Bentley Conti Flying Spur already spotted on the road
 
A friend of a guy on a Belgian forum has already spotted a new Bentley Continental Flying Spur on a Belgian highway. It had UK license plates, but the car was LHD. The colour is also pretty unconventional for a Bentley. Since the car still isn't delivered to the dealerships yet (though they will be soon), I suppose this is a test car for the press.

Don't mind the small pics, they are prolly taken with a cell phone:

Damn, I actually like it :?

But the coupé looks much more better, I think this car will be selling more than the coup" version, because its basically the same but much more roomy.

Hmm... not that great IMO. Not imposing enough.. the arnarge was good, the Phantom better :mrgreen:

You could be right about the press car thing, but the plate means it was registered before March... i think they still had work to do then, so it may still be a development hack :wink:

^^^^
maybe a problem with the paint shop in the factory :lol:


I agree, the Arnage was more impressive and imposing. If you see an Arnage approaching in your rear view mirror, you try to move out of the way asap. If you see this in your rear view mirror, you probably will also get out of the way, but in a more lazy manner. It just doesn't scare you enough.

The colour is Neptune, i think. All Bentleys can be had with this colour.

This replaces the arnage?????? Bentley needs to go back with Rolls.

It doesn't replace it.... i am sure Bentley will provide a more exclusive, extravagant Arnage replacement :)

Maybe a little exaggerated by me. But if a Bentley Arnage is approaching fast, you'll have a real imposing machinery getting close to you when you’re viewing through your rear view mirror. Maybe it's not 'scary', but it nevertheless shouts: 'out of my way asap', and can at the same time be classy as you said.

I think its pretty ugly looking from a 3/4 rear view
