\nThe Porsche 918 Spyder<\/a> might’ve been our pick<\/a> of the Geneva Motor Show<\/a>, but the consensus on which vehicle we’d drive home was unanimous: The Bentley Continental-based Flying Star<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As many of you have pointed out, we’ve got a undying love of all things shooting brake, so the Flying Star lit up all the right nerve endings. And apparently, we aren’t alone.
\n
\nCar and Driver <\/em>spoke with Stuart McCullough during the launch<\/a> of the Mulsanne<\/a> and when asked about the possibility of a Bentley<\/a>-built hatch, the Volkswagen<\/a> board member said, “We have an idea in the back of our minds that we may yet bring to market.”<\/p>\n

That’s far from a confirmation and it’s doubtful that a Continental<\/a>-derived shooting brake is coming, particularly when you consider that the GT is due for a refresh. However, something based on the Mulsanne’s underpinnings could replace the aging Continental, and Bentley is sure to be considering other body styles when that model arrives within the next few years.<\/p>\n
