The Continental Flying Spur, which followed closely in 2005, was the next step, offering customers similar levels of performance from its 6.0-litre W12 engine and all-wheel drive but within a spacious, four-door body rather than two-door coup\u00e9. It was an immediate success, with 4,500 delivered in the first full year of production.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Concurrent Design<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Though Bentley had taken the decision to launch the Continental GT coup\u00e9 first as the halo model for the new range, the Continental Flying Spur was designed concurrently by the same team, led by Head of Exterior Design Raul Pires under Design Director Dirk van Braeckel. From the front of the new four-door the Continental family resemblance is clear, with a short front overhang, dominant bonnet and distinctive Bentley matrix grille. However, the profile shows a sleek and uninterrupted waistline from front fender through to rear wheel arch, instead of the pronounced rear \u2018haunch\u2019 of the GT. To make space for a spacious rear compartment the wheelbase of the new four-door was 320 mm longer, giving an overall length of 5290 mm. The name revived that of a classic Bentley design, the Mulliner-built 1958 four-door S1 Continental Flying Spur.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>W12 Power And All-wheel Drive<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Like the Continental GT coup\u00e9, the Continental Flying Spur featured a 6.0-litre twin-turbo 48-valve W12 engine developing 550 bhp and 650 Nm and powering all four wheels via a ZF six-speed automatic transmission. Careful attention to aerodynamics and the longer four-door body gave the new Continental Flying Spur an even better drag coefficient than its coup\u00e9 stablemate \u2013 0.31Cd compared with 0.32Cd \u2013 and the new four-door was unofficially found to exceed 200 mph in testing, though the company claimed a conservative 195 mph.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The Bentley Heritage Collection Continental Flying Spur<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Chassis VIN 20001 was the first production Continental Flying Spur off the Crewe production lines, a right-hand drive model in Cypress Green. Saddle is the main hide colour for the interior with Cognac as a secondary hide, and the veneer is Burr Ealnut. It features the optional Mulliner full-length centre console creating two individual rear seats. It was built in May 2005 and has been in company ownership from day one.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Specs &amp; Details<\/h3>\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" align=\"center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Date Produced<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>2005-2013; this model 2005<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Body<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Four-door, four-seat saloon, 2,440 kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Engine<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>W12 twin-turbocharged, 5,998 cc<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Power<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>550 bhp @ 6,000 rpm, 650 Nm @ 1,500 rpm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Transmission<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Permanent four-wheel drive with Torsen central differential, ESP and ZF six-speed automatic transmission<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Chassis<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Steel monocoque, stainless steel front subframe.
