( www.TFLcar.com ) The brand new 2014 Bentley Flying Spur is a tidal wave of luxury torque...at least that's what Bentley will tell you. In this first drive review, we travel all the way to China to drive and review Bentley's newest luxury creation. Why China? Because it is where Bentley says will sell to the new generation of wealthy Chinese looking for the ultimate luxury performance ride. So how does over 616 horsepower feel in the People's Republic of China. You'll have to watch as Roman get's to tick of an item from his bucket list by driving the newest and most powerful sedan ever made from Beijing to the great wall of China.

Thanks for the kind words. Very much appreciated it. This was a really trip cool but crazy long way to go for a car review. We're grateful that you watch.

@TFLcar 11 лет назад

You are most welcome. Thanks for the great comment.

@carmcarm8230 2 года назад

Good review but you should have done a bit of more of research, specially in China 95% of the owners drive their own car, even Rolls Royce.

Why couldn't the Jaguar XJ go in this design direction instead of what they've done to the current XJ. British cars always looked so elegant and stately with the dual headlights & big grill.

@TFLcar 11 лет назад

Hi Matt, thanks for the kind words about our video. We really appreciate it. BTW: On the tubes our videos get viewed 5 million times per month. That dwarfs the subscription of most, if not all, car magazine. That's pretty big in our humble opinion. Thanks for watching.

@IKhanNot 11 лет назад

How is the electric sunshade innovative? It was on an BMW 7 Series E65/66 a long time ago.

@TFLcar 11 лет назад

You are most welcome. Thanks for the kind words and nice comments.

Looks better than a Rolls Royce Ghost. This is my next dream ultra luxury sedan.

Just bought myself a beautiful Silver 2012 Range Rover HSE(no prev. owner). Great review, this car is next after the Wraith (ordered). So many good looking cars out there.

@IKhanNot 11 лет назад

Yeah the S Class is perfection for a little over $100k. It's brick shithouse solid, very well equipped, elegant, comfortable, quiet, refined, fast and it's actually athletic especially with the ABC component of the airmatic suspension. This Bentley is simply a status symbol, the S Class actually represents value when you come to think of it.

Had both bentley is better

@PeterYogi 11 лет назад

@TheFastLaneCar I think you guys should invest in some dental work :) It would bring many more viewers. White smile just makes it happen :) I LOOOVE your reviews and I watch them EVERY DAY!

@watuwantt 11 лет назад

I like how you're really humble it compares with other car reviewers that reviews bentleys, RRs, etc. Thanks for making these videos I love watching these for fun

@2011blueman 10 лет назад

China doesn't allow international driver's license? That's bullshit.

@scratcherclaw587 9 лет назад

thats not bullshit. thats true

@2011blueman 9 лет назад

MegaromeHD You misread my comment. I wasn't questioning the truth of the statement, I was saying that it is horrible that China doesn't accept international driver licenses, i.e. it's bullshit!

@namphan5130 8 лет назад

+Leggo My Ego Well, because in order to drive in China, you need special skills that nowhere can provide except China

@2011blueman 8 лет назад

Nam Phan LOL.

@drewscott6013 8 лет назад

+Nam Phan What skill do you need Nam? Is it really hard to drive there?

@2002C5Vette 11 лет назад

I was hoping you were gonna show the license! Roman you do a fantastic job! Love this channel, and its awesome that you get flown out to drive these amazing cars! Keep up the good work.

@widebodyjohn1135 Год назад

None of your sclass bmw not going 200mph stock 4.3 secs 0-60 had this same model and a few s class benzs bentley rides and looks better its a rare car s class all over the place shifter looks cheap feels cheaper but besides that its an sclass killer😂

@DutchManticore 11 лет назад

yes, and Lexus is an expensive Toyota. And Porsche is an expensive VW Beetle. And Rolls Royce is an expensive 7-series. And Audi A3 is an expensive Seat Leon. You can bitch all you want, almost every carmaker is owned by a larger company in todays world. A lot of parts are used for different models and brands. No point in saying this is an expensive A8, or any of the above examples.

