Ultra-Armored 2009 Bentley Continental Flying Spur

bulletproofbentley

A luxury car, even one that's devoid of much flash like the 2009 Bentley Continental Flying Spur, should get you plenty of attention. What it doesn't afford you, however, is security. That's until you deck it in military-grade B6-level protection, that is.

This Bentley currently on sale at JamesList converts the car from a super-luxury vehicle to an ultra-safe, battle-ready ride that should leave the worst paranoid in the world feeling comfy inside its protective shell. It's fully armored to keep occupants safe, all while showing virtually no alteration from the outside and creating no compromises on the 552hp V12 engine's 197 mph top speed performance (though, I doubt it doesn't suffer even a little bit with all that extra weight).

Modified by JS Armoured, the warzone-friendly Bentley's subtle but potent updates should instill confidence in your safety. These include ballistic steel doors, pillars, overlaps and sides to make it impenetrable to most common threats. All windows are replaced with bullet-proof units that are inviolable from the outside but can be taken out with enough force from the interior. Other safety-fostering changes include tires that can run flat, an explosion-proof tank, kevlar flooring, exploding hinge bolts (in case you need to make a speedy exit) and a self-contained oxygen supply system, among many others.

It's a pretty insane tuning, but one that I reckon any billionaire who values personal safety wouldn't want to travel without. The heavily-armored 2009 Bentley Continental Flying Spur is currently on sale, with two units available, for $500,000, which is a little over $300,000 more than what the stock Flying Spur is going for.

    The features of this highly safe car resembles a Fighter jet. I think the next James Bond movie will be featuring one of these Bentley Continental Flying spur (Only he has these kind of secure beasts :) )

    I am an automobile engineering graduate, it was a good interesting post and i enjoyed reading it. Informative and interesting.

    Woo hoo! I want one.

    Like DuDe said the car can only be featured in a BOND movie or used by President OBAMA. Practically i think there laws in some states where civilian’s cannot buy Armored or Bulletproof cars.

    I always love a Bentley. This one is surely heavily armored, though I wonder who would be buying one of these.

    Just got one of this amazing beast. It’s what spending 500 grand for, and it is an asset.

    OK, this seems to be a great armored car, but I can’t see the armor level… I really hope this car is at least B6 armored, because if the armor is under B6, that means the passengers aren’t protected from AK-47 attacks or small grenades.
    The look of this car is really frightening, so from this point of view is one of the best bulletproof cars
