Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 09. 2023
- The 2024 Bentley Flying Spur Speed ($322,595 as specced in the US) is a large luxury sedan with a nearly unbelievable 333 km/h (207 mph) top speed. A ferocious 6.0L twin-turbo W12 sits under the hood and the suspension is aided by a dynamic anti-roll system. It also has a highly customizable and luscious interior, making the Flying Spur Speed seem to be the perfect on-paper GT car. But does it live up to its expectations? And is it more than a comfortable top-speed machine? Thomas and James are eager to find out! We hope you enjoy the episode. SUBSCRIBE!

#Bentley #FlyingSpurSpeed #W12
I was shopping for one of these but the superior quality of a low miles 2008 accord was just too much to ignore.
I'm literally driving in an 08' Accord. Four door. It's the V6 but I don't want to brag.
you should get new glasses....................
@@rjkka7260 You should get a new sense of humour
My friend let me use her 2010 Honda Accord SE when I was visiting her. It's a car that does nothing great, but does a lot of things good as is the purpose of a car. Sensible would best describe it.
Vtec tho
You know you’ve made it as a car journalist when a Bentley video is posted on your 2nd CZcams channel. Kudos throttle house!
not even the first Bentley on this second channel
They did an aventador, so idk.
It's like ther're trying to get something across@@ii_dynasty
Yea typically the bentley get priority, and never "second string anything".
@@Pierre-gu5vx John 14:6 I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Chasing a McLaren with a Bentley… you guys really really made it as a proper car reviewing channel, so awesome!
they are top tier CZcamsrs!
Yes Yes. .. Now they can finally make an episode with an '88 Fiero GT and a BRZ. Old vs new affordable sports cars.
‘Shut up, your mom’s Bentley is a lease’
Leasing is the only way to own a new Bentley... Considering they deprecate like a bookshelf falling down a staircase.
Although, this final edition W12 might be a little less painful.
bro where is this quote from. I've had it in my mind for years and I can't remember where I heard it
@@wrth it’s from their video comparing the old rolls to a new one
Lease or no lease, but for me (maybe I'm getting old) 2008 Bentley Azure IS what Bentley is about - pure representation of "rolls-royce for a driver" spirit
Same comfort, luxury, confidence, and indescribable pleasure of driving
It is literally an yacht, you sail it “above it all”, and it looks fantastic
This one looks pretty much like any other expensive sedan (no offense, just my personal opinion)
I just wish Bentley made the engine…as an owner and on my tenth Bentley Turbo R - the quality and craftsmanship of the SZ will be missed.
Its easily one of the best looking sedans available today! And then the interior detail and craftsmanship. Id take this over a RR any day.
Definitely a good looking luxury vehicle.

@@llMarvelous Don't think "any another expensive sedan" is quite fair but I'm with you about the Azure. To me that would be Arnage R, a proper gangster mobile.
@@llMarvelousI'm taking the Mulsanne Speed then
ANY DAY over RR.
What a coincidence. I was actually considering trading in my 06 Mazda for this Bentley today. After watching this review i'm convinced.
Wait five years, when it's worth 20% of it's current new car price. . .
@@perryelyod4870 yeah and you pay 80% in repairs in the next 5 years.
@@Pierre-gu5vxmohammed already in hell...😎
@@perryelyod4870who keeps car for 5 years, that’s so long
The real top trim of the Chrysler 300c
No. That would be the Rolls Royce Ghost Black Badge.
Bruh
See them next to each other and that impression goes straight out the window. The 300c WISHES it had the presenec and class of the Bentley, lol
STHU
Ouch!
For anybody thet doesn't know, these two have another channel called "throttle house" but this one has higher production value (hence the "extra" in the name).
Oh, you’re just sour they didn’t mention it for the thousandth time in their “Extra” intros. Yeah, that got old, eh
@@g.r.2985 I think you missed the joke there.
@@g.r.2985 Incoming on the next "extra" video... You can thank me later.
@@Pierre-gu5vx why would I want to be the servant of that asshole Allah?
This was honestly so well produced considering the cameras used. Really top notch, great video!
What's with the cameras?
Nah, a lot of the shots at the beginning were lame, while they were talking about the color of the thing, and walking around it. Anyone with an iPhone, a stick, and a piece of duct tape could shoot the same thing. I can't believe you commented that it was good, or that anyone likes your comment.
Ok for anyone confused about the engine, the W12 is “2 sixes stitched together” but still in a “V” architecture with 2 banks of cylinders versus 3. However, the cylinder layout is the same as a VR6 where each cylinder is offset by ~15° versus being directly inline as with a normal v12. Just google VW W12 engine head to see images.
