The Bentley Continental Flying Spur is a four-door version of the Bentley Continental GT produced from 2005. The new Flying Spur is being billed by Bentley as its fastest four-door model ever, and a capable grand tourer, though motoring journalists in the UK have taken exception to its bland, unadventurous styling and German underpinnings.

It is equipped with a 6 L, twin-turbocharged 12-cylinder engine producing 552 hp, with a top speed of 195 mph or 313 km/h. Four-wheel drive is standard. As with the Continental GT, the Flying Spur is built on the same platform as the Volkswagen Phaeton, up until 2005 in Crewe and since then in the Transparent Factory in Dresden (Germany).

It was designed by the same team that produced the Continental GT. Sales for the new model commenced in spring 2005.
