Greetings from Portugal. By far the best car reviews in KZbin. Obrigado!

[@autogefuehl]

Daniel Bacelar thanks and greetings back! I will be filming at your's on Monday/Tuesday

[@marklaw4435]

Thomas, you know why I enjoy your reviews so much? Because you Know what you are talking about! Your in-depth reviews, cover just about everything imaginable, seriously you are the Gold Standard of Excellence for the Automotive Review Journalist. Great review Thomas, and thankyou Autogefuehl, keep up the great work....I will be buying a new car soon, and will do so via the internet, using Autogefuehl as my reference research library.

[@autogefuehl]

Wow thanks a lot! Let us know which car you are going to order.

Thanks for the vid!!! It helped me a lot. I like your full detailed review on cars. Keep up the good work!!!

[@GordonMiller]

COMMUNICATIONS: One other great feature that you didn't test, was how good the cell phone works in Bluetooth. I always got compliments on how good the speaker phone was in the car. Even in the GTC with the top down at 70 mph you could talk in a normal voice and Bentley has that all figured out. For those of us that work 24/7 it is nice to be able to take calls anywhere any time.

[@autogefuehl]

+Gordon Miller interesting!

[@mikeymarmalade]

Hello from England! A very good and thorough review. I would entirely support your views regarding the rear lights. Your reviews are detailed, thought provoking and I enjoy them very much.

[@ArmandoTalian]

Wonderful Review! Thank You!

[@autogefuehl]

Thx join us for more!

[@GordonMiller]

The reason that the GTR-3 has alcantara inserts is because the leather is too slippery for track use and the cloth grips better. That is why the Recaro seats in the Mitsubishi Evo were only available in cloth at first. The cloth does not wear as well so the Spur has all leather for durability and comfort. You also do not have the same heat and cool options with combo cloth and leather.

[@ClaireYunFarronXIII]

Nice review. 🙂👌

[@carycoller3140]

Thank you SO MUCH Bentley for not joining the new stupid trend of putting the infotainment screen on top of the dashboard. Keep it where it is....integrated within the dashboard where it belongs 👍.

I would certainly like to keep the circular headlamps, yes, up the lighting technology as it becomes available and you could still incorporate design enhancements within the classic circular configuration, it's a Bentley trademark

10+ for properly dressing when testing cars. Bentley= suit. Others dress in shorts and flip flops. Thumbs up!

[@autogefuehl]

+Dan Alex 👌

[@mr.terwilliger5728]

That color is absolutely perfect.

[@GordonMiller]

REAR AUDIO: You have to switch the rear audio system to the speakers from the controls on the front console.

[@thepurplesband]

The reason for having both a sim card and a hand held phone is that the sim card plays the phone calls over the cars speakers, the hand held phone is for private conversations. Its the same in Porsche.

[@cesp4827]

But you still deserve a 👍🏼 for your delicate approach

[@primarulgiurgiului]

Nice car and review! You are so lucky to get to test such exclusive models like Bentley, Ferrari, Porsche, etc.. I also think that color is the best for a fast British car. PS: what the Brithsh and the Germans also have in common is the platform this car shares with the VW Phaeton :)) .

[@autogefuehl]

+Dragos Teodor Bran thanks! Great to have you watching so many videos of us. Indeed Phaeton gave a lot of parts for that one

[@Skaaala]

that white stuff around the logo looks like residue from polishing and not glue

[@vsboy25]

Very detailed review, The flying spur W12, is a status symbol of a man success. in life. it may not have the most fancy gadgets but it packs luxury and brutality in power like no other car on Earth. it would be a honor to own one.

[@VarunKumar-ye6iy]

Hi Thomas, Awesome review once again! Only thing I am not keen about this car is the green colour :), how did you like the colour since you had the car in person? Keep up the great work.

[@autogefuehl]

Varun Kumar Thanks!! Well as I said it is fitting for a brit car, but I would personally go for a blue one :)

[@Marko_Horvat]

Great reviews Thomas! PS. You have polish sounding surname... Do you speak/read/write in polish?

[@autogefuehl]

uk574 Thanks! Yeah indeed, ancestors came from Poland some 4 or 5 generations ago. Tongue got lost on its way though ...

[@GordonMiller]

SIM in the armrest is for the rear seat entertainment for data etc. As I said in my other comment, the "phone" in the armrest is not a phone but a bluetooth handset that is called a "privacy handset" so if you get a call and want to have a private conversation then other people in the car can not hear you. In most US cars, it uses the bluetooth phone that you have linked and it is just a handset in the EU it may use the SIM that the rear seat uses. Not sure.

[@kevinn1158]

Thomas, another very detailed review! Great! I agree, this car is very elegant. ;p I also concur about your opinion of the rear of the car. It just lacks the same finesse as the rest of the vehicle. Overall, I have to say that the car is very distinctive though. It really makes a statement and that's what people buying this type of car is looking for.

