Vehicle Description
Classic Car Addict is excited to present this 1 owner 2006 Bentley
Continental Flying Spur for sale in our Mesa, AZ showroom. At the
turn of the century, Bentley came roaring back in a very big way,
and amazing, ultra-luxury cars like this Continental Flying Spur
Speed were the reason for the company's renewed success and
popularity. Born from the short-lived VW Phaeton, it's the ultimate
in both performance and luxury. Featuring an unreal 6.0L W12 Twin
Turbo motor, beautiful exterior, and a spacious interior that's so
luxurious all its passengers instantly turn into VIPs. When it
moves like a BMW M5 and has the coddling luxury of a Lear Jet,
well, things get mighty interesting. If there's a better color for
an ultra-luxury car like this, I don't know what it might be, and
the artisans who painted it were obviously at the top of their
game. Sure, it's almost 16 years old now, but the depth of the
finish, the precision of the bodywork, and the hand-rubbed gloss
just can't be faked by anyone else, so this car still looks
insanely expensive. Compared to when it left the factory, sure, an
expert can tell that it's been gently used and will find an
imperfection here or there, but with only 36,739 miles on the clock
(just 2,296 miles logged per year). Owner stated that he wrapped
the top half of the Bentley to protect it from the Arizona sun.
Stated that it was still in great shape before it was wrapped.
There's nobody who can do interiors like the British and the
stunning Porpoise (gray) leather is downright stunning, where it
takes at least 11 full hides of leather to trim each interior. Four
outboard seats coddle the passengers with their elegant
diamond-quilted hides that are continued on the doors, the wood is
real burled walnut, and there's nothing that you can touch that
doesn't feel insanely expensive. Black-faced gauges are simple and
elegant, and the controls are neatly arrayed on the center stack
and steering wheel. The entertainment system with an 8-inch screen
in the center stack controlling all the infotainment. Also features
CD/DVD player in glovebox. It would be ridiculous to list all the
options and amenities of this Bentley. Everything works, which
should be reassuring to anyone contemplating such a complex
vehicle, and if you're lucky enough to ride in back, you'll find
your own A/C controls, and a sinful amount of legroom. The trunk is
gorgeously finished. You'll delight in the way the flex-fuel
compliant 6.0-liter, twin-turbocharged W12 engine seemingly defies
the laws of physics. Nothing this big should be this fast, but with
all-wheel-drive and a quick-witted 6-speed ZF automatic
transmission with a floppy-paddle shift facility, this is a
heavyweight that can humiliate anything this side of a ZR1
Corvette. 600HP, 553 lb.-ft of torque, 0-60 in 4.6 seconds, a
6000RPM red-line war cry that catapults it into triple digits
speeds with ease, and insane stopping power from its massive
carbon-ceramic breaks. It hurtles ahead like a cannonball, the
power so smooth that you aren't aware of how fast you're going
until you're well into felony territory, and just then the W-12
finally starts to groan and practically taunts you to hit the
throttle a little harder. Bentley engineers also managed to endow
it with exemplary road manners and handling that's the equal of its
acceleration thanks to a top-of-the-line suspension and permanent
all-wheel drive. And thanks to VW engineering behind it, it turns
out that these are some of the most reliable supercars ever built.
20-inch multi-spoke wheels carry equally massive Pirelli
performance rubber that plant the power quite effectively. With
exemplary care throughout the years, this well-preserved one-owner
Flying Spur is available for a fraction of its original sticker
price. Call us today, 480-256-1459 Rear Trunk/Liftgate - Power
