This 2012 Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed was ordered in Dark Sapphire Metallic with Dark Bourbon leather upholstery, and it is powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter W12 driving all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transaxle. Additional equipment includes bi-xenon headlights with washers, rain-sensing windshield wipers, 20″ wheels, rear picnic tables, power-adjustable front and rear seats with position memory, heated front seats, a rear-view camera, and an 8″ touchscreen infotainment system.
The Flying Spur sedan was introduced for the 2006 model year and featured a wheelbase 12.6” longer than that of the contemporary Continental GT coupe on which it was based. This example is finished in Dark Sapphire Metallic, and exterior details include a chrome grille, a powered sunroof, bi-xenon headlights with washers, rain-sensing windshield wipers, front and rear parking sensors, and a rear-view camera as well as heated and power-folding side mirrors with position memory.
The seller states that the 20″ wheels were recently replaced, and the 275/35 Pirelli P Zero tires show 2019 date codes. The Speed variant featured lower ride height, larger anti-roll bars, a solid-mounted front subframe, and stiffer dampers, springs, and rear bushings when compared to the standard Flying Spur. Stopping power is provided by vented four-wheel disc brakes with Bentley-branded calipers, and an alignment was performed in March 2021.
The cabin features Dark Bourbon leather seat upholstery with perforated and diamond-stitched inserts as well as embroidered headrest logos. Wood veneers accent the steering wheel, dashboard, center console, door panels, and rear picnic tables. Amenities include power-adjustable front and rear seats with position memory, heated front seats, multi-zone automatic climate control, drilled alloy pedals, a power-closing trunk lid, and an 8″ touchscreen infotainment system connected to a 12-speaker audio system with Sirius XM radio and Bluetooth connectivity.
Instrumentation includes a 210-mph speedometer, a tachometer, gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level, and a digital display with an odometer indicating 9k miles. A Breitling analog clock is mounted in the center stack.
The twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter W12 was factory rated at 600 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 553 lb-ft of torque at 1,700 rpm. Service in 2021 included an oil change and replacement of the battery according to the seller.
Power is sent to all four wheels through a six-speed ZF transaxle that offers automatic and manual modes using the shift lever or steering column-mounted paddles. The factory stainless-steel dual exhaust system features rifled oval outlets.