@jamesdavies6120 11 лет назад

Yknow Britain County is also home to the Downton (London) Clevelanders means home team in Ultimate Supreme Football, The Downton Swiss Patriots in MLBaseball, The Trex a griffen, and Nationals in basketball. Sterling (Edinbrough) has the Wrecks in basketball. York (Dublin) Metros in USFL, Yorkies in MLBaseball, and Parts Unkown in hockey. While Stacy (Belfast) has the Parklane in basketball.

@UnIngerPierdut 11 лет назад

Hy Mr Roman. Great videos,thumbs up for them ! I have a question...is there a chance that you will do a review of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz G 350 ? or the G 63 AMG ? I've watched a few reviews on that car and not one was helpfull and concludent for me. If you have time,please give me a reply. Thank you and best wishes !

@stefanofranco 11 лет назад

Will Bentley's effort to make this car less "two-door oriented" (aka: "not as sporty" and "more luxurious") cause it to cannibalize sales of similar Rolls Royce offerings? Thanks for the beautiful video of a pretty car in that exotic environment, Roman! Am appreciating your and Nathan's long-distance trips just to get shots of these new cars to us/your viewers first!!

@max19731978 11 лет назад

nah, thats a lie. Torque gives you the initial thrust at low rpm, HP is what gives you the accel at higher rpm. HP is roughtly torque times rpm. Diesel is high torque-low accel, vtec (or F1) is low torque-high accel. You gotta watch the EngineeringExplained channel to get the right facts.

@brooksycc7 11 лет назад

So Bentley flew you to China? What connections do you guys have to be able to test all these cars and have people fly you places? I love your videos, but here on the tubes you guys don't seem to have a huge viewer base, so just wondering.

@ellomirza 11 лет назад

That's a lot of premium plastic in the center console, on the back of the mirror and the signal stalk. Not cheap plastic like in a Kia but premium Bentley plastic. I like my luxury cars just full of little plastic buttons. That's luxury.

@yelp1000 11 лет назад

Nice car but in the end its metal, glass, wood, leather and plastic just like every other lux mobile. If you can't afford this but can afford an A8 or the new S class you're about 95% of the way there.

@senorkaboom 11 лет назад

Of all the cars made in the world, this car is definitely one l would not buy, even if l could. I would rather have an Aston Martin. And, who really needs a refrigerator in their car?

@Abashiri76 11 лет назад

TWENTY FOURTEEN! nice new English! for annual language OMFG and i feel sorry for you if you do not even have Chinese language yet over there some words there matter to me personally

@kevinmsft 11 лет назад

Congrats on the huge viewership. Just to be fair, the car magazines' RU-vid channels also get huge numbers. That's just how Internet and RU-vid work since it's more accessible and free.

@poolearmor 11 лет назад

this is just dumb..... so every car that they test drive in the US are build in US ?? in the video they clearly said that they sell more Bentley Flying Spur in China last yea than in US

@kodycong 11 лет назад

there're a lot of rich people going to buy luxury cars even the price is labeled higher. auto manufacturers make more money in China. and the price include tax for luxury car.

@lefuedebout 11 лет назад

Love the car but can not stand the " machine turned metal " dash and door caps. Who the hell wants industrial grade bare metal in their expensive lux car? Not me!

@SSSandhu13 11 лет назад

Its because Bentley wants it like that, and I would say its pretty cool to visit a country like China. not people that many people can say they went to China.

@LaoK8710 11 лет назад

holy lolzzz Bentley really have someone can handle the traffic department in China. lolz It is even hard for chinese to get their driver license nowadays

@TheZillafire 11 лет назад

I have used the phrase, "wo bu hua ingwen" and shown my License issued by Taiwan before. Sadly, being a big white dude, it doesn't work. Good luck!

@MrKevinsense 11 лет назад

Oh, "real metallic" you say? Why did anyone fly this guy out to China to drive a Bentley? He isn't very good at describing cars.

