealous.



At the end of the day, it's even a Bentley, we are talking about from the inside was obviously always going to be spoiled and very opulent. The cabin is almost identical to the Continental GT with dual cockpit theme dressed in walnut veneer or chestnut. Everything is precisely hand-cut and matched to create a mirror symmetry of the grain of the image.

Sitting front and center of the dashboard is a Breitling watch, flanked by a hand-stitched leather steering wheel, stainless steel pedals and footrest, and chrome really called ventilation. The Continental Flying Spur is also available with an adaptive cruise control and Naim audio system with amplifier 1100 watts of high-end - one of the most powerful units available in a production car.



A comprehensive review of the characteristics of style, performance, comfort and quality, and safety 2011 Bentley Continental Flying Spur, check the broader report TheCarConnection.

2011 Bentley Continental GTC

Bentley Continental GT has been the darling of the nouveau riche, coupes and convertibles with great British to find a home in the entries of NBA players and rap stars throughout the country. While the Continental GT is a beautiful two-door with a lot of performance and luxury, so it is easy to see why the car is so desirable between the old money types, and the new chance.



For 2011, the Continental GT model has received a facelift, but you have to look twice to notice. Note that only the Continental GT, the update. 2011 Bentley Continental GTC and Super Sport models remains unchanged for now.

While the style remains the same - why should that change a masterpiece - the power train has been revised drastically.

The 6.0-liter W-12 engine has been tuned for more power, the power of 567 and 516 lb-ft of torque, to be exact, and a gearbox that allows a lower gear double Quickshift installed. All wheels are standard, with a pair of bias increased to 40 percent and 60 percent of the back, sportier than the original Conti 50/50.



If you hold out, there are plans to add a new 4.0-liter V-8 option. This means that it is likely to see a car sticker could drop below the $ 200k mark.

However, the 6.0-liter W-12 engine is a marvel, and it is also fully flex-fuel (E85) capable. Thank you to the addition of two turbochargers, the mill will be powerful rocket the pounds 5,000-plus Bentley 0 to 60 km / h in just 4.4 seconds and to see a top speed of 198 mph.

The interior of the coupe was renewed, with more favorable seats, a redesigned console and a new touch interface all-inclusive. Craftsmanship and exclusivity are the key words in Bentley and the other in the Continental GT definitely fits that description.

For the 2011 Bentley Continental GTC convertible, meanwhile, sticks to the original design introduced in 2003. This does not mean it is outdated as the older design still feels fresh and, of course, breathes luxury.

For performance enthusiasts, the 2011 Bentley Continental Supersport definitely the winner. This is the production model of Bentley's fastest and most powerful ever, and it is capable of reaching 60 mph at rest in just 3.9 seconds and peaking at 202 mph. Its engine is rated 612 and 590 lb-ft, the latter from only 2,000 rpm.



If the Super Sports is too extreme, is also the speed performance of the models GT and GTC Speed ​​Tamer pack 600 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque version of W-12

2011 Bentley Continental Supersports

2011 Bentley Continental Supersports appears between two different worlds. Bentley traditional fashion, has all the luxury features, but differs from the pampered luxury, it also tries to fit on a car exotic high performance sports. Ultimately, it seems that too many compromises have been made at both ends of the spectrum.



The "standard" Continental GT is already a powerful player in its own right, reaching 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 199 km / h. The Supersports it surpasses in sharper handling, 00 to 60 km / h acceleration 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 204 mph. An impressive, yes, but one must wonder about the performance gains in the face of a $ 77,000 prize. Supersports and cost is not just money.

In order to save weight, removed Bentley from the back seat (their usefulness is debatable), and confirmed the development of the suspension to the point that it can be jarring for some people - even more performance-minded drivers. Manual seats can also be a disappointment to some, as it would be out of date infotainment interface. In addition, it is very likely that the next Continental Supersports accept many of the improvements the 2012 Continental GT.

The possibility of buying "last year," Bentley may be enough buyers to push in the direction of a true exotic sports car. Aston Martin DBS is similarly priced, and offers a balanced blend of luxury and performance. Ferrari 458 Italy is a bit 'cheaper and offers more flexibility, as well as the McLaren MP4-12C, and the Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS. And there are always advocate the line Porsche 911, with a wide range of services to suit different tastes.

