Bentley prepares a new Continental shooting break

Bentley supported Touring Superleggera on the development of this special order for a discerning Bentley enthusiast.

The project was fully executed in Milan at the Touring Superleggera facilities, joining state-of-the art computer aided body engineering technologies with traditional Italian coach building skills.

There is some unmistakable genetic heritage from the Touring tradition, including a two-volume, two door approach with extended interior space, a timeless feature of Touring's 1966 Flying Star II prototype.

First time ever in this class and size, the new interior features two completely foldable individual rear seats, which can create a plain loading space over 2 m long.

The Touring Superleggera bodywork is hand crafted with a meticulous eye for quality and detail.

It includes teel rear wings, extended roof paneling, aluminum door skins and an all-alloy, electric powered tailgate.

The Bentley Continental Flying Star by Touring inherits the chassis of the Continental GTC. The 6-liter,W12 engine is available either in the 560HP version which delivers 650NM of torque at 1600rpm, or the GTC Speed variant which delivers a massive 750Nm from 610HP.

Discrete braking, cornering and traction functions mesh together to provide precise and immediate driving control under extreme or difficult conditions.
Self-adjusting air springs and electronic dampers operate independently for each wheel. All-wheel drive promotes advanced traction.

The model is CEE homologated according to the new low-volume production directive.

Touring Superleggera plans for a limited production up to 20 units, each one featuring unique specifications and details to the owner’s desire.
