The Flying Spur V8 S is a fart-y looking car, but that's Bently's style, and we're OK with that. It's got 528HP, 502 lb.ft of torque & will be as heavy as your mother-in-law after thanksgiving (exact weight has not been release yet). There has been no price announced, however we guesstimate it at around $210K. With a 0-60 time of 4.6 seconds (the same as a WRX STI), this isn't any sort of speed demon. When released, the car with take its place between the Flying Spur V8 and family flagship W12.
Bentley may be holding back, but we haven't see anything wildly interesting or innovative in the press release. There were no pictures of the interior, no info on the price, curb weight and much more. If you're an old dude with a lot of cash, you may want to read the specs below for more info.
