Bentley has quietly updated its flagship sedan, the 2027 Flying Spur, which now presents itself as sportier and more powerful. The big news is the return of the S version, which is equipped with an engine capable of delivering 680 horsepower, allowing the vehicle to reach nearly 310 km/h. This move reinforces the brand's commitment to a more dynamic luxury.
The mechanics hidden in the new Flying Spur S 🏎️
Under the hood, the Flying Spur S mounts a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that delivers 680 hp and 770 Nm of torque. The transmission is an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic, and all-wheel drive manages the power. Bentley claims that the 0 to 100 km/h sprint is completed in 3.7 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 306 km/h, although it is rumored that it can reach 310 km/h without restrictions.
For the average citizen: a sigh and keep walking 😅
While Bentley fine-tunes details of its new toy, the common citizen wonders if the price of this car could pay their mortgage. The good thing is that, by force of looking at photos and drooling, at least we know that someday the headlight technology or the infotainment system will arrive in a car we can actually afford. For now, we can only dream of those 680 horses galloping down the highway.
