Bentley calls the Flying Spur line the Pinnacle of Luxury but you won't find this in Bentley showrooms. You probably won't find it at your local big box hardware store either. Maybe at the boutique hardware store in Beverly Hills. What am I talking about? This is a 2005 Bentley Continental Flying Spur W12 pickup...I know, it was hard for me to type that out. Here's the ad:

Today we can offer you the first photos of the facelifted Bentley Continental GT and GTC. We spied both the coupe and convertible during cold weather testing and noticed some changes. The headlights are getting a new design as well as the rear lights. The grille and front bumper are also getting their share of new design.
The same goes for the rear bumper and the exhaust pipes, a new look there as well. Expect a debut in 2024.

words: Bill, video: carwow
It's not often you see full size sedans, well at least full size luxury super sedans, go up against each other in a drag race. Mat does just that in this latest video from carwow. The Flying Spur with the huge 635hp W12 lines up against its platform mate, the S8 with the 571 twin-turbo V8. Doesn't sound like a fair fight but the Bentley weighs in at 5,373lbs versus 4,916 for the S8; a difference of 457 pou...
