If the Flying Spur W12 seemed up your alley in looks, but just wasn’t quite fast enough, you’re in luck. Bentley is tacking an “S” onto the badge of its Flying Spur W12. That extra letter brings with it a 626-hp W12. That means the latest addition to the Flying Spur family can go from a standing start to 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds, and is the first four-door Bentley to crest 200 mph. Not bad, considering the curb weight is nearly 3 tons.

Those kinds of numbers are possible because the W12 under this Bentley’s hood makes an impressive 605 lb-ft of torque at only 2,000 rpm. To better deal with high-speed performance, Bentley switched around the suspension to make the car more agile than standard but keep the cushy ride you expect from a high-end luxury car. Helping to slow things down, Bentley will offer optional carbon-ceramic brakes.

Of course, performance figures and parts are second only to this Bentley interior accoutrement. Climbing inside the cabin, you’ll find leather covering the majority of the surfaces. What isn’t covered in cowhide will either be wood, engine-turned metals, chrome or carbon fiber.

Bentley plans to start deliveries later this year for the Flying Spur W12 S. As far as price, well it’s tough to say -- we imagine these will start north of the regular W12 Flying Spur’s price (around $225,000) but can get as expensive as your pockets will allow.
