When a wealthy grand touring amateur demands a more spacious rear seat in his Continental GT, he orders a Flying Spur. Besides the 616-hp W12 version, a new V8 trim with cylinder deactivation has been introduced this year, mostly to adapt to fiscal rules in some markets. Still, this 500-hp twin-turbo engine propels all 2425 kg of British aristocracy to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds. The Flying Spur shares its ZF eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive hardware with its coupe sibling.
