Bentley Flying Spur V8

How it looks when you see on the street:  Hello, lover, you have arrived. That’s what the car seemed to say to me as I greeted it at San Francisco Airport. It was my chariot that would chauffeur me to Monterey Car Week — and it fit right in with the high-class highway crowd. It’s undegone a bit of light cosmetic work for the 2025 model year — a new grille and a more sculpted bumper.It remains a big schooner of sedan, and ideal for both driver and passengers. It’s a Bentley, darling. The eloquent “B” says it all — it comes with everything, and the kitchen sink.

How it makes you feel when you get in: Like the baller driver you are, or that we assume you to be if you are in the market for a Bentley. The Flying Spur has mastered the art of people pleasing performance — meaning it’s staying true to it Bentley Boy roots in race car driving.

How it drives: It glides with ease along stretches of highway. Flying Spur is so powerful that it’s easy to speed without even trying, and it’s buoyed by a new engine, a 771-hp twin-turbo V-8-and-electric-motor power package.

Space for people and things: We toted a medium suitcases that still seem to be swallowed up by tit cavernous trunk.

What should you compare it to: The modern limousines of the ultra-luxe world, namely the Rolls-Royce Ghost, the new kid Cadillac Celestiq and the standard bearer Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

 How much it costs: The base price is $276,450, but it’s hard to imagine it without the skie-the-limit list of options.
