The model

Read full review

There are plenty of luxury cars that make more sense, but few have the sense of occasion you get with the Bentley Flying Spur. Flawed, but we can see why you might.

The trim

See full equipment

The long list of standard equipment includes 21in alloy wheels, full matrix LED headlights, a 10-speaker, 650-watt audio system, wi-fi and a 12.3in touchscreen infotainment system.

The engine

See full engine specs

The 542bhp V8-powered Flying Spur is cheaper than the W12 and still indecently quick (0-60mph takes 4.0sec). To our ears, it also sounds sweeter than the W12 engine, so it's where our money would go.
