Every so often a car comes along where nodding off while travelling is a vital part of the evaluation process. We’ve always found the rate at which oblivion descends is one of the very best yardsticks by which to judge a luxury vehicle. We’re confident if you spend more than five minutes in the back of the Bentley Continental Flying Spur, you’ll feel your muscles relax and your eyelids grow heavy. This is not just a ‘car’. It is referred to by the people who make it as a ‘motorcar’.

Just occasionally, however, you’ll want to remind yourself that this motorcar is more powerful than any Ferrari currently on the market and it takes just one tap on your chauffeur’s shoulder to do exactly that. The Flying Spur’s 0-60mph time of 4.9sec looks impressive enough for such a large motorcar on paper, but you need to experience it for real to appreciate the rare majesty with which this mobile mansion will throw itself down the road. Ultimately it will do 195mph, making it the world’s fastest saloon. This car will keep you smiling from start to finish. For this is a motorcar that never ceases to amaze.
