The Continental GT Convertible
Bentley Motors’ new luxury 2+2 convertible, will be officially unveiled at the New York International Automobile Show in April 2006. On display now, it completes the Bentley Continental model range, following the introduction of the highly successful Continental GT in 2003 and four-door Continental Flying Spur in 2005.

A top speed of 195mph (312km/h)
With a sophisticated all-wheel drive system, state-of-the-art 12-cylinder engine, advanced air suspension and ultra-stiff body structure, the Continental GTC displays all the poise, exhilarating performance and dynamic handling of the Continental GT.

• Ultra-stiff body structure benefits vehicle refinement and dynamic performance.

• Unique seven-bow, three-layer, soft fabric roof with heated glass rear screen operates electro-hydraulically and provides peerless acoustic damping and exceptional refinement during use.

• Outstanding performance thanks to a top speed (roof up) of 195mph (312km/h) and a 0-60mph time of 4.8 seconds (0-100km/h in 5.1 seconds).

• With the roof down the top speed is still a remarkable 190mph (306km/h)

• Powered by the awesome Crewe-built, W12 twin-turbocharged 6-litre engine, tuned to provide not just a massive 552bhp (560PS/411kW) but 479lb ft (650Nm) at just 1600rev/min to deliver that legendary Bentley wave of torque from low revs.

Continental Flying Spur
The poise of all-wheel drive. The performance of a 552 hp turbocharged 6-liter 12-cylinder engine. The passion of a British handcrafted interior in leather and wood. All in an exceptionally spacious,seductively beautiful four-door from Bentley. It could only be the new Continental Flying Spur.

Introduction
The new Continental Flying Spur is the fastest four-door in the company's history, and the fastest in the world, with a top speed of 195mph. It marries the excitement, power, refinement and craftsmanship of the Continental GT with enhanced luxury and space to provide a supreme combination of performance, style and comfort.

The Continental Flying Spur was created at the state-of-the-art Crewe factory, where a 550-strong team of engineers has worked alongside Bentley's renowned designers, craftsmen and craftswomen. Access to parent company Volkswagen's worldwide engineering test facilities has also been of prime importance to the development of the car and the Continental Flying Spur has benefited from the use of the group's advanced windtunnels, proving grounds and prototyping facilities.

"The Continental Flying Spur is a brilliant example of how to match world-beating technologies with renowned craftsmanship," says Bentley chairman Dr Franz-Josef Paefgen. "It is a performance car but not at the cost of comfort and as such represents a unique proposition - a sumptuous and spacious four-door Grand Tourer with the heart and soul of a high-performance coupé."

Bentley Continental Flying Spur - Overview

• An all-new four-door Grand Tourer born of the Continental GT coupé that blends peerless Bentley craftsmanship and design with modern technologies.
• Inspired by the 1952 Bentley R-Type Continental and 1957 four-door Continental Flying Spur, from which the new model takes its name. Exhilarating supercar performance thanks to a top speed of 195mph (312km/h) and a 0-60mph time of 4.9 seconds (0-100km/h in 5.2 seconds).
• Powered by a 6-litre, twin-turbocharged, 12-cylinder engine engineered and built at Bentley's factory in Crewe. Tuned to provide not just a massive 552bhp but also the legendary Bentley wave of torque from low revs.
• A high-tech, all-wheel-drive system for exceptional stability and grip in any conditions is driven by an advanced six-speed automatic gearbox with paddleshift controls.
• The Continental Flying Spur shares the massive braking system introduced on the Continental GT coupé. The 405mm ventilated front brake discs are the largest on any production passenger car on sale today.
• A stunning cabin that uses exquisite Bentley design and craftsmanship to create a spacious, welcoming interior. A classic mix of leather hides and wood veneers are combined to give a contemporary but timeless appearance.
• Over 11 leather hides are used to make a complete set of upholstery in the Continental Flying Spur. These are traditionally imported from northern Europe, where the relatively insect-free environment benefits leather quality.
• Spacious rear legroom provides total comfort for all passengers with a five or four-seat layout optional at the time of purchase.
• All expected technology and feature content in the Continental Flying Spur comes as standard, meaning customers only have to choose options in order to personalize their car, rather than complete it.
• Designed and developed in parallel with the Continental GT coupé at Bentley's design studios and engineering facilities in Crewe to ensure ultimate synergy in their visual appearance and in their on-going engineering and development programs.

Bentley Continental Flying Spur - Conclusion

The introduction of the Continental Flying Spur marks the next step in the revival of Britain's most revered automotive marque. Following on from the hugely successful launch of its sister car, the Continental GT coupé, this stunning new car will change people's perceptions of what performance, comfort and style from a four-door grand tourer means.

And the unveiling of the Continental Flying Spur is not the end of the story. Bentley remains committed to a thrilling future model programme, one that will reflect the core values of the company, ensuring its public perception is not diluted by over-production or unnecessary niche products.

"The purity of our brand is in clear focus now," says Adrian Hallmark, member of the board, marketing. "We can behave as an independent company because the economics of our business plan are sound and we don't have to compromise our products because of short-term financial decisions. We are that rare thing in the British automotive world - a car company that is expanding and we have done so by producing models that appeal to a demanding and growing customer group.

"Our aim is to restore Bentley to the position it once owned - the creator of definitive British Grand Tourers - and the Continental Flying Spur is our next step in the fulfillment of that ambition."
