Bentley Continental Flying Spur/Speed: Pictures from British Motor Show

Here are the first pictures of the Bentley Continental Flying Spur and Bentley Continental Flying Speed from the British Motor Show in London.

Tweaks to the four-door's form include a more upright grille, chromed headlamp bezels, bolder lower air intake and new rear bumper with black valance and bright taillamp bezels, revised suspension springs, anti-roll bars and dampers, revised Servotronic power steering, a retuned exhaust system, plus additional acoustic glazing, tri-laminate body undertrays and wheel-arch liners to further reduce noise intrusion into the cabin. The stability control now has a selectable 'sport traction' mode for later intervention and carbon-ceramic brake discs are optional with 20" wheels.

New features available include radar-based active cruise control, a 1,100-watt, 15-speaker Naim digital sound system and new 19" Pirelli UHP tyres. There are also three new paint colours and four two-tone paint combinations to choose from, new wood and chrome trim options, and piping for the leather seat upholstery, now available in two new colours. Other new options include a full-width rear seat with fixed central seat and multi-adjustable outer seats, an iPod/MP3/USB interface and park distance control with new screen graphics.
