626HP ULTRA LUXE SEDAN! 2021 Bentley Flying Spur First Drive Review

[@BrianMakse]

The all-new Bentley Flying Spur offers a unique driving experience among ultra luxury sedans. What do you think?

[@GadgetyMV]

Thank you for this drive. You seem to pick the greatest dark shades on your luxury GT drives. What's it like compared to the Continental GT in terms of your experience? Is the Flying Spur the ultimate 4 door GT? Would be great if you did a similar drive in the new RR Ghost and compared them, as well. I expect the FS to be sportier.

[@ewardbach8955]

The best looking car.

[@allanmedrano3278]

Damn another great review!!

[@allanmedrano3278]

Hot damn! You killed it again! Live the fact that you’re a professional driver so your insights are extremely insightful. PLUS your video and sound editing is TOP NOTCH

[@BrianMakse]

Glad you enjoyed this one, as well. I’ve gotten to know the Bentley lineup over the years.

Thanks again!

[@andreigheorghiu7364]

Is it more comfortable than the s class maybach? Does it worth that 50-80k difference of price?

[@BrianMakse]

Haven’t driven a Maybach, can’t comment directly.

[@mikiyosangyo1627]

Excellent review. Sure, there is one important question: V8 or W12 which one would be better to run this car? Thank you.

[@BrianMakse]

What do you mean by better?

[@Edward-np4ih]

Everyone wants this kind of car. But nobody needs it.

[@BrianMakse]

Nobody needs a car.

[@MountainMetal]

Not as expensive as I would have expected. Stunning motorcar.

[@BrianMakse]

Love this car. Hits me right in the feels each time I see one on the road.

[@drb3608]

great review. is there android car play available? massage all 4 seats? is there a foot activated trunk opening feature? what about an assistant parking feature-parallel and vertical? Any autonomous driving? is there an eco pro mode? starlights on the inside roof at night? can you shift gears in sports mode with the stick shift or must you use the paddles? any hand gesture features, fragrance spritzers or folding tables in the back? Love the car but seems a shame if the car doesn't have many of these features that some. of its less expensive counterparts have ie Maybach. and alpina B7

[@BrianMakse]

Why would anyone Android Auto in a Bentley?

[@drb3608]

@@BrianMakse thats your answer to my questions? Hmmm ok. Not everyone has an apple i phone in fact most of the world has Android. Anyway let me know if you know the answers to my other questions Thanks

Brian are you in California? I love those beautiful hills

[@BrianMakse]

I was then and I am often, yes.

[@paulm6481]

Beautiful car. Old world, almost belong a different era. For that money today, I think I get a Yukon Denali and a Corvette and Challenger Scatpack 😈

[@BrianMakse]

I don’t think it’s an either/or decision for those buyers.

[@benspiritas7050]

@@BrianMakse when I win the lottery I will buy a British Bentley Continental gt w12 convertible

[@tvanb]

@@BrianMakse i disagree. i don’t think it’s often the case where the people that buy this car can automatically afford to buy 5 of them. sure, this is an expensive car, but it’s not absurdly so

[@ManfredEWhite]

Nice Video.

[@BrianMakse]

Thanks!

[@malcolmskinner3117]

Brian Makse Im 6'5". How far back can the front driver seat go and is the hood visible?

[@BrianMakse]

Malcolm, if you can reconnect in two weeks' time, I'll be testing the V8 version and can gather any data points you require.

[@superheroherohero]

Awesome job.

[@BrianMakse]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@86scottjm]

Which Joe Rogan podcast was you listening to 😁... Nice review.

[@BrianMakse]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed. It might have been a recent Gad Saad or Mike Baker episode. Can’t remember off the top of my head.

[@TheBS80]

Very good review. This is the best looking Flying Spur I've seen so far in reviews, most of them are Sequin blue (which is a very female blue) or metallic green (which is inappropriate for me on a Bentley). To your test car, I would add the lower chrome grille to match the upper one. Second I'd delete the misaligning (and annoying) chrome line on the veneer. Further I'd add imperial blue (darker blue) instead of that greyish leather (is it porpoise?). It just would match better. Edit: one further thing which annoys me in every review - that boot lettering is ridiculous. It's a Volkswagen group thing, Golfs and Passats have their names written on the boot, but please don't do that to your Bentley. It's as ridiculous as the "Quattroporte" on a four door Maserati.

[@BrianMakse]

Thanks, BS. I enjoyed the spec of this Flying Spur. Near perfect, not quite to my personal tastes, but close. Agreed on the boot badging. I'd have that removed.

[@krane15]

You missed the rear seats completely. Great for a driver, zero fro the passenger. Half of the Bentley market.

[@BrianMakse]

Bentley makes cars for drivers.

[@telliesmith9825]

This sounds like a commercial haha it should be damn good for as much as it costs

[@BrianMakse]

It is. That’s the point.

[@paulbobby7955]

This or the RR Ghost?

[@BrianMakse]

I’ll let you know after I try the Ghost.

[@paulbobby7955]

Flying Spur or Ghost?

[@BrianMakse]

I’ll let you know after I put in some seat time with a Ghost!

[@gene978]

Not being negative just pointing More Back Seat Leg Room in the back of a Honda Accord.

[@BrianMakse]

Have you measured both?

[@marktime61]

No you’re wrong. Acres of room as you get with a 5.3 metre length limo. How long is a Honda accord ?

[@BrianMakse]

Indeed. The second row is voluminous.

[@rupertrobinson7085]

Lol goood question Brian lol

[@nohandle242]

Did ya have to park it in the dirt? Gahhh....

[@BrianMakse]

The majority of Bentleys do indeed see gravel driveways.

[@boots_n_coots]

Time to give it back? Noooo.....

[@BrianMakse]

Still dreaming of that car.
