That’s funny. He probably thought it could drive on sand as it has four-wheel drive.
The Bentley Continental Flying Spur has permanent four-wheel drive with Torsen limited-slip centre differential for front-to-rear torque control. 4-wheel electronic traction control (ABS braking) is employed for side-to-side torque control. So far as I know they only have conventional front and rear differentials.
He could have kept going, but I bet he stopped or slowed down, then the laws-of-physics took over. The driver should have known better, no ground clearance and on road performance tires are not a good combination. Also the 4-wheel electronic traction control is more than likely programmed for on road use, not off road use. Not all traction control systems are created equal.
Proof you can have more money than common sense...
