Bentley has just launched the new Flying Spur, a significant redesign of the older model, in India. The most powerful four-door Bentley ever made is also one of the most expensive models in the country. At INR 31,000,000, this luxury automobile cost the equivalent of over $500,000 at the current exchange rate.
The 2014 Bentley Flying Spur is essentially a redesigned version of the outgoing Continental Flying Spur and has a 50 kg (110 pounds) lighter chassis. Engineers have made the chassis stiffer, which in turn allowed them to soften the suspension without compromising the dynamics.

Powering this magic carpet is a more powerful W12 engine, producing no less than 616hp (625PS) and 800Nm (590 lb-ft). 0 to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 200 mph (332 km/h) aren't in the least bit unimpressive, but neither is the price tag.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
