Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed Mk I

The Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed Mk I reaches 60 mph in 4.54 s (100 km/h in 4.74 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.97 s, tripping the lights at 110.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.15 s and the eighth mile in 8.47 s, reaching 100 mph in 10.88 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Continental Flying Spur Speed Mk I

The 2008 Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed Mk I is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 2,400 kg with 602 bhp, which works out at 251 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.15 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,689th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 45th quickest of the 70 Bentleys here. Its 110.6 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed Mk I 0-60 time?
The Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed Mk I reaches 60 mph in 4.54 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,689th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed Mk I quarter mile time?
12.97 s at 110.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.47 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.15 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed Mk I have?
602 bhp and 2,400 kg, which is 251 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 322 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed Mk I?
Closest here on pace: Jaguar XF (X250) 5.0 V8 SC 470 (4.58 s), Cadillac XLR-V (4.50 s), Jaguar XJR (2010) (4.55 s). Each one can be raced against the Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed Mk I in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed Mk I is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
