    Geneva Motor Show: Someone Leaks The 2014 Bentley Continental Flying Spur

    By William Maley

    February 19, 2013

    Say hello to the to the redesigned Bentley Continental Flying Spur. Pictures of the redesigned model surfaced today on the web, well ahead of its debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show.

    The exterior design of the Continental Flying Spur borrows heavily from the Continental GT and GTC. The biggest change deals with the rear end as Bentley redesigned it to bring it more in line with the larger Mulsanne sedan.

    The Flying Spur's interior has been updated to keep it in line with the Continental GT and GTC, and features a new dash layout, steering wheel, and instrument panel.

    Power will come from 6.0L W12 engine which currently makes 552 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. Also coming will be a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine.

    We'll have more info on the Flying Spur when it makes its official introduction at the Geneva Motor Show next month.

    The exterior is a bit too understated and bland for something with a fantasy land price tag like this.

    True luxuy is understated and subtle, not tasteless Kardashian bling.

    Yet so many would hit that ass! :P

    Nice Luxury Sedan, I am sure there are NO $1.80 Door Handles on this baby.

    I bet some of the switchgear is shared w/ Audi and VW, though....some of dirty bits definitely are...

    Very true, there are always so many dirty bits shared across family plateforms. Nothing wrong as long as it stays strong and is quality built. Yet on a 100K Luxury Sedan, I want a solid feel in my hands when I pull the handle, not some flimsy Eco Box handle.

    Something odd in the proportion... seems low-cowled, thick-pillared, wide. Something offputting in it. Interior is truly professional though.

    I am sure any of us would love to live in that interior, but the exterior is unsettling. Not a fan, looks dated and old. Then most who can afford these are with old money.

    Bentley has some truly bland, pedestrian vehicles. For being a badge-engineered Rolls for so many decades in the past, Rolls today is light-years ahead in presence. And yes; I see Bentleys often enough on the road to have a solid in-person opinion.

    It just has no distinction, almost like a 'generic big car' illustrated to avoid depicting an actual brand.

    To me a K-Car of the family.

      I forgot this one from a visit to the State of New York.  This one was seen at Bear Mountain State Park. It looks like a Saturn Skye.  In my opinion, Saturn had the best looking minivan (Relay), the best looking compact (Aura), and the best looking two-seater (this) at the very end of those vehicle category runs for GM. Even if they shared mechanical underpinnings, these cars just looked a little bit cleaner than those of the others.

      Awesome specimen.    Sadly though, it is no longer available for sale.  Did the seller find a buyer?  At $48 000, it is relatively cheap to buy.  Does that mean muscle cars are going down in price?  Maybe its not a "numbers matching" 455.  Perhaps an aftermarket "upgrade".  It does have an Edelbrock stamp on the block which explains the "low" price of 48 thousand.   Either way, Id buy it.  Well...not now.  Owning a "vintage" muscle car would be #2 of my dreams and wishes.   Im on my way of realizing my #1  of dreams and wishes.  Owning a home (condo) on a Greek island.  My financials are almost there for that.  If #1 is not fullfilled, then #2 would happen.  But #1 looks to be right on track.  Only thing I will whine about is: Although I LOOOOVE Cragar SS wheels,  ESPECIALLY on muscle cars, I somehow disapprove of them on a 442.  The rich that support him are making even MORE money with him there so no...they will NOT listen. They do not care.  The others are racist bastards that as long as the ones they hate are in worse shape than they are, then they will allow trump to destroy the country.  It WILL take the rest of you to fight for your country.    To remove him FORCIBLY  and all those other cancerous shyteholes that have infected your country.

      Idiot47 is nothing more than a mole controlled by Russia. Do not forget the pictures and video that was released by Russia of him and prostitutes in Russia as he was there with his wife to try and get Idiot Hotels. He is nothing more than a stool pigeon for Russia destroying America and any other system as they try to push their dictator control of the world. WE THE PEOPLE need to take back America, Impeach Idiot47 and his whole administration. Bring back Democracy, working in unison with the world, not an attempt to attack the world and the continued pardoning of criminals. The whole administration needs to be arrested and turned over to the Hague to stand trial for Crimes against Humanity.
