Bentley Flying Spur
The Bentley Flying Spur is all about the numbers. Its engine is a W12 equipped with two turbos. In the S version, this engine generates 626 horsepower. All-wheel drive helps this heavy sedan reach 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds. The basic version, with a V8 engine, is no slouch either, with a 0-100 km/h time of 5.2 seconds. Its only rivals are the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the Rolls-Royce Ghost. The Flying Spur could be in for an update soon.
