Bentley Flying Spur vs Iceland: can you run a £155k luxury car on water, straw and volcanos?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The irony of taking a big, purple £155k Bentley Flying Spur Hybrid to Iceland to talk about the environment isn’t lost on us. But there is a point to be made. As Top Gear Magazine’s Ollie Marriage tries to demonstrate by crossing Iceland in a luxury car by using nothing more than water, straw and volcanos to power it.

    I've never seen a Top Gear video where there were so many good shots worthy of a screenshot for a wallpaper. Iceland is beautiful and the cameraman just NAILED it. The only other place close enough in beauty was when the original trio went to Argentina.

    Yes beautiful colors. Stunning landscapes. Bentley colors go from blue to purple, with all kind of shades in between. In that matter, the car color is inconsistent throughout the video. That makes it a little confusing, on which exact color this car is, and how it really looks on the road. So beautiful shots but does not help to choose the right color for personal Bentley.

    As usual BBC have stunning filming.... But not too sure how the 28mpg is calculated? As 80 litres would have been sufficient fuel for the journey. However, who drives a Bentley for its mpg figures? As a Hybrid, I think it is just a temporary stop-gap. Bentley should have gone further on the EV side.

Surprised you didn't try their Volcano fuel made from CO2, in Iceland (Volcanol?). Production record is 240 mpg for a hybrid...
