📖Bentley Continental Flying Spur: the Bentley saloon that entered the modern age, worth buying today only if its `W12`, suspension and driveline still feel impeccable

Bentley Continental Flying Spur (2005-2013)

The first `Continental Flying Spur` turns everything the `Continental GT` brought to Bentley into a large four-door saloon: `W12 biturbo` power, all-wheel drive, a far more modern platform and day-to-day usability well beyond what the old Crewe cars could offer. It is a key car in Bentley's recent history because it opened the brand to a different audience without giving up the very demonstrative luxury expected from a big British saloon.

On the road, it feels closer to a very opulent Porsche Panamera than to a pure limousine. The `W12 biturbo` delivers hugely impressive continuous thrust, but the car really depends on the balance between all-wheel drive, air suspension and the `ZF` automatic gearbox. If one of those pillars weakens, the Flying Spur quickly loses the effortless feel that justifies it and turns back into a very large saloon that is expensive to sort properly.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • The `W12 biturbo` delivers remarkable thrust and flexibility when cooling and ignition have been maintained properly.
  • All-wheel drive gives this large saloon genuine all-weather ease.
  • The shared Continental GT technical base makes the Flying Spur more modern and more disciplined than the older big Crewe Bentleys.
  • A well-kept example still combines silence, effortless cruising speed and strong mechanical presence in a very rare way.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • `W12 biturbo` in the Continental Flying Spur: watch cooling, coils, boost hoses and oil consumption.
  • Continental Flying Spur air suspension: check the compressor, air springs and ride height after parking.
  • Continental Flying Spur all-wheel drive: inspect the prop shaft, CV boots and even tyre wear across all four corners.
  • Continental Flying Spur comfort electronics: test the seats, soft-close functions, climate control and the full electrical network.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • Do not delay `ZF` gearbox servicing or wait for real jolts on a saloon this heavy.
  • Treat any weakness in the air suspension, compressor or ride-height sensors quickly.
  • On the `W12`, keep a close watch on cooling, hoses and ignition before overheating or misfires make costs escalate.
  • Refresh brakes, tyres and running gear before global wear starts to spoil comfort and high-speed stability.