[@autogefuehl]

kevin n dito !

[@mesutmeydan22226]

very nice

[@VincentSandfordofSEOsynovation]

Yes the round headlights are classic

[@Ambienfinity]

Great review - you look at cars properly, in the round. Few reviewers would note the white glue at 4:42. When British and German designers and engineers work together, they can come up with stuff like this. I love the round headlamps - I used to like the Mercs when they used them. PS have you driven the VW Phaeton? Poor man's Bentley.

[@autogefuehl]

I have driven it as a co-driver a couple of times and talked to taxi drivers. All say that the Phaeton is a price-reasonable and underrated car. Noone wanted to have a luxury vehicle for less money obviously.

[@Ambienfinity]

I love the Phaeton - to me it epitomises German engineering -- the hinges inside the boot, for example. An anonymous masterpiece.

[@blakebias9515]

what I love about british cars their so beautiful and timeless sexy and their a since of prescience and style along soul about a bentley or a jaguar

The key is more used to change over batteries , should the starter battery not work you have a second even bigger battery usually to power accessories that can start the engine.

[@joshron99]

Stunning eyeglass frames, terrific suit, its drape and sheen, the shirt a superb match. As for the shoes and belt, well, what can be said except splendid choices, very tasteful-- what an all-together impact everything made! Very good. As for the car, something of a bust actually. Nothing about it was dazzlingly impressive, as one might otherwise have expected-- at least something about it here or there, after all, this is a Bentley. But only its grill, emblematic and timeless, still uber-impresses. The backseat refrigerator hogging, as it does, important "boo-t" space seems a silly effort to impress and the car itself, overall, not much more.

[@JohnyMcNeal]

Maybe navigation system works faster when the car is turned on. I believe some cars drop down cpu clock speed and overall performance of the hardware powering the system when the car are turned off cause of the lower electricity consumption. Not sure if thats the case here.

[@GordonMiller]

+quornash In my 2012 Bentley GTC that was exactly the reason. I am sure it is here too. Appears to be the same system. Not all of the features are available without the car being on.

[@autogefuehl]

It is very rare that you can get those cars, and to coordinate it to the very same date with two huge car transporter delivering them ... that's really tough

[@Pilotfarmand]

Hi Thomas ! I really like you reviews, sadly most of the cars are too expensive to buy here in Denmark, even with a decent job. A thing you could improve is your camera man. I think your camera man should take a look on other car reviewers, here on KZbin, to get some tips and tricks. It sometimes feels, that the shots are not thought through. Keep up the good work ! Cheers from Denmark.

[@autogefuehl]

Sixt Thanks! Sorry what exactly do you mean with the camera work? About the expensive cars, yes, we ll also try to deliver you cheaper cars in the future. In general, we do have a wide variety

[@omarr6021]

nice review Thomas.i am big fan of BENTLEY and owned several of them however i am not happy with the recent design direction . Bentley suppose to be more unique in there approach and design its becoming BOLD with excessive use of plastic and cheaper wood and leather. Lack of B hood emblem is a shame so as the sheap black exterior door pillars wish should of been stainless same goes for the huge plastic grill....totally un acceptable from BENTLEY IMHO

[@gbriank1]

This car is loosely based on the A8L. With minor modification, the V8 comes from the S8. It has cylinder deactivation and lighter weight that reduces consumption. If I had the money, I'd go for the V8. I've heard both the V8 and W12 side-by-side. The V8 sounds much better. I like how the Haldex all-wheel-drive is standard. If equipped with an all-season tire, you can really enjoy all four seasons with no worry. Plus, no power is lost to slipping wheels. I agree with you on the navigation. Paying 200k euros, you should have the 4G unit from the A8. You are in the Mulliner model. I think there are 16 bull hides in that car. A bit of interesting fact. Rolls Royce receives their BMW sourced engines completely built directly from Germany. Bentley, on the other hand, assembles the entire vehicle (including engine) in Crewe.

[@autogefuehl]

gbriank1 Definitely, I would also pick the V8.

[@cesp4827]

Are you revving rollroyce or peddling an Audi ?

[@dogbsas]

OH, my car.....ok, my dream car :O I want this, an Aston Martin db9 convertible and some SUV....maybe a big mercedes one

[@CRCR7]

The LX570 is a pretty nice SUV ;)

[@eggbirdtherooster]

I think it wasnt glue on the W12 logo.. its wax I think?

[@autogefuehl]

Hmm maybr

[@autogefuehl]

Maybe :)

[@GordonMiller]

+EGGBIRDTHEROOSTER Since these cars are still made in England and not Alabama, they have to be shipped over by boat. So that the salt ocean air doesn't damage the finish, various coverings can often be applied to the cars to protect the luster of the original finish from the factory. The car just wasn't detailed fully at the time of the video. Easy enough to clean up.

