Three months ago, Zack and Matt called the Bentley GT Speed the "best car ever made," which was based on a number of factors: quality, materials, performance, dynamics, and ride. Obviously. at $300,000+, it's not the value proposition, but nothing labeled "best ever" really is. But we'd argue that the four-door Flying Spur Speed is actually even better. Sharing the same underpinnings but with more usable rear seat and trunk room and arguably even prettier styling, the Flying Spur Speed reminds us that whether you choose to ride or drive, this is essentially the best vehicle ever built.
Bentley provided the vehicle, insurance, and a tank of fuel for this review.

“Buttons and gauges and knobs are the luxury option now that we know how cheap screens are!” Absolutely brilliant, Matt. Correctamundo, sir.

My 2018 Mazda 3 GT hatch has a turning radius of just under 35 feet. 36'3" for this beast of a car is OUTSTANDING. You can really see the 4 wheel steer at work when you're turning at low speeds in a tight U-turn like that.

You don’t have to be perpetrating “crimes against humanity” to become rich; you provide something humanity desires and exchanges their money for it, and do so better than the competition. You don’t have to “justify” your expenditure to anyone. After paying your societal obligations through taxes imposed by your society you “owe” strangers absolutely nothing. Spend your legally obtained post-tax money any way you want. If you become fabulously wealthy Matt I’d be willing to bet you will spend your money on anything and everything you want and being “progressive” will sprinkle a tiny fraction around so you can loudly virtue signal how great you are. Progressive ideology is a dish made of arrogance, ignorance, and seasoned with hypocrisy.

Love the interior of the Bentley and the reasonable screens, this is why I went the Panamera route verses BMW or Mercedes. The Panamera dash and front layout is similar to the Bentley. Obviously the Bentley would be ideal, but unfortunately my current bank account status does not align with my taste in cars. With that said, I completely love the Panamera.
