There was a lot of pressure on the new Reacher TV series to get it right after long-time fans of action hero Jack Reacher expressed disappointment in the Tom Cruise era. Alan Ritchson certainly brings the right taciturn physicality to the role—Reacher is repeatedly described as swole and stoic—but other details had to be spot-on too, such as the diner setting which functions as such a key part of the book.

And then, of course, there are the cars. While Reacher is consistently depicted as a nomad who travels across the country via train and greyhound, at one point in this series he drives a Bentley Flying Spur, which Ritchson described in a recent interview as a real highlight of his experience working on the show.

"My favorite part about working with the Bentley is getting to drive a Bentley!" The actor quipped. "I love that thing. It's like driving a private jet... Who wouldn't want to drive a Bentley?"

In the same clip, author Lee Child, creator of the Jack Reacher series of novels on which the show is based, spoke about how the vehicle embodies the "values" of the character. "I think their values are very much Reacher values," he said. "No other car will do what that Bentley does. It's about producing the best car you can, and not compromising."

While that might sound a lot like a writer saying anything in order to be able to have his character play with a real-life Bentley, this particular model does seem to fit the Reacher brief of minimal masculinity and fast-paced action. According to Car and Driver the Flying Spur boasts an "athletic chassis" and "seemingly endless power," complete with "high-end leathers, woods, and metal accents intermingled with modern-day technology."

It sure sounds appealing. The six-figure-before-customization price tag? Less so.
