2014 Bentley Flying Spur V8 Review

    When Bentley released the Flying Spur in late 2013, it was a big step away from the Continental family, mainly because it used to be a four-door Continental GT, where it clearly did not belong. But now, Bentley has released a V8 version, which uses the same 4.0 liter V8 in the Continental GT V8. It is Audi-derived, and produces 500 hp and 487 pound-feet of torque. 0-60 takes 4.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 183 mph. The interior is pretty much the same as the W12 Flying Spur and that is a good thing, considering the enormous list of leather and veneer choices. It has a lot of options as well, for example the rear-seat fridge and the touch-screen remote control that can control the navigation head unit and allows you to view the vehicle's current speed. I think even though Bentley removed the Flying Spur from the Continental family, it is still very similar.
