Used 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur for sale in Alpharetta, Georgia
Think 200 mph in a road car, and you'll invariably think of some shrieking, low-slung Italian exotic, all noise and carbon fiber all edge and sweaty palms. Yet here we are in a 5450-lb luxury limousine with leather on the roof lining, burled walnut on the dash, and Mozart on the CD player. At close to 200 mph. This is what the Continental Flying Spur is all about.
But it's not just the sheer speed that's impressive: it's how coolly the big Bentley manages it. With the W12 engine, the loudest noise you hear above 150 mph is a distant wind roar, like you hear in a Boeing cruising at 36,000 feet. The stability is unbelievable most cars start to feel flighty and nervous, dancing on the balls of their feet above 170 mph, but the Flying Spur feels nailed to the road and tracks with the certainty of a bullet train, even through 180-mph sweepers.
