2014 Bentley Flying Spur Review: Driving the most powerful Bentley sedan ever

( www.TFLcar.com ) The brand new 2014 Bentley Flying Spur is a tidal wave of luxury torque...at least that's what Bentley will tell you. In this first drive review, we travel all the way to China to drive and review Bentley's newest luxury creation. Why China? Because it is where Bentley says will sell to the new generation of wealthy Chinese looking for the ultimate luxury performance ride. So how does over 616 horsepower feel in the People's Republic of China. You'll have to watch as Roman get's to tick of an item from his bucket list by driving the newest and most powerful sedan ever made from Beijing to the great wall of China.

Thanks for the kind words. Very much appreciated it. This was a really trip cool but crazy long way to go for a car review. We're grateful that you watch.

[@TFLcar]

You are most welcome. Thanks for the great comment.

[@TFLcar]

You are most welcome. Thanks for the kind words and nice comments.

[@watuwantt]

I like how you're really humble it compares with other car reviewers that reviews bentleys, RRs, etc. Thanks for making these videos I love watching these for fun

[@2002C5Vette]

I was hoping you were gonna show the license! Roman you do a fantastic job! Love this channel, and its awesome that you get flown out to drive these amazing cars! Keep up the good work.

[@MJ4cars97]

I am in love.... great video as always guys!!! first review ive watched of this car, and thankfully it was by you guys!

[@TFLcar]

Hi Matt, thanks for the kind words about our video. We really appreciate it. BTW: On the tubes our videos get viewed 5 million times per month. That dwarfs the subscription of most, if not all, car magazine. That's pretty big in our humble opinion. Thanks for watching.

[@matts1024]

I'm really enjoying the videos guys. Keep up the good work!

[@Cabby191]

Glad to see things picking up for you guys , keep it up !

[@jjchargerboy16]

Just bought myself a beautiful Silver 2012 Range Rover HSE(no prev. owner). Great review, this car is next after the Wraith (ordered). So many good looking cars out there.

[@undersqorunderqor4464]

GREAT REVIEW GUYS REAL HARD WORK TO GO THAT FAR NICE JOB GOOD LUCK....

[@theGbak47]

Keep it up guys. Best review channel on the internet

[@SirJacob220]

Very informative and well made video!!! You've got a new subscriber!

[@NeptuneKnives]

just an awesome video guys!

[@gullwing120]

Nice review guys.

[@hipposnakeyo]

love this episode, TFL really grows over years. BTW, were those cars from Shanghai auto show? I noticed they carry Shanghai plates

[@TheGabriel116]

You guys are the best of the very best. Kudos!

[@theRussians1918]

bucket list? where do you go from this? keep up the good work

[@emo1978pr]

Very nice episode Roman...

[@KittRembo]

This is great. I cant wait to maybe watch this on Top Gear. Thanks for the review!

[@tmwall25]

roman and nathan are international playboys!!!! keep up the good work!!!

[@brooksycc7]

That is very impressive. Is that 5 million unique viewers or numerous repeats of the same subscribers on different videos? I'm just curious to see as a comparison if I were looking to start a sort of online presence in another subject, because what you guys do is pretty amazing.

[@bmwmsport11]

Looks better than a Rolls Royce Ghost. This is my next dream ultra luxury sedan.

[@stephenallen8500]

Another great vid !!!

[@amillionjens]

9:40 lol I have never seen anyone happier test driving a car. That clip should be on a Bentley commercial.

[@NikoBell12]

Boy, what an awesome car! :D And superb review.

[@kevinmsft]

Congrats on the huge viewership. Just to be fair, the car magazines' KZbin channels also get huge numbers. That's just how Internet and KZbin work since it's more accessible and free.

[@MrRedpaul84]

Great video, you deserve it roman :)

[@_conrad]

nice review !

