Does a limo need to be good to drive? Bentley certainly seems to think so. This is the new Flying Spur, and it"s had heaps of driver-focused tech thrown at it to ensure it"s the company"s deftest saloon car yet. Chauffeurs have never had it so good. There"s all-wheel steering to make it nimbler at low speed and more stable at high speed, while its active all-wheel drive system defaults to rear-wheel drive, only utilising the front axle when things get really slippery. Even then, only 31 per cent of torque will be shuffled up the front if you"ve prodded the Spur into sport mode; for reference, the old one had a permanent 40:60 front/rear split.
