The Bentley is the only option its the best of both worlds. Sporty and Luxury, nothing can beat a Bentley in my eyes. Such a beautiful car and whoever spec'd this one out did a phenomenal job. An absolute beaut.

[@Paradoxical124]

Except a RR Phantom, since you probably won’t be driving it like he does in this video everywhere.

[@danielmiller9012]

@@Paradoxical124 RR phantom is a completely different car than Flying spur.. RR phantom is a little more comfortable with a little more presence.. Flying spur is eons better performance wise. RR slightly better to be driven in, Bentley FAR better to drive.

[@biswajit707]

If I can I will choose Bentley flying spur over RR Ghost and MB S class everytime.

[@derekgaliee4351]

​@Abdulloh Abdumalikov They are Different for Sure . I Have driven All Rolls was A Phantom not Ghost. I Love The Phantom. The Flying Spur is Rare compared how many S class in my area . Iam in The Automotive industry 35 years tomorrow

[@Brianuwu622]

This is my first time seeing you go back for seconds for the cornering test, what a car!

[@MilesPerHr]

Worth it!

[@eddstarr2185]

What a true example of "rapid elegance". The Bentley Flying Spur Speed excels over its rivals with exquisite details, exterior and interior. The spec is unique with Satin Pale Brodgar wheels in contrast to the Midnight Emerald paint, simply stunning! That the 6.0 litre W12 is only available with the Speed model is a clear indication that the Big engine will soon go out of production. Last call for the "well-heeled" with a need for multi-cylinder Speed! Fantastic POV Drive review, Miles. As always - Thank You!

[@michaelmurray9643]

Absolutely flawless and excellent review. The only thing I would change in the vehicle would be the exterior color. The only thing I like in Green is Benjamins. Again, great job and well researched. Out of the Park ! ! ! !

[@wandilematsebula7079]

A Grade content. All the way from South Affrica!

[@mkzai]

I just bought it recently and I have to say that unlike the Rolls Royce and the Maybach, this is actually a driver’s car and one where you can be driven. It has the perfect blend of practicality, luxury, and performance. What else do you need?

[@WT9999Z]

This is great! Thank you.

[@woodshed_moments]

I love the all black with the polished wheel.... A car needs contrast, I'm glad they decide to keep the w12 for the flying spur

[@riptiide9285]

I went on the Bentley website and the Mulliner spec still offers the W12 too!

[@BrandonWillis-kf5zm]

Perfect in every way

[@USDM_Jesus]

I'm a American car guy but this is for sure a dream car

[@jonathankenton2502]

Beautiful car, & great review as always! Now you said you’d choose the Bentley over the ghost, would you get it over the phantom as well?

[@MilesPerHr]

Good question. Obviously the Phantom is a segment above, and even less "sporty" than the Ghost, but...my conclusion is still the same. If this is my do-it-all car, then I'd have the Bentley. If I've got the supercar for the weekends, then it doesn't get better than the Phantom to relax you during the week.

[@cod4r]

After watching your video RR Phantom this Bentley looks inexpensive 😂.

[@johnwaga3702]

Bentley, every time!

[@legioner9]

Gorgeous looking car.

[@mr-is2bf]

Insane spec wow 👌

[@hockeymann88]

Not the way I'd spec it but probably the best sedan on the planet. The bandwidth between luxury and performance is superb. Of course right, there is Porsche dna mixed in with Bentley luxury. If I needed a less expensive option I think the Audi S8 would get you dynamically close to this.

[@alengreen589]

looks very nice 👍

[@scottleyva8656]

Normally I'm not a fan of green cars, but that interior is beautiful!

Thanks for da AWESOME Ride. Wrap it up, I'll take it ❤

[@keynesianeconomics4113]

For me, outside of the megacars like the Chiron, Bentley is the best overall manufacturer at combining everyday practicality, absolute luxury and massive performance.

[@silversleeper484]

Hello Milesperhr. I was wondering if you have every Driven the Bentley Continental 2010 - 2012 1st Gen Supersports V12. The Two Door with rear seat delete. If not what is your opinion based on what you heard or had in discussion with fellow Petrol Head. The Pros and Cons of the car now that the car is 10 to 13 years old now. Thanks

[@naashuman5503]

Lovely automobile! 👌🏻 Ghost fan me 😊

[@TheFattiShow]

You forgot to put the thumbs up guy on the HUD! More is some Sheriff should be a fan of MPH 😁

[@naveednazer1239]

How is depreciation in one of these things just curious although i cannot afford one is it worth buying .

