Bentley buyers looking at the Flying Spur now have a new option to choose from in the form of the Flying Spur V8 S, which makes its world debut at next month’s 2016 Geneva Motor Show. As the name suggests, the car sports the same powertrain as the related Continental GT V8 S, in this case a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 delivering 521 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque. It’s the same V-8 found in the Flying Spur V8, which was introduced for 2015, although in this model the engine delivers a tamer 500 hp and 487 lb-ft.

2014 Bentley Flying Spur first drive review
It's hard to pick out the landmarks through the dusty permahaze, but even just before dawn it's clear. Beijing does not play around with scale. Second to none is the general theme, and it holds true as you pan from one side of the hotel window to the other. The Olympic Torch towers off stage left...

We brought you live photos from the Geneva Motor Show and from the New York auto show--and now, we're just back from a first drive from Beijing to the Great Wall.