[@rajestate4364]

But the width of the rear death doesn't seem to be more!! Is it true. Pls reply..

[@marc1093280]

The Bentley Flying Spur is a great ultra-luxury exotic car, but the S65 AMG is a better daily driver.

[@fbhacent]

+Indian Warrior because he is 100% right. for 200k euros this car really isnt that nice man

[@fbhacent]

***** thats also true :)

[@death2pc]

+marc1093280 Thanx for your in-depth, personal experience all knowing advice.

[@GordonMiller]

As to the delay for the push buttons on the display, I will say that it was the one aspect of my GTC that I hated. My PhD work is in Human Factors Engineering and that delay is annoying as hell. I was told by Bentley that it was done on purpose to keep people from using it while the car is in motion and also to get people to slow down and enjoy the aspect of using the system and to minimize input errors. I hear all those and I still say it is crap. I think that there is a huge delay because they have a very inefficient routine for interpreting input and a poor choice of input hardware for the screen. It is by far the biggest downside of all the Continental range, GT, GTC and Spur. Even a software upgrade could cut the delay in half. It makes using the screen while the car is in motion very dangerous. The upside is that the voice module for voice input is amazing. In the 2 years that I had my GTC I don't recall any time that it misunderstood a command. So, just use the voice input and you will love it again.

[@autogefuehl]

+Gordon Miller good info thanks!

[@dantze]

I prefer the older styling for some reason... the model before this

[@a8s320]

My S-Class has all of the features (except for the fridge) and costs a split of the price of the Flying Spur... I guess people buy this for image purposes mostly...

[@GordonMiller]

+MBS5004M there are a lot more differences between the Spur and the S-Class than just a fridge. The Bentley wins head to head contests consistently when run against S550, S55 or S63 variants. Even the S65 doesn't fair as well as the Bentley. I have owned and driven all of them and the engine in my SL65 (Twin Turbo V12) is the same as in the S65. The W12 engine is smoother, has more low end torque, and is more fuel efficient. It is also quieter, either due to cabin sound insulation or just engine management. Both are great cars, don't get me wrong, but the quality of the interior of the Bentley is light years ahead of the S-Class. The leather, wood and metal in the Bentley is superior in every way. the NAIM sound system is an insane 1,100 watts of pure perfection in the Bentley. All of these comparisons are validated on KZbin if you check other reviews.

[@pqsaservices]

Hi Thomas, A great review of a classic British Luxuary car. I think your comments about the driving experience miss the point that a Bently is designed for effortless cruising along the motorways/autobahns of the world. It's not, as you do say, a sports car, it's an extremely luxurious Grand Tourer. A quick question. I've noticed in several of your reviews, for British cars, this Bently, the Jaguar XE & XF, the Range Rover Evoque etc, that all the cars are left-hand-drive yet they all have UK Registration Plates, eventhough you are obviously in Germany when testing them???? Why are they not German registered, as are most of your review cars? Just curious. Jonathan.

[@autogefuehl]

hey Jonathan, thanks for the feedback. Well the left hand drive vehicles are of course also built in the same factory, and since those are cars that are press vehicles they sometimes are directly registered to the plant itself - to express it in a simple way :)

[@pqsaservices]

Thanks for clarifying that. I just found it quite odd to see LHD vehicles with GB plates, and wondered how that happened. Thanks

[@IEEM01172]

If you're going to daily drive a car, would you take this or an S65 AMG ?

[@autogefuehl]

+IEEM01172 Hmm... S-Class leads in technology, the Bentley arouses more attention. I probably would take an S300, S350 or S400 as these versions are also available with cloth seats!

[@IEEM01172]

+Autogefühl What I dislike about the Bentley, and most uber luxury Marques (Rolls Royce, Astron martin, Ferrari ...) is that people give you dirty looks when driving, so it's not really the car's fault. An S65 can be as luxurious and quick, without making the driver look like a snob :) . This is a bit off topic, but is there any chance for you to review the new Dodge Viper GTS ? It's very different from most European cars, and I wanted to know what your impressions are. Thanks again for the reply , and keep up the good work (very insightful and entertaining reviews)

[@IEEM01172]

[@autogefuehl]

+Pholela Mapeyi good aspect

[@goddesseddog]

Great review. The car is however really an old design. The dashboard still resembles old Phaeton (highly). The armrest with the phone and the storage underneath is exactly the same as old D2 A8s. Of course, only the FS has leather everywhere, but underneath it's the same old design. Also, while the engine is unnecessarily powerful, it's hung completely in front of the front axle (like all Audis / VWs / Seats / Skodas). Not really suitable for this class of cars.

[@autogefuehl]

+goddesseddog thanks! And I agree!

