The 2023 Bentley Flying Spur Speed Is A 12-Cylinder Uber Luxury Sedan With Porsche DNA
In the world of executive Uber luxury sedans, the #BentleyFlyingSpur has always been the British choice for those who feel a Mercedes-Benz S-Class is simply too common. For the #FlyingSpurSpeed, #Bentley takes performance to a new level thanks to the company's signature 6.0L Twin-Turbo W12 engine. When the latest #FlyingSpur was introduced in 2020, Bentley went to Porsche and borrowed the MSB Platform from the latest #PorschePanamera. The result is a sporty and luxury sedan with performance that is worthy of the #Speed badge.

Happy almost Friday everyone! Please enjoy our very first Bentley review on the channel after all these years. We were genuinely shocked with how much we enjoyed DRIVING this vehicle and that is one of the main differences between a Rolls-Royce and Mercedes-Maybach. Those brands are better to be driven in, while enthusiasts will enjoy driving the Bentley. The W12 engine is also quite a masterpiece, it will be a sad day when Bentley discontinued production of this unique engine next April.

Fearing rising maintenance costs, I looked into a V8 Flying Spur, Mulliner , and I'm keeping my 20 yo Arnage! Too much tech and lots less car than my old 'beater'. I'll spend my money keeping my car pristine. Appreciate you review!
People can work their entire lives and still not save enough to buy one of these. It's truly a have and have not situation. Most of your viewers can't afford it, but always fun to dream.
Absolutely incredible automobile! Love the W12, scarf them up while you can. I love when a Bentley passes me. It’s not just a wealthy person, it’s a person that appreciates quality and attention to detail and I can relate and appreciate that.
The spec on this one is a bit weird but this sedan is so good. The Porsche dna combined with Bentley design and luxury, superb.

I love Bentley cars. I won't own one due to affordability, but I firmly believe that when Bentley changes to all electric, the sales of this brand will plummet. I'm an auto enthusiast and most people I speak to about electric cars don't want one.
You stand correct George, the MLB platform is shared with the Audi A4 B8, A5, A6, A7, A8, the Porsche Macan and others. While the Panamera and Continental/Flying Spur shares the MSB platform. I still believe the high center tunnel is the cause of little to no storage armrest room. Thanks for the correction.
That W12 engine really is something special and I’m sad to see it go next year~ it has a sound that is very unique to most 12 cylinder engines, and so hurry up if you want this engine in a Bentley, since who knows what’ll go in the next Continental GT Speed and in this Flying Spur Speed.

On the other hand, there is such a thing as the hydrogen engine. But as far as I know, VW has no plan to go that route.
Me as a Flying Spur owner to my neighbor, with my pinky finger raised: Can you believe I had to close my own door when I got in my car today? 😭. My neighbor in his Honda Accord: Yeah! Well, I do that every day 🙄.
I miss the mulsanne. That 6.75 v8 was basically dieseline. Gas powered, diesel torque
The Centre console doesn’t open because that’s where they have the rear A/C blower and control units.

You’re inspirational as fuck bro. Been watching you since the first 4Runner review.
The Driver doesn't need center console space, if you noticed the rear seat area has a center console with storage and usb connection. The idea is that the owner is not driving but controlling everything from the rear as you noted with the little mini remote system.

You’ll be pleased to know that is a very unusual interior colour combination. I built those interiors and I don’t ever remember seeing a second car like that…

This is such a gorgeous spec
It's missing an Aston-esque ferocity in its exhaust note. But I'm just nitpicking, this is one of the most handsome cars. The interior has real buttons and not an excessively large screen/s.
Love it. Its Classy and Nasty. Classy smooth ride and Nasty speed ❤.
There’s a 2011 VW CC that’s been dead in our service department for over a year, but when you lock the car it makes the same beep sound as this brand new Bentley
For the rated power, weight, 0-60, and top speed runs, I seriously believe that the power figures are well underrated. If this can go 207 but the more powerful, much lighter 797 hp redeye hellcat can only top out on 203 mph, it just doesn't add up

13:45 the rotating screen option “adds the little wow factor to your Bentley”. As if owning a Bentley isn’t enough of a wow factor.
sweet car all around… twin turbo W12 with a dual clutch is pretty awesome 😎… only negative i thought was no wireless carplay on a car this price 😢
Understated as it should be -- no; the "Bentley" script at the rear is precisely right-sized, not too small. I agree as to the "too much brown" comment, but Europeans tend to wear brown suits and shoes, which Americans do not favor. Different style/taste. As compared to RR, Bentley has always been higher performance and "understated luxury," favored by the British Royal Family. This is a gorgeous high performance car. Way outside of my aspirational limits, of course! :)
Finally you reviewed this beast
Beautiful car also I believe speaker system is pronounced Naim (name)
Dang, the gopro XD itself halfway thru the W12 experience.
Volkswagen HAVEN’T always had Bentley. In fact they've only owned the Marque since 1998. They only own it but the car is still designed and built in England

Since the Audi A8, the Porsche Panamera and the Bentley are all based on the same chassis, their center armrests are all very shallow, small or don’t open at all. My guess is that because of the design of the chassis incorporating a huge center tunnel, very little room is left over for a large center armrest.

I’d *immediately* venture to say that is probably the best-looking vehicle this year imo, and the blacked out accents make it even more so. 🔥
Even if I had Rolls Royce Phantom money I'd still take the Bentley W12 speed. I'm a Mercedes fan thru and thru but Maybach doesn't appeal to me personally for some strange reason. I like the older models better. With that being said I really love the Continental GT as well as the Flying Spur. Masterpiece of a car

Beautiful craftsmanship and interior, but exterior design and tech is really showing its age. That width would make it impossible to navigate through modern day traffic and parking spaces. Definitely a chauffeured car.
In my personal opinion, the Maybach and Rolls Royce interiors do NOT compare to the Bentley. Bentley’s interior design is the best. RR has beautiful elements that don’t fully mesh together and Maybach tries too hard and is a bit blingy.
