With the Middle East market representing a 10 per cent of Bentley's world sales, it comes to no surprise that the British luxury automaker is launching a pair of special edition models exclusively for the region. The Continental Flying Spur and the more powerful Flying Spur Speed 'Arabia' models are distinguished by some unique exterior and interior features and will be produced in a limited number of 50 copies.
"We have created these exclusive new models for our Arabic customers in recognition of the growing importance of these influential customers," said Geoff Dowding, Bentley's Regional Director for Asia and the Middle East.
Both cars feature unique exterior front fender badges, tread plates and ashtray lid badge, all bearing the Arabia signature.
The Continental Flying Spur Arabia, which is powered by a 560HP flexfuel 6.0-liter W12 engine, also get 14-spoke diamond alloy wheels, while its 'Speed' sibling, which comes with a more potent version of the W12 unit delivering 610HP, rides on bright silver, 10-spoke, 20-inch wheels that are compatible with optional carbon ceramic brakes.
Among the many standard features are veneered picnic tables to the rear of front seats inset with vanity mirrors and chrome inlay strips to the door waistrails.
Those interested for details on availability (we doubt pricing will be an issue), will have to communicate with one of Bentley's nine dealers in the region in Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Jeddah, Riyadh and Al Khobar.
