And now, here comes the confession of flaw!
There’s no debate that Bentley Flying Spur Speed is a phenomenal feat that can’t be replicated by just jigsawing pieces- its grandeur bends space but not the corners. Physics pulls its strings and reminds mass is monarchs not man.
In simple terms, Bentley’s Flying Spur Speed sheer weight or say mass, being at over two tons comprises agility on tighter roads; simply falters. A subtle yet untrivial blemish that often shrugged off in most reviews.
But that respective shortcoming it possesses doesn’t undo what it offers- the sweet tension between elegance and physics is what makes the Flying Spur Speed a compelling luxury choice.
A rolling contradiction that is both a chauffeur’s delight and driver’s indulgence -transforming every commute in a theatre, a ride experience that redefines mobility.
