The new V8 will join the current V12 option that delivers 626 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque. The 12-cylinder option will still be the king in the Flying Spur lineup, the V8 is no slouch and powers the stunning luxury sedan to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds, making the Flying Spur still one of the quickest sedans on the market.