Thanks professor, 😂
Just like the Bugatti W16
Oh yeah, crystal clear. It's two vr6s joined by a common crank. It looks like a w. Ish.
Thanks for the info!
@@g.r.2985 my office hours are Fridays at 4:00-4:01 PM EST
Brett and James dropping another great video!
That is one of the most beautifully proportioned sedans EVER. I love it.
I love the honesty of TH. They are not afraid of hurting manufacturers feeling.
Best car reviews from 2 guys i could watch all day thanks for all the fun and very knowledgeable videos
Ateast the valet is doing his job and protecting the car and not just giving it away lol
That color is beautiful!
That center piece with the 3 dials is nice. So much better than a big screen.
I love Love LOVE that interior! That's how modern 'lugxury' (James May voice) should be done. Beautiful craftsmanship, excellent materials, stunning design but still has modern tech. Notice how well everything is integrated? And buttons and knobs, oh my!
The great thing about Bentley's are that each of their models has a wide range, you have the Speed and S with firmer and harsher suspension, but with more speed and handling benefits, or you can get the Azure and Mulliner models for much more comfort and smoothness.
The turned metal on the dashboard is just gorgeous.
Wow this one is huge - I like the interior, the design is .....good - would never drive it over here too big
3:26. Good comparison. The term in watchmaking is perlage. It’s done with a small tool, by hand on high end watches like Patek or Vacheron
Absolutely stunning, Bentley just make spectacular cars!
Thanks Brett 👌
Awesome review guys, you almost made me think this could be practical driving around 😂
I LOVE riding/driving Bentley's... what a car!!
Honestly good on Bret for becoming a successful car reviewer after his wrestling career
Imagine getting a Bentley and being unimpressed enough to just do a “quick review”
Exactly what I was thinking lol
Fort that money..... Seems like it needs to be more impressive.
dont be fooled this car is amazing and it goes 0-60 in three seconds.
it just doesnt give you the exhilaration that you might die like in other sports cars.
@@salvationbygracethroughfaith "nicer" is a stretch. it's just got a boat load of ambient lighting and cheap displays
i've sat in both, the Bentley is extremely hard and durable inside. S Class is not as high-quality. Simple@@salvationbygracethroughfaith
Thomas' small seizure while trying to think of "Flying Spur" at the end of the video was pure gold.
Thanks James and Brett
Go to the settings and unleash the Naim sound system. It is really that amazing. I don't know what brand is their standard sound speakers but the next step is Bang and Olufsen then top of the range is Naim. It's amazing!
The word for your Patek Philippe analogy on the dash etching is Guillioche
I think he was confusing the back of the watch/ front of the movement where they do the Perlage, with the front of the face where the Guilloche is done with a special engine tool. Perlage is also called " Engine-turning" or "Jewelling". That Dashboard was definitely Guilloche. Well said.
@@scottcrawford3745 Good show! Perlage is a rounded scalloped design, which we also see auto makers using in interiors, though I'm not sure it's really machined. If it is...well, wow. 🙂
Nice video keep up the good work fellas
Bentley is a driving car and RR is to be driven in. I don't need anyone to drive me around except maybe my daughter. I absolutely love the Flying Spur and have loved it for years
The prettiest color combo I've seen on a Bentley
It's simply GORGEOUS
Thomas the "Patek movement" finishing is called perlage!
Loved the ending, as always! 😅
$300k and at 1:30 check out whatever is hanging off the bottom!
A piece of peasant ?
Probably an air deflector. For either brake cooling or fuel efficiency.
GORGEOUS Green Bentley Love the tail lights from the previous years Bentley's !!!
9:34 literally me at the same time 😂😂😂. That was good.
Lord Vader, your Bentley has arrived.
And they explode real nice too. Lots of fire. Very impressive.
This cars front end with its crystal lights just dropped my jaw. This is the most beautiful ride ever.
Wow - can really see the influence Luke Dokenwold had coming from Bentley to Genesis. My G70 has the same turned aluminum interior on the doors, same exhaust tips.. dials are in the GV70/GV80..
Carstons job sounds amazing!
That color scheme is beautiful 😍
Asking for Thomas to do a watch video! Nice patek shout out
Regarding that color, i remember about 10 years ago, i was looking at a Jeep Grand Cherokee, and they key tag said it was green, but looking at it--black. I was so confused. Then the sun came out behind the clouds and the green fleck sparkled.