[@GordonMiller]

+goddesseddog the front half of the car is exactly the same, interior and exterior, as my 2012 Bentley GTC. The "family resemblance" to the Phaeton is not by accident but because a significant number of folks from VW who worked on the Phaeton also working on the new Continental and Spur cars. The phone is a "privacy handset" and if actually very helpful if you get a call and you don't want to share the conversation with other people in the car. As to the engine being unnecessarily powerful, this car has the same W12 engine that my GTC had and I find that the engine was quite suitable given the massive weight of the cars. I had a 2004 Bentley Arnage before this and the 6.75L V8 from that car is terrible. The compact layout of the W12 is only 3 cylinders deep vs the 4 deep on the V8 cars and as such, I find that the weight bias is desirable. A "mid-front" engine layout would have taken up way too much wheelbase and interior space and this is a suitable compromise.

[@MaytaneVideos]

[@user-hs2hd7wp9g]

Good review but that car is overpriced, you're paying for the exclusivity, you'd get a better deal by choosing any large German sedan (A8, S-Class or 7-Series).

[@ThePaulv12]

Fuck the animals - give me leather. That said I really like the understated aspects of this car. In a sense the Breitling association with the car is a liitle off; and I do mean only a little. In some ways I see this car as having more the Rolex ie classic understatement but I'm nit picking. I disagree with you re the rear. I like the rear. The reason I like it is the side shoulders are very sexy, and the way the side shoulders segue to the rear is quite well done esp. when viewed from the rear. There are subtle ques also, like at the back of the car when you look forward shows the recesses from the C pillar and the flatish portion on to the side shoulders. This speaks of power and is a hint to the lovely side view - even though you're looking from the back of the car. The symmetry of the C pillar relief when viewed from the rear is nicely done! If the back was ugly, all this would be academic because you'd be secretly sicking up at in your head saying to yourself, "Self, fuck that's ugly! What were they thinking ergh, ergh, ergh?" But NO, it is resolved. Sometimes unresolved can be good too but this isn't that, Yeah? This is a big car, and to make it still appear big (the presence part) and not appear as river barge is very skillful indeed. Those tail lights for example are cleverly proportioned and incorporated in a very British way. They speak of previous Bentleys from a bygone era, yet remain contextual in the understated and classic British way. It's about the history of Bentley and this car is true to the marque. I for one am sick of electric stove top hotplates as tail lights. I guess they look good on a 1968 Dodge Charger with a 426 Hemi (and perhaps a Ferrari) but they've become so ubiquitous as to become passe, just like the man bun and beard look on hipsters that have achieved nothing in life except how to make a cafe latte the way they think you should drink it and really think they are artists when they're just making a stinkin' cup of luke warm coffee tainted milk. That passe! The one thing I really dislike (hate even) is those horrible looking permanently mounted screens in the headrests. I do really think those stupid gimmicky things are as ugly as a hat full of pigs arseholes. Couldn't they have tried a little harder and made them fold away or something? The understated nature of the car is significantly diminished in my obviously subjective opinion. They could do away with the W12 emblems also. What do I need to be reminded or broadcast to the world what donk is in it? I just paid E220k for the idiot thing so I'm thinking I know what powers it. They look silly anyway. If they want an emblem then make a model with only one engine choice and then the model denotes the engine type, or alternatively, leave - the - bloody - emblem - off. It's good to do the exercises, it's good to do the exercises, it's good to do the exercises, it's good to do the exercises, it's good to do the exercises PS I would liked to have seen you barreling down the Autobahn at high speed in this review. I wanted to see the quietness and stability of it as well as the high speed characteristics when doing 270kmh+.

+ThePaulv12 Fuck the animals? Obviously you have lost your compassion, that is very sad. Would you support this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6OqnJyJlMdsmMk&oref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DurGkiS_b9bg&has_verified=1

No, not at all. I just can't stand being told how to think by the supercilious attitudes of the modern gentry. Compassion is biochemical reward initiated by the pleasure pathways in the brain and is no different to Christ worship. Desist from assuming you have to edify the subordinate for this is conceit.

+ThePaulv12 There is no need for animal cruelty. So why do it?

[@ThePaulv12]

+Autogefühl The presumption in that statement is all animal death is cruel. Life is cruel - and full of monstrous contradictions wherever you look. Proselytizing your little agenda on a motoring review is unprofessional and makes you look like a goose - IN MY OPINION. Thing is I'm a rabid misanthrope essentially. Having been a vegetarian for a full seven years I noticed my own spiritual arrogance and superiority was a separatist mentality used to exalt myself in the eyes of non believers. I was on a power trip and therefore a wanker. I had a son and on his first birthday party he gorged himself on the most appalling crappy pressed meat you've ever seen. I realized in an instant that man's dominance on earth (currently) is the result of the process of Darwinism. Unfortunate but true! Your results may vary.