[@lanemoore1178]

The speed isn’t the only way to get the W12. You can order the W12 In the mulliner edition too.

[@antongusev2673]

Surprised that it doesn’t come standard with monitors/entertainment for rear passengers.

[@santinosonny4047]

Would you take this over your blackwing..?

[@mileglavash]

[@MilesPerHr]

Thank you, Scott! Really appreciate the support 🙏

[@user-mg2sf4nk9z]

Very nice car

[@usernamenotrequired142]

Miles, what is the reason you have to block the speedo all the time now? It used to be only the canyon driving session. Did you got a ticket or is it manufacterer requests ?

[@nicholasschumacher2448]

The speed is displayed in the headphone display anyways 😂

[@MilesPerHr]

Some manufacturers have asked for it to be veiled, so I've made the decision to obscure it in all my videos to be consistent.

[@Beifeitefamilytraveltents]

I like this car

[@Ethan24000]

[@brandon4574]

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

W12 = Great Engine. Sorry to hear Bentley is giving up on making great engines.

[@andreasgoehler6592]

Cool Car

[@dannys6871]

nice genesis!

[@MercOne]

Stunning. The exterior color and wheels are perfect, but that interior should have been one of their dark tan colors. Not green, beige or brown, but a tan.

[@MilesPerHr]

Tan would also have been great, but I did really enjoy the unusual green on green spec

[@jumboJetPilot]

I would get the interior in something other than tan. Tan/beige, gray, and black are way too common industrywide. With a Bentley you can get it any way you want it, up to and including having Bentley copy the color of something else. I would definitely take advantage of that!

[@moonshadow8181]

Why is there a lag on the CarPlay

[@barnabasetyang103]

Is this the same car throttle house had?

[@fanboy7_got7]

Can you add subtitles like the previous videos because I have an average understanding of the English language...and I watch videos on TV and I can't turn on the subtitles in the required language like the rest of your previous videos...thank you

[@MilesPerHr]

Sorry for the delay - subtitles are coming!

[@josephinebennington7247]

I would want to hear my Boxster exhaust under acceleration. But not from my Bentley Speed. It sounds like it’s hammering the tappers.

[@dannywong7825]

Will get the Bentley perfect for family of four

[@BomberFletch31]

I don't want it edgy, though. If I were to get a Speed, I'd spec it with chrome, burl walnut woodgrain, and beige (sorry, Linen) leather interior. I'd want all trace of it being the 'Speed' variant well hidden.

[@calenroberts932]

i’d take the flying spur, but i would get mine with a V8. better soundtrack. always been a hardcore bentley fan, especially since it’s in the volkswagen family. as much as i love rolls royce, i feel like it’s a little too sophisticated for someone like me. i do love the maybach s 680 as well, but the flying spur just speaks to me in a way that the maybach s 680 does not

Having just looked at a British Racing Green First Edition , I can say I dont care much for the Black Pack , it makes it look cheap and nasty vs the chrome elegance the car was designed with , there is also a matt black wrapped Flying Spur at the same dealer and it looks like a bucket of excrement in comparison . Some cars are best left to initial design options , this is one of them .

[@RedLeo-pf9yo]

Yep

[@JRB41]

Rolls Royce if you wanna be driven in, Bentley if you want to drive yourself

[@jlsc4125]

Let me get this straight, because YOU want to drive the car like a racer you want them to rework the steering wheel so you feel better, even though the average user will probably only use that mode once or twice a year to show off. Yea, Bentley will get right on that.

15:50, the vehicle is shaking at high speed. Stability control is poor as is the shock and suspensory

[@naggersgonnanag]

W12 sounds good

[@jumboJetPilot]

I might have to pick one up at some point. But I certainly wouldn’t want the 12 cylinder engine. I’d spec both the interior and exterior of mine just like I recently painted a building that I own - in various shades of blue. I’d even have them stain the interior woodwork in blue!

[@inksashawn]

Can somebody agree that he sounds a little like ryan reynolds?

[@georgeparaskevopoulos6601]

I would go for the Merc-Maybach

[@wpworkingpeople]

Bentley Flying Spur is the best for me. Rolls Royce is too “british” and Mercedes S 680 is too “limo” but for me the top is the Bentley Mulsanne speed. The old V8 in the Mulsanne is the top in the luxury engine in the world!