[@stefanofranco]

Will Bentley's effort to make this car less "two-door oriented" (aka: "not as sporty" and "more luxurious") cause it to cannibalize sales of similar Rolls Royce offerings? Thanks for the beautiful video of a pretty car in that exotic environment, Roman! Am appreciating your and Nathan's long-distance trips just to get shots of these new cars to us/your viewers first!!

[@TheDeathpill]

If TFL was a tv show, i would totally watch it.

[@kodycong]

Great video!! Thumbs up from a Beijinger .

[@WOW4EVERBEST]

Nice vid guys

[@zaheer1234able]

Great job roman.very happy to see u in china.

[@UnIngerPierdut]

Hy Mr Roman. Great videos,thumbs up for them ! I have a question...is there a chance that you will do a review of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz G 350 ? or the G 63 AMG ? I've watched a few reviews on that car and not one was helpfull and concludent for me. If you have time,please give me a reply. Thank you and best wishes !

[@dham629]

Why couldn't the Jaguar XJ go in this design direction instead of what they've done to the current XJ. British cars always looked so elegant and stately with the dual headlights & big grill.

[@GETaYOTA]

You guys put out great vids. I'm sure many agree that they're multiple times better than top gear USA

[@7477238]

How is the electric sunshade innovative? It was on an BMW 7 Series E65/66 a long time ago.

[@undersqorunderqor4464]

WHEN WILL U POST THE LAUNCH CONTROL GTR AND M6 I AM REALLY WAITING FOR THAT VIDEO... THANK YOU

[@rx7guy21]

6:35 that shifter gate was lifted straight form the parts bin at VW. I know they own Bentley, but I don't think it should share parts with a Volkswagen, but then again, you can't see that from the back seat! and as always great review!

[@weirdshibainu]

Roman, what was the speed limits in China? Was the drivers area roomy? Looks like there's not much head room. Good review.

[@6824096]

I love the soundtrack at 5:22

[@peipeizhao4637]

good job roman!! i'm a chinese and welcome to china!!

[@wsc31]

Great review, probably the closest most of us will never get to ride in one. There is, however, a glaring omission- How fast will it go 0-60 at one mile altitude?

[@7477238]

Yeah the S Class is perfection for a little over $100k. It's brick shithouse solid, very well equipped, elegant, comfortable, quiet, refined, fast and it's actually athletic especially with the ABC component of the airmatic suspension. This Bentley is simply a status symbol, the S Class actually represents value when you come to think of it.

[@widebodyjohn1135]

Had both bentley is better

[@livefreest]

great review...but we don't know if Nathan can fit in the trunk. darn!

[@djgraysoundandmusic]

Can you do an audi q7 please? Thx love the vids

[@justjacqueline2004]

Beautiful car and a really gorgeous country,lucky to be in China.

[@pimi891]

please do a review of the s65 amg

[@zify89]

Not forgetting that the Rolls Royce Ghost is an expensive 7-Series too!

[@garyzong298]

The starting price for a flying spur in China is about 3.8 million yuan, which is about 0.6 million dollars.

[@pimi891]

thats true.torque gives acceleration.bhp gives top speed

[@dslpwr]

I had a '08 Flying Spur and traded it in for a '10 Benz S65. I did like the Bentley but I prefer the Benz. Good videos always enjoy them.

[@raduvlad4429]

yeah sure.

[@Erickprime01]

Hey I love your job bro how can I apply to tfl car??

[@spidersilva420]

I wish I got flown out to other countries to drive amazing vehicles!

[@whiteandnerdytuba]

Sexy title, until that Fiat 500 went by. I am glad to see each video seem to improve over time. Keep it going

[@carmcarm8230]

Good review but you should have done a bit of more of research, specially in China 95% of the owners drive their own car, even Rolls Royce.

[@SSSandhu13]

Its because Bentley wants it like that, and I would say its pretty cool to visit a country like China. not people that many people can say they went to China.

[@clifflaw]

In Dallas Bentley, Flying Spur, owners rarely sit in the back, they drive their cars.

[@klukash]

if you have a good eye its easy to see that Bentley is part of volkswagen group cause you can see a lot of parts from vw

[@prototypeglory]

Finally..a real luxury car

[@miyarude5037]

love it! start savin some money!!

