  3. This is a (smaller) reproduction of Gaudi's original 1:10 model, used to calculate structural balance. Between 1889 and 1908 Gaudi designed the Colonia Guelli Church with a highly innovative method: the hanging model. With the model inverted, a very lightweight masonry brick structure was developed.

  6. That key theme of 'understated but bold' is evidenced in the relatively simple body section and a horizontal beltline with very little 'wedge'. Bentley Continental R 1952 The body is drawn tightly around the 19” wheels and the cabin clearly relates to the rear wheel, with the C-Pillar anchored directly above it. Key differences from the Continental GT include the fender crease line that runs straight back through the doors rather than fading out Continental GT and the reversal of the DLO theme. Whereas on the GT, the rear side window kicks up from the beltine and terminates at a sharp corner in the roof, on the Flying Spur, that theme is reversed, with the softer corner in the roof and a sharp lower corner. Continental Flying Spur Finally, the A-pillars on the Flying Spur are more upright to provide better cabin space and a sweeter balance to the cabin profile.
