2018 Bentley Flying Spur - Driving The 500hp Modern Day Phaeton (POV Binaural Audio) 

HAPPY 2022!! HAVE FUN

Or u could by a 2005 bentley continental flying spur for like 44k

​@@starsaber2002 yeah right, because spending 10k is the same as spending 44k. 👌

@@y4nnickschmitt or if u want a bentley not close to a bentley

@@starsaber2002 He wants a Phaeton to have the Bentley experience on a Budget. Suggesting something 4 times as expensive makes no sense

But you'll have Bentley maintenance costs!

HE MUST TRY IT FOR US!!! I demand it!! Lol

Why is it “almost”? Probably because it’s a luxury sedan from VW of all brands.

I like the manual gauges, personally I see the full LED screen gauges as another part that'll break and cost a ton to fix, but I think infotainment really needs an update, the screen looks the same as the old screens with the terrible touch screen that takes years to respond. Definitely needs a few updates to it especially for the price you're paying in comparison to other manufacturers

I love the led strips tbh

I feel you on that. As someone who has a deep disdain for the modern trend of plastering every vehicle in screens, I was kind of shocked to see how dated the interior of this thing is. I appreciate the attempt to keep things analogue and classic but it screams 2006 as you pointed out. It would certainly benefit from some modern appointments without going overboard.

@@MK4vDubbin It did get updated. This is the 2018 model, the current gen has a much more updated and attractive interior

The new flying spur has all that this is a 2018

Happy New year!!!

even V8 is expensive to maintain lol.. but I live in Europe so maybe in US it's different

@@bayharborbutcher8132 every Bentley is expensive to maintain..

Ready? This Car is actually 2" Wider than the Mulsanne. Which makes it Ideal for cutting through that Everyday Traffic and those inconsiderate Double Parked Assholes !

That’s because it’s not a Rolls Royce, it’s a Bentley.

@@bartwatts1921 no duh

Uses 4.0T from Audi which is known for its reliability. And great mpg.

Thinking about buying one, what don’t you like about them?

@@PatKaz98 You shouldn't complain if you have one, but the gas mileage is poor to say the least. It is built like a freight train and everything is very solid and heavy, which I like. Also if possible, find one that has the NAIM audio system. Our Bentley convertible has it but the Flying Spur does not. Big difference in sound quality. You will get more attention driving a Bentley.

Well a friend of mine has a pre-facelift W222 S500L with the 4.7 V8 Bi-Turbo engine and 7G Tronic transmission it is ridiculously comfortable with the massaging heated and cooled rear seats, and rear-seat entertainment, the ride is really good but it's not a sports car in any shape or form, from the lights it starts in 2nd gear instead of first, the engine is good, really smooth with 457hp and 700nm of torque, but compared to an Audi S7 with "only" 450hp and 550nm it gets beat even without launch control that the S7 has, what I'm trying to say is the Audi 4.0 tfsi platform is quite a bit more sporty especially with the 7-speed S-Tronic double-clutch transmission, I've never driven a Bentley but I think if you're going for sportiness in that class go for the Audi S8 or S7 if you want pure comfort the Mercedes and for a strange yet exclusive feeling mix of the two the Bentley.

Still no snow yet this season

Happy new year!

Check out the new flying spur for 2020 and onward.

It was pretty direct

I to have owned a 1994 Brooklands and now own a 1991 Mulsanne S, and like Bentley always said, "Horsepower is sufficient. " So like Tedward said, the v8 is enough and more reliable and less fuel guzzling, because it is a car you don't buy for mileage.

kinda. i think all the smaller manufacturers are being swallowed up by the BIG groups. VW, Ford, GM, FIAT etc all own the smaller guys. Makes sense really. I have no issue with it as it gives them $$$ and freedom to do what they do best..

he does. He is not Brian Shaw or Eddie Hall size.

I was legit being sarcastic and making fun of it. that should have done the opposite of lose you.

Appreciate the support!