[@alansariammar]

"when the mistress is calling" rofl

[@orlandoortiz9316]

i'll take 3 of them, Thank You Very Much hehe.

[@Ahsonloh1213]

Sry how much is it gonna cause in the US agn ? Didn't catch what he was saying .

[@bradpittyay]

Bentley Great Britain at its Best ! A thing of beauty

[@prosincr]

Yeah, honestly, the only one i've seen that is manual is the xj basic model.

[@SSSandhu13]

Beautiful car I would say, but the white looks the best on it

[@brooksycc7]

So Bentley flew you to China? What connections do you guys have to be able to test all these cars and have people fly you places? I love your videos, but here on the tubes you guys don't seem to have a huge viewer base, so just wondering.

[@kylewhisman]

IDK if I would ever pick it over the Rolls. There's a good mash-up video

[@jamesdavies6120]

Yknow Britain County is also home to the Downton (London) Clevelanders means home team in Ultimate Supreme Football, The Downton Swiss Patriots in MLBaseball, The Trex a griffen, and Nationals in basketball. Sterling (Edinbrough) has the Wrecks in basketball. York (Dublin) Metros in USFL, Yorkies in MLBaseball, and Parts Unkown in hockey. While Stacy (Belfast) has the Parklane in basketball.

[@poisedonis]

Ok, where do I sign?

[@mahfuj35]

That was cool

[@76carmel]

3:17 --- Roman, you can do this in a Hyundai Equus.

[@gkf653]

If I pay half a million for a luxury sedan with about 600hp and 500ft/lb I'm driving that thing myself

[@max19731978]

nah, thats a lie. Torque gives you the initial thrust at low rpm, HP is what gives you the accel at higher rpm. HP is roughtly torque times rpm. Diesel is high torque-low accel, vtec (or F1) is low torque-high accel. You gotta watch the EngineeringExplained channel to get the right facts.

[@kickyadick]

Glad you mentioned the price in China. Gotta love the government taking away over half of what you pay.

[@Olph1]

Awesome

[@biggiebiggiee]

Who else is still buffering?

[@andrewrayuga6774]

W12 is a beast motor

[@ellomirza]

Enough games! Where is the launch control video? SHOW ME THE MONEEEEEEEY!

[@wassha09]

If I was uberly rich I would buy this car and the Mercedes G-Class SUV for sure.

[@Carphile]

yeah the continental gt is a sports car

[@robroyfawcett6842]

How was the driving experience in China?

[@Bmwx5fan9]

That window thing has been in BMW 7 series since 02 let's not get all hyped about it

[@svg571]

i do like THIS BENTLEY, elegance

[@kisseryeap]

nice review, but it actually cost more than half mil at China.

[@yunior12]

What a car!

[@JxTPB]

silver with the chrome wheels.. wow

[@regularguy316]

Chinese driver in a 200mph $200k car. That's all we need.

[@ellomirza]

That's a lot of premium plastic in the center console, on the back of the mirror and the signal stalk. Not cheap plastic like in a Kia but premium Bentley plastic. I like my luxury cars just full of little plastic buttons. That's luxury.

[@TFLcar]

Tomorrow

[@ProLeopardx1]

Holy shit how did you get that?!

[@GeoZeppelin1979]

right with u on that one :D

[@doubletapproductions]

Electric sun shades? I have had that since 2008 in our S class!

[@widebodyjohn1135]

Hater😂

[@fartman10284]

Is it 2x as good as a VW Phaeton?

[@TheGel69]

the continental GT a sport car? that 's right, and the lotus seven is a cruiser

[@Sirkelsag666]

gotta admit bently knows their shit!

[@kodycong]

there're a lot of rich people going to buy luxury cars even the price is labeled higher. auto manufacturers make more money in China. and the price include tax for luxury car.

[@xxxnagisugar]

The luxury price in China is more expensive than United States,because of the tax
