The Bentley Continental Flying Spur – One of the Worlds Fastest Luxury Sedans Part 1 of 2

By CJ Carter

“We fly high, no lie. You know this.” – Jim Jones. When it comes to luxury sedans, few cars fly higher then the Bentley Continental Flying Spur. Many have described the Flying Spur as a more practical four door version of the well known Bentley GT. The Flying Spur has the same body panels as the more noted coupe forward of the windshield, but beyond that the car takes after the design of the 1957 Continental Flying Spur.

The Flying Spur is marketed below the Arnage. Even though the Flying Spur is a full size sedan, the modern looks as well as the lower price tag are meant to appeal to a younger audience then the Arnage. The differences between the Arnage and the Flying Spur are more then obvious. There are more subtle differences between the Flying Spur and the Continental GT then meets the eye. The Flying Spur is 20 inches longer than the Bentley GT. The longer body of the Flying Spur gives it improved aerodynamics. With that said the Bentley Flying Spur has better stability then the GT at higher speeds.

One of the many specifications that you can add to a Bentley Flying Spur is the Mulliner Driving Specification Package. The Mulliner Package is a bespoke item that allows you to customize the trim of your vehicle. Included in the package are 20″ alloy wheels seated in performance tires. The pedals are alloy. There is leather and chrome shifter as well as leather upholstery and a suede roof lining.

When not developing my skill in that recreation I spend my time in retail of clothes, accessories, and self help products.

A Brief History of the Bentley

By William Jason

The first ever Bentley was created in 1959. Famous coachbuilders gathered and organized a brand new look for the car. These coachbuilders were James Young, H. J. Mulliner, Hooper and Park Ward. Thus, the name Bentley S2 Mulliner Park Ward S2 Cabriolet was formed. Controversies arose as the vehicle became famous due to the fact that it had nearly the same appearance as the Rolls Royce Silver Cloud I and Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II. Despite the controversies, the company successfully defended their vehicle design and continued to manufacture it.

The build of this car was exceptional back in its time. It was considered as one of the finest luxury cars in the early 60s because of its appearance. Before, cars were shaped like boxes and had the traditional four-corner look, the bulky bumpers and were really quite square. This is why the new design of the Bentley S2 really got car fanatics so excited. This lavish car had rounded headlights, a shiny silver bumper, an attractive emblem placed in the middle of the hood and a convertible ceiling. It had an ample amount of space for four passengers and a pretty leather interior for comfort and style. When wealthy people were attending big events such as parties and conventions, these cars really stood out. This is why these cars became a symbol of affluence and power.

As for the car’s internal section, the engine used to run this exquisite car was the V8 engine. This engine was said to improve the overall performance of Bentley motors. It was paired with servo-assisted drum brakes for full stopping control. Semi-elliptic springs and coil springs were also used for gearing up the car’s front and rear suspension.

These are just some of the fun facts you should know about the classic Bentley S2. As you can see this car is truly deserving of its classic moniker. Today when people think of a Bentley, they think of both class and lavish style. This of course was what the original designers had hoped and dreamed of way back in 1959.
