2021 Bentley Flying Spur V8 | The Best Specification

[@paulm6481]

That interior is really something, beautiful. Old and new intertwined perfectly

[@BrianMakse]

The scents, the textures...

[@turbine6338]

As usual, very well presented Brian. You must be the only Reviewer, that never mentioned any cons or faults with the car. Many other reviewers, have had to say something negative even when its so small. Nice Vid. keep the good work coming

[@BrianMakse]

Glad you enjoyed. What cons tho? I’m genuinely interested to know. I didn’t like the delay in shifting from drive to reverse, which I stated. There’s genuinely nothing else to complain about. I’m primarily interested in the driver interface and dynamics. We don’t push buttons or spin dials to uncover ‘quirks’ here.

[@etjulien]

I'm really glad to got to drive this! Maybe, Bentley may offer it to you for a very long term review. ☺️

[@BrianMakse]

Thanks! I can dream...or I might just have to buy one!

[@leeraymer166]

When a Maybach doesn’t do it for you. Bentley says “I got you”. Beautiful car and a great review!

[@BrianMakse]

Thanks, Lee!

[@modfus]

The Maybach isn't primarily a driver's car - that is an important difference.

[@DeltaWsky5811]

Brian, This is the best review I have ever seen. Thank you. I will also take this exact specification. Sold.

[@BrianMakse]

Thanks, Beast!

[@lordclumsy]

awesome car, great review!

[@BrianMakse]

Glad you liked it!!

[@dannydanix8698]

Your black vest and maroon shirt matches the Bentley interior, is that a coincidence? Your presentation though is excellent.

[@BrianMakse]

Glad you enjoyed it. Costume wasn’t conscious. IIRC, I was shooting two episodes that day.

[@keithkelly9099]

Great video. if my lotto numbers come in this would be my car of choice. I would have tan interior but the black on black exterior is awesome .

[@BrianMakse]

Jesse James has one that’s all murdered out. Perfection.

[@hardmtnbiker]

My neighbor has the Continental GT V8 Convertible. I honestly don’t think I have ever seen a interior so beautifully detailed. BTW I think the Continental line is probably the lighter models.

[@BrianMakse]

Gorgeous cars. There really aren't any lightweight Bentleys, save for the GT3 racecar.

[@allanmedrano3278]

Great review! Your audio, video editing is spectacular

[@BrianMakse]

Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you stick around!

[@bmuns6445]

Dark green paint. Black wheels, black calipers, black leather interior, polishes aluminum swirled dash accent. Thats my Bentley.

[@TeeGoRex]

@Brian Makse Would you recommend this Bentley over the New much improved Rolls Royce Ghost? I own a Bentley Continental Supersports among other Cars but also want to add a Ultra luxury sedan to my fleet... Another Great review by the way 👏

[@BrianMakse]

Thanks Tee! I think that's a much longer, multi-factored conversation. Please feel free to shoot me an email to my first name at my last name dot com!

[@cameronstewart6193]

@brian Not totally sold on the snout, but pretty hard to argue with your assessment of the interior. One thing I love about your reviews is that you tailor them to the price point, so everything gets a fair shake. In other news, my Save the Manuals merch apparently shipped today....

[@BrianMakse]

Thanks, Cameron! People buy Bentleys just as they do BMWs, so why not evaluate them on similar criteria? Glad to hear your order shipped! We can't see specific orders, so I have to ask, what did you choose?

[@cameronstewart6193]

[@SebastianThierjung]

awesome vids. loved the camera angles!

[@BrianMakse]

I think you may have seen some of it!

[@allanmedrano3278]

Great review! Video, sound and editing are top motch

[@BrianMakse]

Glad you liked it! Hope you stick around!

[@gene978]

Excellent presenter of this Masterpiece Respect!

[@BrianMakse]

Thank you, Gene!

[@stephenhills2420]

Brian, just to be clear, are you saying that you like the Flying Spur?

[@BrianMakse]

😎

[@krane15]

If Bentley wants to move beyond the W12 what they really should have done was develop a hybrid. Adding an electric motor to get the car moving, then combining in the V8 to keep it at peak power and efficiency. In that instance, moving to the V8 wouldn't seem as if you're taking a step down or backwards. I'm surprised with all its divisions, the VW Group hasn't developed a mass appeal hybrid motor at this point. One for its 4 and 8 cylinder cars. Not everyone is totally convinced on EV cars.

[@BrianMakse]

The hybrid had been available for a while.

[@ohroonoko]

Hi Brian. How would you rank these premium car audio systems: Naim, Rolls Royce Bespoke, Burmester (Porsche), AKG (Cadillac)?

[@BrianMakse]

Great question. I'm totally the wrong person to ask because I have hearing damage from racing cars. Also, I haven't heard AKG at all, haven't heard Burmester in years, the Ghost was a preproduction car, leaving the Naim as the only fair and proper recent listen.

[@craigfleming8849]

In Australia this is $600,000!!

[@BrianMakse]

Worth it!

[@mufithalef7111]

Very nice!

[@slowemm]

Love this vehicle, what a badass machine. I will own one.

[@BrianMakse]

I really enjoyed this car.

[@slowemm]

@@BrianMakse Nice touch that your shirt and shoes matched the interior.

[@apeele298]

I love this car

[@BrianMakse]

Same here.

[@biiz7648]

How would something like a V6 turbo boosted engine resonate with you for that flying spur ? Very beautiful car.

[@BrianMakse]

Unless it’s mated up with some powerful electric motors and a huge battery, I’m not all that excited about that idea.

[@paulm6481]

Much presence no doubt, yet it keeps making me think how hard washing this vehicle and keeping clean will be and then all those swirls. You have to get ceramic coating or a clear film for this paint. Almost a must. Otherwise beautiful but I want more meat on my wheels too.

[@BrianMakse]

No worries about keeping it clean. Simply have your detailer drop by once a week.

[@paulpellico3797]

ok...damn you for getting to drive what would be my (and my sons)fav rag top. ya, your car is not a convertible, but still is passable. maybe my next life????

[@khunopie9159]

Did you move to LA, Homeslice?

[@BrianMakse]

When are y'all gonna visit?

[@sterlingking950]

Great review.. Wonder if I could trade the wife & kids in foa dwn payment! 😂😂

[@BrianMakse]

Thanks! Ask your local Bentley retailer!

[@andrelima5124]

The exterior is boring predictable black on black spec but the interior, oh man that's nice

[@dleebox2268]

The v8 seems more spirited than the w12

[@BrianMakse]

Well, it is louder.

[@wardellward]

Is that own by Volkswagen

[@paulm6481]

Yes I think that is same engine as in big Audis too.

[@wardellward]

@@paulm6481 tru tru

[@BrianMakse]

@@wardellward That engine appears in all sorts of things, from Audis to Uruses.

[@wardellward]

@@BrianMakse ok ok

[@Lipslikesugar187]

Sexy! Love this car because time was taken to be built and just incase of an accident you’re protected.. Its a big body. Some cars/TRYCKS are V8’s but the body isnt strong incase of an accident.

[@BrianMakse]

No.

[@Lipslikesugar187]

I love Bentleys, they r a better version of a Volkswagen.

[@BrianMakse]

No.

[@evilco.8496]

In my opinion, the First Edition emblem ruins the entire appearance of the car. Looks tacky.

[@BrianMakse]

Good thing it can be remove easily!
