Putting a 616-horsepower, 12-cylinder engine into a four-door body yields a luxury sedan with quietly thunderous performance. Given its size and spaciousness, the Flying Spur feels surprisingly nimble in turns, too. And its big brakes help it stop quickly.
As luxury sedans go, it's fairly simple. It lacks all the technological gee-wizardry one could get in a Mercedes-Benz for much less money, but it makes up for that in raw power and sheer Bentley-ness. Maybe a Mercedes S-Class can practically drive itself, but if you wanted that you'd just hire a chauffeur.
