Speedy Bentleys for British Show

Two new Bentleys will debut at the British Motor Show later this month.

A revised Continental Flying Spur and its Continental Flying Spur Speed sister will be shown for the first time.

A series of improvements have enhanced the Flying Spur with subtle changes to the front and rear bumpers and a more prominent grille marking the changes visually.

It's the Flying Spur's faster, more focussed, Speed relation that's likely to appeal to Bentley fans attending the show.

The Speed features a W12 engine with its output boosted from the standard car's 552bhp to 600bhp.

That's enough to allow the luxuriously appointed four-door saloon to reach 62mph in just 4.5 seconds and a 200mph maximum speed.

Distinguishing it from its relatives are a number of styling changes, these including a dark tinted radiator and air intake grilles, as well as a wider exhaust and 20-inch alloy wheels.

Bentley will also be using the British Motor Show to demonstrate its partnership with British hi-fi manufacturer, Naim.

The Naim audio system, offered as an option, features an amplifier with a colossal 1,100 Watt amplifier, the most powerful available in a production car.
