In the world of hand-crafted, high-performance ultra-luxury automobiles, there are Bentley's and then there is everyone else. And in the world of 200mph sedans, there is but one — the 2009 Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed.
The Continental Flying Spur has been an extraordinary success story for Bentley since its launch in 2005. Its unrivalled combination of supercar performance, luxury, craftsmanship, style and four-door practicality has made the Flying Spur the most successful 12-cylinder luxury saloon in the world, and has played a pivotal role in the revitalization of Bentley.
For 2009, Bentley is delivering even greater levels of refinement, comfort and opportunities for customer personalization with the improved Flying Spur range. The class-leading
12-cylinder luxury saloon will also be joined by the 600-hp Continental Flying Spur Speed, the most powerful 4-door car ever produced by the British manufacturer.
Bentley's commitment to the highest quality of craftsmanship and customer personalization is on full display at the company's factory in Crewe, England, the birthplace of all Bentley's since 1946. The wood and leather shops combine with Mulliner — the company's in-house coach-building arm — to turn out bespoke, hand-built automobiles in a fashion unheard of in today's hyper-efficient, cookie-cutter manufacturing operations.
Driving a Bentley is a rare experience indeed. The opportunity to own one of the first Flying Spur Speed models, and be hosted at the company's headquarters, is rarer still.
Be the first to experience both and you'll understand the secret of Bentley's success.

This isn't a factory visit. It's the Bentley Experience.
Welcome to Crew England, home of Bentley Motors, proud guardians of the Flying "B". You're immediately struck, first of all, by the quiet. Then the scent of freshly-cut leather mingling with hardwoods freshly sawn. So imperceptibly slow is its forward momentum you have to be told that this is the assembly line. As shapes emerge like sculptures partly formed, you make out the gracious lines of the next Bentley to be born here.
There is history, too. The historic 3-litre 'Exp.No. 2, the second Bentley built; the magnificent 4 — litre 'Blower' that raced at Le Mans in 1930; the iconic R Type Continental and S1 Continental Flying Spur, the Le Mans Trophies past and present.
As our newest Bentley owner, we fly, chauffeur, and accommodate you, in every regard, with the classic Bentley hospitality.
