Why am I watching this. I debate getting a large drink at Wendy’s.

Magnificent beast that reminds one of a bygone era.

"Velvet hammer of awesomeness". I just like this string of words.

The metal trim on the rotating dash thing doesn't line up straight. That would bug the hell out of me.

Always Nice To See john Davis

Fast car especially for being so heavy.

now THATS a car!

The past two Flying Spurs have had very odd proportions, being based on various Audi/VW products. This one makes you immediately forget those. It seems impossible for a car of this size to perform so well, yet coddle you in such ultra-fine luxury. Those horses are obviously thoroughbreds being able to hustle a 5000 pound, 17ft long car this fast! There's just one problem: I can't afford it!

Future Hoovie Hooptie.

Every time I look at these luxurious VW group cars, something about the dash that some kind of a error light will illuminate.

Throughout the years, I've never been much of a fan of Bentley's cars because just didn't look all that great to me for all the money they command. These newer ones, though, like this Flying Spur, this car looks fantastic!

I bet the audio is superb when blasting the tunes with a high audiophile name like Naim!

The slalom clip, - you could see the tires sticking to the asphalt... it’s about to peel off.

That misaligned rotating info screen is one of many reasons to never pay this amount of money for a car. I used to be a butler and my employer sold his Bentley Turbo R and bought the Rolls Royce Flying Spur. He asked me to go over the car to see if there were any issues with it. I found over a dozen, including a spot of glue on a rear head rest, an angled screw in the drivers door sill, two loose threads in the seat stitching and imperfections in the front grill. Needless to say, my employer was pissed and had the car returned to make it right. You're merely paying for the bragging rights, not perfection. At these price points, I want perfection in the details, especially with how these depreciate!

Super reportage bravo ...from Marseille

Love that car, and the late 80s more!

Good job to all those involved Great Design!!!

I like it a lot. I would love it if there was a rear drive option.

PLEASE, P L E A S E, P L E A S E upload the BENTLEY TURBO R retro review if you haven't already. Thank you.

Wow almost zero body roll. It’s a good deal compared to the rolls.

Love it!

HOLD UP! That rotating display.. once done rotating does not match up with the rest of the trim.

when this thing took off I was like F****!!!! like a dam sledgehammer.....when I became rich one day lol

Damn...that is fine. 3.7 to 60 too with all that mass. Well done Bentley!

Nice ride!

Wow, I thought it would cost more in the Ferrari range. I like it.

Beautiful Motorcar

Cool how they let us hear the starter a few times.

So this massive car has the acceleration and braking numbers of a Porsche 911 turbo from just 8 years ago. Nuts. Cars are too powerful for daily roads now.

5:12 I was thinking it would be $300,000+

nice......but does it come in a stick/manual?

would this make a good sweet 16 gift? what colors does it come with?

I have tested this car and it would be really nice for 100k, but it just doesnt keep up with its actual 300k price tag. The interior quality is not 300k, the space in the rear definitely is not 300k, the engine is not 300k and the trunk is too small for the luggage of 4 people (let alone 5, but thats irrelevant). It is fast and drives reasonably well and easily, so it should be a good long distance cruiser (I only did about 90-100 miles in it) but you can feel that it is not based on a limousine platform, but on the Porsche Panamera. If you want a Bentley, buy the Mulsanne.

Bentley and 3.7 were said in the same sentence. I still don't believe it.

God damn 11.9 quater mile is not bad for a car that Weigh like a yatch.

I was watching this guy as a kid in 1990!!

It’s gorgeous and I miss the era of big land yachts. The only drawback is for over 220k the steering wheel buttons look to be sourced from an Audi A3 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴

Only if i win the lottery on this one.🧐 Should be renamed the ARISTOCRAT. 👍😎🤓

0:20 - it’s the 2nd, not 3rd generation Flying Spur

This car is so beautiful

I don't like the square rear taillights. They need updated to the ovals.

I agree this is a sweet ride now go look at the Lincoln continental reserve from motorweek it just seems to me most media people are against American greatness.never have I ever thought that before in my life don't bet against AMERICA.

