As a BMW owner - I'm really happy Bentley isn't copying the latest "efforts" (ugly is the new beautiful) of the Bavarian company. This B (in contrast to mostly everything coming from the Bavarian B, even the last G60 5 series launched just over a month ago) - IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS to look at. This should be shown to the CEO of BMW - Oliver Zipse - every time he utters words like "modern cars need to ugly" (his actual words) to the media. Here you are, a modern and jaw-droppingly beautiful car. By the way.. I've also got an old audi - I'm so proud as to where it's grown :D :D Thanks for the video, greetings from Latvia.

[@pevvex4452]

Definitely best looking VW on the market.

[@15DEAN1995]

im convinced that the vw group have held back the power of the 4.0 audi v8 and the 6.0 w12 for the last decade. the power on these engines has barely increased, the 4.0 v8 went from 560hp to 600hp meanwhile the w12 has grown from 610 to 650. i think we all know those engines had so much more potential but they never let them run loose.

[@mutiracialbeatdownPB]

850 with tune only. The NA W12s were also factory underrated, I would know since mine dynoed 40hp over what VW said it makes.

you'd have to define "best" for me just to say that over the new Rolls or a Maybach. I mean, you'd really have to define what you mean if we're going to have a serious discussion about it. First of all, how many new Bentley's have you been in in the last 5 years. Rolls? Mercedes? I mean, you your just some guy on the internet. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if the most luxurious car you've ever ridden in was an Acura MDX or something? don't you think a guy who drives a car like you, has any business evaluating luxury cars that you know nothing about outside of what you've seen in KZbin videos. Seriously? why the fuck do you even have opinions about things you've never experienced? it's silly.
