The Bentley Continental Flying Spur is a brilliantly designed four-door car having the same platform as the Bentley Continental GT coupé. The Continental Flying Spur was announced in 2005. This car also shares its design platform with the beautiful Volkswagen Phaeton, while its powertrain components are similar to those on the models of Audi A8 and S8. It was skillfully designed by the same team which produced the coveted cars Continental GT and Continental GTC. The Continental Flying Spur was exclusively hand built by skilled technicians at Bentley's sole manufacturing plant located in Crewe, England
