Bentley decides to extend the engine range of the current Flying Spur with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo engine. The V8 powerplant comes with an output of 500 horsepower and 660 Nm of torque.

The engine is linked to an eight-speed automatic transmission from ZF and alongside the all-wheel drive system, the 0-100 km/h sprint is possible in 5,2 seconds with a top speed of 295 km/h.

Even though you would expect slightly better performance figures from a 500hp V8, you shouldn’t forget that the British model is not the lightest car out there. Fuel economy figures are also improved thanks to a cylinder deactivation system which will be handy when traveling at low speeds, especially in the city.
