Default Bentley Continental Flying Spur.

Bentley is coming with this "new" car, it's really a 4-door version of the Continental GT. It will have the same engine, a 6.0L 12cyl. with 2 turbos coughing up 552bhp. Top speed of 305km/h and 0-100km/h is 5 seconds.

The Phantom is very ugly, it's a fucking box and it's way too high, and I don't think it's got any character

I think it's stunning. You buy a car like that to stand out a mile, and you certinally do in that.

I just wish the taillights weren't just a solid red block. Or the third-brake lamp isn't as ugly as in the Continental GT.

How can you even compare this with a Phantom? It's going to cost a little more than a Merc S600. And if you think Flying Spur is a weird name for a Bentley, you should read a bit about their history.

Anyway, Bentley's going too cheap. One entry model was fine, two is a crowd. I hope I won't see too many of these.

You'll see lots. I saw three Continental GT's parked on the same block. They're everywhere.

I like this thing though. I dunno, it still feels good to say "look, a Bentley."
