The 2022 Bentley Flying Spur mesmerizes with its high society appearance, six digit asking price and incredible opulence. But does it have enough to beat the 2022 Porsche Panamera, a fabulous car with incredible performance and extensive opulence of its own?
Design & Style
The Panamera offers the best of both worlds, functioning as a family vehicle that can be used to drive the kids to school while also being powerful enough to compete on the racetrack. It has four doors and seats four passengers in a cabin that is regal in all respects. While most variants use a V6 engine, buyers can upgrade to the V8 if they wish. Its fastback roofline and elongated frame gives it a sleek appearance.
The Bentley Flying Spur is distinctive for its athletic chassis. It also seats four passengers and offers three engine options, which include a hybrid plugin with handling that can only be described as adept. As you can imagine, the cabin is covered in the finest materials, such as gleaming metallic accents, top tier leather and natural wood. The rear seats feel great, especially with the heated armrests and powered adjustments.
Technology & Safety
Bentley provides numerous driver assistance functions for the Flying Spur, though most cost extra. These include emergency automated brakes, frontal collision alerts, pedestrian detection and night vision with adapted cruise control. Luxuries within its cabin include a sixteen speaker audio system from Bang & Olufsen, wifi, twelve inch touch display and climate control.
The Porsche Panamera also provides numerous driver assistance features, but the difference is that some are standard and do not cost extra, like lane management. Buyers who pay extra can get night vision, frontal impact alerts, and blind area monitoring with emergency automatic brakes. Luxuries within its cabin include wifi, the choice of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, twelve inch touch displays and climate control which covers four zones.
Performance
Those that desire ultimate performance from the Porsche Panamera will purchase the 4S E-Hybrid, which can generate 552 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in just 3.2 seconds, with a top speed of 186 miles per hour. The most powerful Bentley Flying Spur comes with a W-12 engine that can generate 662 horsepower which can accelerate from zero to sixty in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 207 miles per hour.
The Bottom Line
While the Porsche Panamera has superior acceleration, the Bentley Flying Spur has an edge in horsepower and top speed. But this comes at the cost of a gas guzzling twelve cylinder engine and despite its high price tag it lacks most driver assistance functions, and this makes the Porsche Panamera the winner.
