Bentley"s new Flying Spur V8 S has arrived as a third variant in the luxury limo line-up. It takes up the small gap between the regular", 500bhp Flying Spur V8 and the range-topping, continent-crushing Flying Spur W12 and its 616 horsepower.This one, then, gets a slightly more powerful 521bhp twin-turbo, 4.0-litre V8. The same one used in its Conti GT V8 S stablemate, in fact. It"s a great engine in that coupe, and offers up 502lb ft of torque, to propel the Flying Spur"s considerable heft (2.4 tons) from 0-62mph in 4.9 seconds.That"s three tenths faster than its lesser-powered sibling, while top speed sits at a heady 190mph.
