Bentley Continental Flying Spur Performance Overview
Bentley’s Continental Flying Spur occupied a short, high-output performance sedan window from 2006 to 2012, covered here by 10 verified tests across four model years. Throughout its single First Generation run, every recorded example used a twin-turbocharged gasoline powertrain, with output spanning 552 to 600 hp. Early testing established the baseline with the 2006 Sedan at 4.6 seconds to 60 mph, defining the model’s initial pace and placing most early cars in the mid-4-second range.
The key step came with the Speed Sedan. In 2009, that trim lowered the benchmark to 4.2 seconds to 60 mph and ran the quarter-mile in 12.8 seconds at 110 mph, the quickest elapsed time in the dataset. That same 4.2-second result remained the class peak in 2010 Speed Sedan testing, while the broader range stayed tight: the 2012 Series 51 Sedan recorded 4.8 seconds to 60 mph, and the overall average across the run was 4.51 seconds with a 13.09-second quarter-mile average.
As the final and current generation for this nameplate within the 2006–2012 span, the Continental Flying Spur stands as a consistently quick twin-turbo W12 sedan, led by the 2010 Speed Sedan’s 4.2-second 0–60 time.

How we verify Bentley Continental Flying Spur performance data
Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Bentley Continental Flying Spur trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
