The Bentley Flying Spur returns unchanged for 2018.The anything-but-standard Bentley Flying Spur is our choice. The comfort-focused suspension does a better job of gliding down the highway than the sportier S model. We also recommend the W12 engine for the full effect, rather than the V8.

CONS Lacking rear-seat extravagance Dated infotainment and safety systems
Pros Unmistakable interior quality and comfort Strong acceleration and braking The new V8 S Black Edition
