‘It’s a gentleman and a brute. It’s a Vulcan bomber and a Pitts Special. It’s a spring day and a Louisiana thunderstorm. Rivals? I can’t think of anything’

Bentley sent their Flying Spur Speed model to Jeremy Clarkson for review, and he found the time to give it a go. Here’s a preview:

“Let me give you the headline. The new 4.0-litre V8 engine produces 591bhp and the electric motor then adds another 188bhp. Together they produce 771bhp. In a limo. Madness? Well, that was my first thought too because who wants to be chauffeured around in what is basically a road-going rollercoaster?”
