2023 Bentley Flying Spur Speed W12 Quick Review

[@ppmnox]

I was shopping for one of these but the superior quality of a low miles 2008 accord was just too much to ignore.

‘Shut up, your mom’s Bentley is a lease’

[@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13]

Leasing is the only way to own a new Bentley... Considering they deprecate like a bookshelf falling down a staircase. Although, this final edition W12 might be a little less painful.

Lease or no lease, but for me (maybe I'm getting old) 2008 Bentley Azure IS what Bentley is about - pure representation of "rolls-royce for a driver" spirit Same comfort, luxury, confidence, and indescribable pleasure of driving It is literally an yacht, you sail it “above it all”, and it looks fantastic This one looks pretty much like any other expensive sedan (no offense, just my personal opinion)

[@ChicagoItalian]

I just wish Bentley made the engine…as an owner and on my tenth Bentley Turbo R - the quality and craftsmanship of the SZ will be missed.

[@superchargedsteve3411]

Its easily one of the best looking sedans available today! And then the interior detail and craftsmanship. Id take this over a RR any day.

Nah, a lot of the shots at the beginning were lame, while they were talking about the color of the thing, and walking around it. Anyone with an iPhone, a stick, and a piece of duct tape could shoot the same thing. I can't believe you commented that it was good, or that anyone likes your comment.

[@brandonchism6960]

Ok for anyone confused about the engine, the W12 is “2 sixes stitched together” but still in a “V” architecture with 2 banks of cylinders versus 3. However, the cylinder layout is the same as a VR6 where each cylinder is offset by ~15° versus being directly inline as with a normal v12. Just google VW W12 engine head to see images.

[@g.r.2985]

Thanks professor, 😂

The word for your Patek Philippe analogy on the dash etching is Guillioche

[@scottcrawford3745]

I think he was confusing the back of the watch/ front of the movement where they do the Perlage, with the front of the face where the Guilloche is done with a special engine tool. Perlage is also called " Engine-turning" or "Jewelling". That Dashboard was definitely Guilloche. Well said.

[@ccwnyc5671]

[@aceofspades6667]

So Naim is a sister company of focal and they are both premier audiophile companies. It’s surprising that the audio isn’t top notch here. Naim makes the amplifiers and electronics while focal makes the high end woofers. They must most have used focal woofers in this implementation.

It "only" does 205MP/H (not that I would ever go near that speed) from a 4.4l TT V8 @ 600HP.. It cost me 55K and had every option ticked except for the 2+2 seating which I didn't want..

[@marcusturner5291]

Nice video keep up the good work fellas

[@Thommadura]

The problem I have with the Flying spur is that I am tall at 6'8" and have a bad left leg. The platform they used for this car is the Panamera platform - which is low to the ground and it has a lower roofline making it awkward for ME to have to step DOWN into the car - and the footwell is narrow compared to a Ghost or Maybach. I do not have that problem with my Phantom. The Bentley that really compared to the Phantom was the Mulsanne - which they discontinued

[@kevinv5203]

Yeah the FS is compared to the Ghost not the Phantom that's pretty much its own class

[@Thommadura]

Yes - the closest thing to the Phantom was the Mulsanne which was discontinued. It would have required VW to produce its own new platform - and was not selling well enough to make it worthwhile. The FS is based on the Panamera Platform - and that is a negative to the Ghost because of its height and low roofline as well as narrow Footwells.

[@Thommadura]

Religions were invented by deviant HUMANS in order to control uneducated masses of stupid people. THey have created THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of GODS - all of which are PURE AND UTTER nonsense. The days of religions are no longer needed since we have governments and laws made by real LIVING people. I ask again - if you have witnessed your god - by all means post the Video and the Selfies to prove it - what NO PROOF - not a surprise - not one ever has any. GO and peddle your nonsense to lower animals - Humans are too intelligent to believe this nonsense anymore.