@ParrotsandPotatoes 11 лет назад

That shifter gate looks incredibly cheap! It's like they took it out of one of Volkswagen's compact cars! And wô bù shuō yīng wén

@Bmwx5fan9 11 лет назад

All of this stuff infact has been on other cars why get all excited the Maybach fridge can hold more than 2 wine bottles

@klukash 11 лет назад

if you have a good eye its easy to see that Bentley is part of volkswagen group cause you can see a lot of parts from vw

@weirdshibainu 11 лет назад

Roman, what was the speed limits in China? Was the drivers area roomy? Looks like there's not much head room. Good review.

@vinceamato5481 11 лет назад

@whiteandnerdytuba 11 лет назад

Sexy title, until that Fiat 500 went by. I am glad to see each video seem to improve over time. Keep it going

@garyzong298 11 лет назад

The starting price for a flying spur in China is about 3.8 million yuan, which is about 0.6 million dollars.

@amillionjens 11 лет назад

9:40 lol I have never seen anyone happier test driving a car. That clip should be on a Bentley commercial.

If I pay half a million for a luxury sedan with about 600hp and 500ft/lb I'm driving that thing myself

@gkoknok6076 11 лет назад

Bentley, a British company owned by Germans flew an American to China to test their car? Strange.

@GtstangLv 10 лет назад

Excuse me, but that's not rowing the gears yourself.

@ranurbmx1 11 лет назад

yeah right.. Everybody now have enough money in china to buy a bentley.. Soo bullshit...

@ramonj08 11 лет назад

I see Audi A8L all over this car. Looks great, but I can only see it as a 200k Audi A8.

Everything comming out of China is cheap, everything commin into China is expensive.

@Bmwx5fan9 11 лет назад

That window thing has been in BMW 7 series since 02 let's not get all hyped about it

@dariocp87 11 лет назад

this is the 2nd review i've seen about this car and in CHINA.. I don't like this..

@wassha09 11 лет назад

If I was uberly rich I would buy this car and the Mercedes G-Class SUV for sure.

@TheGel69 11 лет назад

the continental GT a sport car? that 's right, and the lotus seven is a cruiser

@Ahsonloh1213 11 лет назад

Sry how much is it gonna cause in the US agn ? Didn't catch what he was saying .

@Mamo878 11 лет назад

The Continental GT is a not a sports car. It's a, well, GT car. Go figure.

@southbeach09 11 лет назад

Not a huge fan of the rear, it almost feels like Bentley designers gave up.

@prosincr 11 лет назад

Yeah, honestly, the only one i've seen that is manual is the xj basic model.

@76carmel 11 лет назад

You know who should buy this -- the guy in China who damaged his Maserati.

@ellomirza 11 лет назад

Enough games! Where is the launch control video? SHOW ME THE MONEEEEEEEY!

@zify89 11 лет назад

Not forgetting that the Rolls Royce Ghost is an expensive 7-Series too!

@Jflux69 11 лет назад

Just goes to show, 200,000 and still covered by plastic under the hood.

Do you think the target audience of such cars ever watches youtube ?

@justjacqueline2004 11 лет назад

Beautiful car and a really gorgeous country,lucky to be in China.

@majorglenn 10 лет назад

WTF with the paddles? This car got more torque as an Saturn 5 rocket. So, it Looks verrry cheap and it is senseless.

@RomainSandt 5 лет назад

Drove one, far from cheap feeling. Only bad thing... If you drove Audis and VWs... you see and touch too much similar things. Drives like a big Audi too, wich isn't a bad thing.

@theRussians1918 11 лет назад

bucket list? where do you go from this? keep up the good work

@Tednessful 11 лет назад

Great car but too bad its FWD architecture doesn't allow for the sleek and elegant stance we see on RWD-based cars such as S-Class, Quattroporte, RR Ghost, etc.

@bfuller5577 10 лет назад

Um this car is RWD

@Tednessful 10 лет назад

No it is not. It is AWD based on FWD VW Phaeton hence the short hood and axis to dash ratio.

@imabean4903 6 лет назад

VW phaeton is RWD as well lol.

@robroyfawcett6842 11 лет назад

How was the driving experience in China?

@brooksycc7 11 лет назад

That is very impressive. Is that 5 million unique viewers or numerous repeats of the same subscribers on different videos? I'm just curious to see as a comparison if I were looking to start a sort of online presence in another subject, because what you guys do is pretty amazing.
