2013 Bentley Continental Flying Spur
Bentley recently gave its Continental Flying Spur a modest exterior refresh, with changes to the front and rear of this large ultra-luxury sedan. The automaker also extended the 600-horsepower 'Speed' treatment to the four-door car, after first debuting the high-performance edition for the GT coupe.
The Flying Spur was introduced for the 2006 model year. A direct result of Bentley's then-new owners, the Volkswagen Auto Group, the sedan shares its basic underpinnings and some mechanical bits with VW's late Phaeton. As one would expect of a Bentley, it boasts a capacious interior trimmed in the some of the softest leather and highest quality wood imaginable.

The latest Flying Spur features a more upright grille and bolder lower air intake, while the revised rear bumper delivers a more aggressive and sleek appearance.
Bentley also decided to update the Flying Spur's electronic stability program and offer optional carbon ceramic brakes should owners try and test that 195 mph top speed. An optional three-spoke steering wheel along with improved Bluetooth capability round out the changes.
