[@hanspeter24]

[@damilolaakanni]

The size of the Flying Spur hasn't changed significantly since its launch in 2006. However, more safety and luxury features have been added over the years, together with the introduction of the ZF 8 speed automatic transmission (in the first generation it was a 6 speed), which meant that the weight of the car increased, and as a result, more power was added to the engine. With more weight and more power you're going to need larger brakes to stop the car more effectively.

[@cyjanek7818]

​@@bryangillis1839EVs can brake VERY efficiently and quickly with electric motors, they won't need bigger brakes

[@GT3Marine]

Bigger brakes don’t necessarily have stronger clamping power to stop quicker. Brakes are bigger because they dissipate heat better than smaller brakes during repeated high speed braking. That’s why small sports cars like my GT3 have bigger brakes. Nothing to do with weight or the need to stop faster once. Just heat management during repetitive braking.

We'll see about Bentley going fully electric in 2030 given the current status of the EV market. I know this video was likely recorded months in advance, but my point still stands. Although, I can see Bentley having an EV for the same reason Rolls Royce has one and that's because Bentley is also a high-end luxury brand. However, Bentley is also known for being Rolls Royce's more sporty competition in addition to being really luxurious. I also really love the spec of the Flying Spur you reviewed here. I'm a sucker for green cars with bronze/gold trim pieces. I would also have the same exact interior as this press car funnily enough. I think it's a very classy spec, while also being sporty at the same time. I'd buy this example in a heartbeat. xD

Hey, Doug. Love your channel. However, in this particular review it’s not entirely true that the massage function is only accessible through the infotainment system. Rather, it’s easily accessible on both driver and passenger seats. It’s a small round knob right below lumbar support knob on the front seats. Same knob is on the rear doors. You mentioned all of the buttons except these for some reason. Otherwise, your review is excellent as usual.

I love the way you explain every detail the car you’re a wonderful person. I explain every detail aspect you can see you have a love for the Bentley and love for this type of car. Amazing amazing Bentley has picked someone to express their love and expressed the details would Bentley quality stands for unique, elegance, grace and powerful great job, Bentley 👑

Dougs a young man. I hate to see him 10 years from now.

It's hilarious how they were quick to accuse the Lincoln Continental of " copying " Bentley, yet the Continental was produced several years before this.

IIRC there is a button where the seat controls are can bring up the massaging seats menu when pressed.

I think this green paint is far nicer than the common silver or black...and subtle,too

[@krazyUPGRAYEDD]

Gotta LOVE these automatic responses Doug. Keep buying cars at everyone else's environmental cost Doug!

[@Cam_Fasching]

Doug your knowledge, is very convincing. I have always heard Bentley is better than Rolls. And your passion for the W12 and wisdom. Made me a Bentley Believer. Thx.

Saw a continental speed edition not too long ago. I thought a cool quirk was getting a model version of your car which I figured Doug would point out?

[@Rickiye]

In a Bentley, Doug's diction changes: 14:55 "what you have is sufficient" instead of ...'enough' 6:35 ...'gauche' becomes 'cool' at 15:30 😁 By the way, that textured diamond pattern on the signal stalk at 13:33 and 14:11 is known as knurling. Good stuff though Doug, ol'chap 😏

[@joalmeria891]

14:47 Isn't the button seen on the side of the seat a physical button for the massaging feature?

[@Allmentux]

Yes, it is :)

[@joalmeria891]

@@Allmentux Lol aight, wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one who noticed lol

[@SugarBlood15]

Any car with a W12 is going to be a future classic. Mark my words. Even the Pheatons and A8s.

[@AutoAndChill]

Love it... but why is it army green???
