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

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 ! ! ! !

[@WT9999Z]

This is great! Thank you.

[@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?

[@USDM_Jesus]

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

[@BrandonWillis-kf5zm]

Perfect in every way

[@riptiide9285]

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

[@mr-is2bf]

Insane spec wow 👌

[@scottleyva8656]

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

[@cod4r]

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

[@legioner9]

Gorgeous looking car.

[@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.

[@nasosnasos8054]

LOVE

[@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.

[@naveednazer1239]

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

[@kemsplashmusiq745]

Looks good 👍

[@alengreen589]

looks very nice 👍

[@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

[@santinosonny4047]

[@lanemoore1178]

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

[@brandon4574]

Does that mean this is the highest trim for the spur ?

[@moonshadow8181]

Why is there a lag on the CarPlay

[@antongusev2673]

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

[@elchapoCOD]

[@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.

[@scottleyva8656]

Thanks!

[@MilesPerHr]

Thank you, Scott! Really appreciate the support 🙏

[@Royalorgans]

What's the name of the dealer who has this car

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

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

[@AJ_76421]

Milesperhr your chapter times are off. Just a heads up!

[@andrewholt3849]

My favourite car apart from Audi RSQ8. It is engineered by Porsche and is a Panermara Turbo S underneath.

[@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!

[@hovaanderson5975]

[@fanboy7_got7]

[@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.

[@cule2160]

who are they targeting with cars like this?

[@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.

[@andreasgoehler6592]

Cool Car

[@Ethan24000]

That’s a nice car

[@colinhoward74]

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 .

[@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

[@MansourAL...]

You have hidden everything that shows you are driving above the speed limit, except for the speedometer shown on the windshield 15:15

[@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.

[@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!

[@primeminister66]

Maybe one day when I grow up…

[@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!

Matthew 22 KJV 1-14 1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, 2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, 3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. 4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. 5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. 7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. 9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. 10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. 11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: 12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. 13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