Body styles, trim levels and options
2011 Bentley Continental Super Sport is a two-seater high-performance version of the Continental GT coupe, which offers one of the well-equipped trim level.

Standard features include 20-inch wheels, carbon-ceramic brakes, rear spoiler, bi-xenon headlights, fog lights, unique exterior design, automatic wipers, keyless entry power /, dual-zone automatic climate control, rear parcel shelf, four streets lightweight manual front seats (installed on the owner's preferred riding position), a faux suede upholstery and trim, sport steering wheel steering, carbon fiber trim, Bluetooth, navigation system and 10 speakers stereo with iPod connection and lifetime subscriptions satellite radio.



There are fewer options available lightweight, performance-oriented GT Supersports than normal. Again, the options are power trunk, rear view camera, a number of two-tone interior color options, 15 speaker premium audio system Naim and the ability to install the standard Continental GT seats.

Engines and performance
The 2011 Bentley Continental Supersport is powered by a 6.0-liter V12 that produces 621 horsepower and a massive 590 lb-ft of torque. At four wheels and a six-speed automatic transmission as standard. In performance tests Edmunds, the Supersports hit 60 mph in 3.8 seconds stop by on your way to a top speed of 204 mph, he said. No wonder that fuel economy is low, at an EPA-estimated 12 mpg highway and 14 mpg city/19 mpg combined.

Safety
Standard safety equipment includes Super Continental Sport anti-lock brakes with carbon-ceramic disc, stability control and traction and side curtain airbags. In Edmunds brake test came to a stop Supersports of 60 km / h in a very short 109 feet.

Interior Design and Special Features
While traditional Bentley feature rich leather stripes and veneer spotless, Supersports Continental opts for a sleek high-end treatment. Carbon fiber faux suede are used instead, comfortable front seats were taken for light racing buckets. Unfortunately, these seats do not have power settings that are not height adjustable. Bentley custom fit seat for the driver, but it could cause comfort problems for other drivers.

Questions seat at the side, inside the 'Supersport is also very well done as any Bentley. Each element of the interior looks as if it has cleverly created by a master craftsman, if the computer knurled chrome or a set of carbon fiber experts. The trunk is generous compared with the exotic GT lack of standards and tight rear seat will accommodate any overflow of the load. On the negative side, however, the interface is sadly outdated information and entertainment.

Driving Impressions
Tip the scales at about 5000 pounds, 2011 Bentley Continental Supersports is lightweight. Yet, our Supersports test is able to drive through a slalom 67.8 mph - the speed is comparable to the much lighter than the BMW M3 Convertible. This is an impressive achievement, no doubt, but the car HeFT has not gone unnoticed. Bentley used to a plush ride quality and can be a little surprise, like the Super "firmly Sports is much less luxurious - no matter what suspension setting you choose.

The body is made of a new facility in the headquarters of Bentley at Crewe, where the traditional metal skills, developed over six decades, is still prevalent in the process of construction of nine weeks. It is the opposite of mass production car built ... but the very essence of Bentley.

Mirrors, for example, completely wrapped in the body. This provides a smooth, flawless line to the rear of the car, a perfect complement to become the D-pillar - with the complex curves can be created by a qualified body shop. All welds are made by hand at the Bentley Mulsanne, and the construction of all panel joints are welded by hand. These will continue to improve this cup "massive and led to a very rigid.

The complex form of aluminum fenders, impossible to achieve with normal printing techniques, are created using superforming, a technology usually reserved for the aerospace industry. It also makes wings both lighter, stiffer and gives a superb surface definition. Other lightweight materials such as composite bootlid, which is used to remove the mass, if possible, without compromising quality.

New techniques for construction designers may also include details such as 'floating' LED tail lights elliptical, which identifies the echo of the shape of the exhaust gases.

To accentuate the beauty of the body, the Bentley Mulsanne features' brightware "exclusively in polished stainless steel, including the covers and the door of the womb. Bentley is the only manufacturer in the world to do so. Stainless steel doors are also responsible for the traditional Bentley feature knurled "surface of the board for better grip, reflecting a typical attention to detail.

Bentley Mulsanne sporty nature of the stress front fender vents and a large diameter exhaust finisher.
