The New Flying Spur V8S Has No Rivals

Another star at the Geneva Motor Show, the connecting link between the Flying Spur V8 and the W12. The V8S, just like the Continental GT with the same engine and specs, will be recognizable by a series of aesthetic details: black front grille with inserts matching the color of the body, gloss black rear diffuser and 20″ wheels as the two-door version. But what makes it special is its own engine, a more sensitive V8 (with 4 cylinder deactivation depending on the type of driving), capable of delivering 521 horses and 680 Nm of torque on both axles. At that point, and with sports car performance, you can make your personal limousine further exclusive and unique, thanks to an almost endless list of options, such as carbon-ceramic brakes, alloy wheels and various different materials, combinations and colors for the interiors. A lot of technology helps not only to limit, as far as possible, fuel consumption, but also to improve the driving experience, thanks to the automatic ZF 8-speed gearbox (also able to turn off the eighth gear, in favor of a better engine brake), and an “S” mode (sports mode) even more focused on the connectivity driver-car.
