2017 Bentley Flying Spur V8 S

The 2017 Flying Spur is Bentley's four-door grand tourer, the sedan for buyers who want a Continental's presence with rear doors. It's a big sedan that shrinks around you on a good road, with steering that feels direct and a chassis that stays composed. The cabin is a proper hand-built space, with rich leather, real wood, and rear seats that make long trips feel short. Running costs are steep across the board, from fuel to tires to scheduled maintenance, so budget accordingly. Its 4.0L V8 makes 521 horsepower and 502 lb-ft of torque, routed through eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, and returns 17 mpg combined. The S gets a sport exhaust with active valves, so you can quiet the cabin or let the V8 bark on demand.
