Bentley Motors has unveiled two unique Continental models, which have been engineered and designed exclusively for the Middle East market.
These special edition cars have been created at Bentley's Crewe headquarters with both models offering a range of striking features specially commissioned for Arabic customers.
The Middle East market now represents 10 per cent of Bentley retail sales globally and has doubled its contribution to the worldwide percentage of sales over the last five years.
Geoff Dowding, regional director, Asia and Middle East, said: "We have created these exclusive new models for our Arabic customers in recognition of their growing importance.
"Bentley has a long and proud tradition of being able to design, engineer and personalise our cars to the individual styling and driving tastes of our customers and these special-edition Bentleys showcase these skills for the Middle East Market."
Bentley's has a nine-strong presence in the Gulf with dealers in Bahrain, Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Oman, Jeddah, Riyadh and Al Khobar. These two new models have been launched specifically for this unique market.
The Continental Flying Spur Arabia and the Continental Flying Spur Speed Arabia retain all the potent performance of the company's Continental Flying Spur and Spur Speed, the world's fastest luxury four-door saloon, but with a range of additional exterior and interior features.
Both cars are further distinguished by some subtle exterior and interior 'Arabia' motifs. These include an exterior front fender badge, tread plate and ashtray lid badge - all bearing the Arabia signature.
The class-leading performance of the W12, 6-litre engine is in no way diminished. The Flying Spur Arabia can reach a potential top speed of 312 km/h and a 0-100 km/h sprint time of just 4.9 seconds.
The Flying Spur Speed Arabia offers a more powerful 600 bhp (610 ps, 449 kW) version of Bentley's highly acclaimed W12 with 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque.
Unique wheels are also offered on both models. The Continental Flying Spur Arabia is designed with an elegant 14-spoke diamond alloy wheel, which has incredible strength.
For the Continental Flying Spur Speed Arabia, vibrant and sporty, bright silver, 10-spoke, 20-inch wheels are included, and are also compatible with optional carbon ceramic brakes.
Bentley's ability to add extra, well-executed touches of luxury can be found in the ventilated fluted seats that effectively cool or warm the body, helping drivers and passengers to stay comfortable.
Prices for the Continental Flying Spur Arabia start from BD90,000 and the Continental Flying Spur Speed Arabia starts from BD95,000.
