The 2008 Flying Spur is basically a four-door
version of the company’s popular Continental
GT coupe, making it ideal for those who crave
a Bentley car rental with a little more leg
room and seats for the whole family. The fastest
four-door sedan currently on the market, the
Flying Spur can reach speeds of up to 195
mph and accelerates from zero to 60mph in
4.8 seconds despite its size.
Underneath
the hood lies a win-turbo W12 engine that
pumps out 552 horsepower and 479 pound-feet
torque. A convenient six-speed automatic transmission,
combined with all-wheel drive, make the vehicle
easy to handle and a joy to drive however,
steering-wheel paddle shifters are present
should the need arise.
Four-zone
automatic climate control, heated rear seats
with lumbar massage and 16-power rear seats
with heating, cooling and lumbar massage are
all standard. For entertainment, enjoy a 12-speaker
sound system, satellite radio, a DVD navigation
system and Bluetooth phone connectivity. Should
you find yourself in an accident, take comfort
in front and rear side and side curtain airbags,
ABS, traction control, stability control and
a passenger-sensing system in the rear seats
that will automatically raise the headrests
to prevent whiplash.
A
truly exotic car rental stands out against
the rest, providing both a trustworthy and
smooth ride as well as an overall luxurious
appearance. Though large, the Flying Spur
is surprisingly sleek and carries enough interior
amenities to make up for the stereotypically
large look of sedans. Drivers can choose from
11 different leather upholsteries and seven
wood veneers while enjoying optional luxuries
like flip-down wooden picnic tables for rear
passengers, a heated steering wheel and power-adjustable
rear seats with a full rear center console.
Ultimate
luxuries include diamond-quilted leather,
twin 7-inch LCD screens for rear passengers
and lambs wool carpeting - making the
car a target for animal activists but incredibly
popular with those who crave the ultimate
in a luxury sedan.