Recording a McLaren with a camera mounted on a Bentley through a canyon road in California. Man! That's some life behind the lens. :)
I love it. It just looks so damn good. I also like the interior A LOT (not that color scheme)
Wish I had the money to own one of these. I love bentley so much
Love the Lancia Delta t-shirt!
Grear video, link the video reviews you discuss on screen or on description please. Thanks!
"THE BENTLEY WHAT?" had me dying🤣🤣🤣
Sick car, such a beauty
Nice video.
The ultimate autobahn cruiser!
Brett…. Yes, you Thomas are a Brett. Lol I see you grabbing for the handle every time James approaches those turn-ins 😉
Thomas: My name is Thomas.
Valet: Nice to meet you Brett.
They brought out Jason's mum's Bentley on to the channel.
@@Pierre-gu5vx sir this is a Wendy's
It looks nice ✨😊
Love the Lancia t-shirt 👍
A damn beauty!!!!! LOVE IT!
LOL!!! At 7:13 - Do you know how often I hear that "Oh my god," coming from my wife when I'm driving. Coming from Thomas though, who's driven very fast countless times, it's funny to hear you get nervous.
Love the hair Thomas
Would love to see the Flying Spur compared with a Mulsanne by you two.
James' t shirt is epic. Lancia Delta Integrale gauge cluster.
I was just scrolling through the comments to see if anyone else picked up on that!
Could you guys review 2020 Cadillac CT6 platinum with 4.2l
As they were talking about the Audi S8, I got an advert for Audi 😂
Same here
Not sure what is funny about AI algorithms collecting data and targeting people with ads. The data, including your profile details, are sold off to third parties for profit; this is how all of those "free" social media platforms (and websites) keep themselves running.
I like quickies.
such an incredible car!
What a sweet car - but it's hard to get used to something this heavy going so fast through corners I'd think.
One of the best looking sedans ever made, period.
@@Pierre-gu5vx sir, this is CZcams, not the airport. I decline the invitation.
Tomas has a tshirt with printed cluster of Lancia Delta Integrale this is SO COOL… real petrolheads will understand what I mean, that is a legend 💪
This one is gorgeous 😍
1:07 what is the thing hanging near the right front wheel?
Please do more videos for this channel! :)
What instrument cluster is on Thomas' t-shirt??? I was kinda thinking Delta Integrale but I am not sure....
Hey James where do I get the Lancia delta cluster shirt?
2020s best cars so far the Flying Spur, Jesko, Giulia
BMW, Mercedes, Ferrari lots of brands i tought would nick the best models but lacked behind design wise, never thought i would have a Bentley or Alfa Romeo on the top of my want to buy list among new cars
I have got a 1998 Continental R finished in Dark Emerald Green and you would swear it's black, or sometimes Blue and on occasions it's actually green.
That emerald beautiful asl
So cool that TH Comments are all about car stuff.
When my Australian newspaper reviews expensive cars it’s how many starving children that money could feed or why would someone not be happy with a Camry.
Thank goodness for TH Fans.
And yes Thomas, aka Brett, it’s fun to have the knowledge that our partners couldn’t care less about. 😂😂
Is Thomas wearing a limited edition Spinnaker Fleuss Storm Black watch?
Great video! BTW PLEASE be extra careful when you do a quick u-turn like that. A family friend was killed doing that, hit by oncoming car
So Naim is a sister company of focal and they are both premier audiophile companies. It’s surprising that the audio isn’t top notch here. Naim makes the amplifiers and electronics while focal makes the high end woofers. They must most have used focal woofers in this implementation.
@@Pierre-gu5vx I’m sorry I only worship Gozer the Gozerian as enlightened to us by his apostle vigo the carpathian. Through only Gozer can we hope to ascend. Go with Gozer
Nice t -shirt with lancia delta integrale dials
Is there plastic hanging down from the front left underbody???
Funny enough, I have the same problem with my Kia Forte-- the color, "Gravity Blue", only looks blue under direct sunlight. In a parking garage, or when it's cloudy out, it looks black!
What watch is Thomas wearing in this video?
That green leather is sweet!
I want one of these
Wow the interior is almost as nice as a Genesis interior!
The cutest couple ever!!!
God, what a gorgeous car.
Thomas is like "better hold on to the handrail, there is a 1% chance of this behemoth breaking traction and going down the cliff in this Canyon with James behind the wheel. 😂💀
Thomas has aged 12 years since the last post.....whats up with the grey beard
That shirt is 🔥🔥🔥....feelin the watch
How dare you expect us not to be looking to buy such car :D
Btw, Thomas, Is theese are a Lancia Integrale Instruments on your shirt?
Can you please do a manual C7 Z06 vs C8 Z06 new vs old love the content