The 0-60 time on this behemoth is better than my Mustang GT's

Almost good looking enough to make me forgive them for the hideous Bentayga.

The type of face only a Kardashian can love.

#perfection

The latest depreciation king have arriveth.

You can get a slightly used Lincoln Continental for about 10% of the cost of this. They look VERY similar and no one will be able to tell the difference.

I think 100 years from now these luxury features will be standard on all vehicles. 100 years ago in 1920, vehicles were for the wealthy, today, almost everyone has one.

What a great way to spend tax dollars. Public television reviewing cars for the Tech Barons.

No wood trim on the rear doors is not sitting well with me.

Love the old flying spur hate this new design

I love my new $52,550 Lincoln Continental

What i still don't get, is the why MPG stateside is about 1/2 of the rest of the world's.

That steering wheel looks very much like the one in the Golf.

If this was 3 years I think there would be a market for this car but now it just doesn’t fit in

I feel like this is the last Bentley with the dinosaur hurrah we've all been wanting just for it to go away to Electric

I grew up watching Motorweek and man this John Davis did not age well

I decided to buy one, in four years at a 65% discount

Rear seats looks quite standard. My S class looks better in the rear.

11.9 second quarter mile at 119mph? You sure it didn’t stop from 60 in 119ft?

People trying to survive out here

New saw the reason to buy these, get a car that's 2x as reliable for 1/2 the price.

I want to buy this car but two things keep my away. The w12 engine, and the gas mileage. If they made a hybrid I would be all over it.

Bentley and Rolls can make a dual-clutch transmission work seamlessly in the ultimate luxury-barge, yet BMW uses a slush-box for the pseudo-sport-barge that still carries the M5 badge. The Bentley knows what it is and where it sits in the market. Despite all the gaudy screens and geo-behavioural-tracking devices, the M5 seems to have got lost. There is no such thing as an Energy Impact Scorecard. The amount a car owner spends on driving his car is called bank-balance-impact, if you like (or, for those who are clocking up miles down a dead-end road, waiting for the Great Depression Reset to scrub the memory of their debt and designed destitution in exchange for their total dependency, their subscription to an Essentialness Score, and their soul, it's called credit-card-interest-charge-impact).

White leather and damp or wet jeans.....not a good mix

I will feel rich sitting in the car? I guess you have to be rich to feel rich if you want to buy this car.

Purchasing this car will make you best friends with the service department at the dealership. Rear steering and that w-12 motor plus tons of canbus controlled fluff inside. Theres so much that can go wrong.

And everyone talking bad about Hyundai and Kia smh

that front end is giving me studio ghibli vibes

😊😊😊😊😊

My pick up truck weighs as much as that car lol

Five years from now, watch its value sink like the, ummm, Titanic. Yep that's it.🤣

In a 10 years this will be 30k

Very nice car but that "Black Line" mascara is depressing. A Goth Bentley is like Mom or Dad trying to show how "hip" they are to their teenage children and their friends. Ugh.

Mulsanne front and Arteon on the side? 😬

Looks like a Kia Amanti

too bad it is not reliable

Watch many videos, Bentley and Rolls Royce cost tens of thousands per year in maintenance and repairs.

👍👍👍👍👍👍🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷

Moving pictures .... hahaa wtf is this rubish

There really is NOTHING more you can do to a car these days unless you can get it to fly. Everything these days is boring, nothing new accept for the price tag... It is now a VW/Porche/Bentley product. Hey why not add some Pontiac to it,, OH WAIT, that is right, they are gone.. nevermind.!

Sorry, but if I had that kind of regular disposable income I'd have the new Rolls Royce Ghost.

The front is an overstated Hyundai

How old is this guy Jesus

What's the point of this car? Much more expensive then an S-Class, too soft for a sports sedan, not as nice as a Ghost (imo), not big enough for a flagship and clearly isn't a rear seat car So... why?

This dude looks like he crawled out of a casket. 😳

Hideously ugly front and banal rear. Inside is luxury at least. Bentleys used to be beautiful inside and out.
