2021 Bentley Flying Spur V8 review - can you hustle it?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The Bentley Flying Spur is now here in V8 form. It's the entry-level Flying Spur, so it'll only set you back £154,000. Wait. Join me on a voyage of discovery as we find out whether it's fast, fun or just a lovely lump of furniture. Spoiler: it's my new lottery-win car.

    I was looking for something amusing as well as informative while dreaming about which Bentley I would buy if. . . and I found you, Tim. Lovely stuff. I like this presentation very much, your humour is my humour, I haven't heard 'scroat' in ages, it should be restored to the English language, and all in all, thank you.

    Thanks Stuart! Glad to have you onboard. I was checking Flying Spur prices on eBay earlier and sadly they've not fallen to my £2000 budget yet.

    I'd choose the V8 or wait for the PHEV model if I was in the market. The V8 saves 100kg compared to the W12 as well.

    Those holes on the rear seats is actually for the rear entertainment system, which is detachable. I'm a bit disappointed you don't know this.

    Bentley all day every day! Surprisingly easy to choose. The Ghost is still very much a wafty thing where the act of driving is still slightly removed. The Bentley can do hooning and wafting equally well.
