New W12 Bentley Flying Spur is a 207mph, 626bhp limo. Full on-road review

welcome to a new video from Harry's Garage today's car is this the Bentley Flying Spur this is its latest four-door, five-seater car maximum expression of Bentley 207 miles per hour and five point three meters along a large number of Bentley to discuss here and this has been somewhat behind the new Continental GT that was launched in 2018, this is shaken up and is a radical change from what came before. I can't wait to get into the details of the calculation. So many things have changed that I was looking for everywhere. The kind of press information about this car I couldn't find, but even that here we are are the leather line documents and I can tell you that this car is listed at one hundred and sixty-eight thousand three hundred pounds, as you can assume the press is. . cars, some extras etc, but yeah, I can't wait to get the details, there's a lot of technology to get through in this car, so let's go and take a closer look, this particular car actually looks quite distinctive, it has the black lines spec, so That's what you think, this black grille, this illuminated Flying V here appears when you unlock the car and the black line goes up to the maximum silver color of this color and I think it shows the car very well.

The 21-inch wheels come on these huge, fantastic brakes. the same we saw the continuity, there is a lot to stop here p0 tars because it is obviously worth 207 barn capacity and 8.2 seconds to 100 is what was claimed, there is a lot of performance there, so they are distinctive performance tires like that star lies B Furthermore , that vent on the front is actually very good, it's so big and they have these amazing super shaped iminium panels on this, but this crease is very distinctive, I mean the lights really show up here, a little bit of a let down on the part rear.

I guess it has echoes of the previous generation Conti GT, no spoiler or anything, and then these black finished exhausts here, oh boy the source can hardly be seen and I just look like part of the tree, yeah, quite a distinctive car , people comment on its design. just lift it up, there we go, the w12, so this is a six liter engine, these sets of sixes and six banks of sixes, your w12 configuration is unique now to Bentley and it makes six hundred and twenty six horsepower, all kinds of technology. there is deactivation of cultivable cam cylinders, etc.

What really impresses me is the turbo engine and its ten point five to one compression ratio which in the old school simply couldn't be matched with a turbocharged car with such a high compression ratio, but Bentleys are very smart and have achieved other things to know here is this huge aluminum strut that joins the two parts of the suspension. I noticed that you can't, I can't remove it, but you can see the wheel down there, it's quite noticeable how it must have to vent a lot of hot air out of the engine compartment and it kind of does it to the side.

Very impressive, they managed to get it further back on the chassis of this setup as well and a lot of things that are aluminum so I've been around my magnet trying to figure out what aluminum is and for the most part most of the exterior panels are On this car, just one thing to note: it's a huge grille expanse. A little disappointed, it's all plastic, it doesn't look like a Bentley at all. Cockin, I remember previous generations of Bentleys, this would have been metal, where it's something that crashes or something, I don't know, but it seems a bit LD to me instead of Bentley, so come here, another thing to note and then menu I.

I wanted to know how much of these cars are iminium and if you open right, if you look here, this is all Adam on this panel and you look at how the doors are reduced, the actual window area, it's one of the things when you use an iminium. You have to use more, so this is the actual structure it's aluminum and if you look inside you suddenly see where the seat went, the driver's seat is like hidden towards the back, if you look to the other side, there is the B pillar It's actually part of the interior, you usually don't notice it, but how small the doors are and how huge these b-pillars are, they are absolutely huge and that's something that happens with aluminum cars, you basically need more volume to comply. accident legislation and It reduces the amount of space you can get into the car and also makes the pillars very large, as we will see when we are on the

road

, as I said before, I am such a professional that there is no rear spoiler on a 207 car ma now.

There is no arrow at all here, it is a very slippery tent, CD factor 0.29, huge boots, as you imagine, there is also an equally large battery down here, sorry, no spare wheel or a ski cap in case of that you're doing that kind of thing. There you have 5.3 meters of Bentley, which is a hundred thousand longer than the long-wheelbase Range Rover, a lot of car. I weighed it and it came out, I think it weighs 5,000 pounds, which is a little bit lighter than the Bentley. I think they quote 437 kilos, but they use an EU weight that includes 90% fuel and 75 kilos for the driver, so although it is a huge car due to the use of aluminum, it is somewhat lighter than what they you would expect and it is a little heavier. 100 kilos heavier than the T amount, but anyway, what I'm going to do now is take it outside to show you the inside and then take it for a spin, don't worry, at this point I'll just jump in and drive. off but I want to show you the back seat because the receiver on this Bentley is a little bit special first of all I'm going to start the engine because you know everything works or go to the back now the first thing you should notice take a look at the size of the back door towards the front then the back door is a huge amount of space it's very easy to get in and out and it's quite luxurious that's my sitting position there's miles of space as you get you get a little something. here to adjust you can control the sound etc. and the temperature, your seat controls are here, this is the five-seat motion seat, so a little strangely, Paul is meant to sit in the middle seat position, which is not as luxurious like where I am, but I'm going to put this down and then I get what's kind of normal with a little bit of support, put the champagne fruits in there, whatever and then this, this seat does all I can recline, the headrest goes up. , it has a vent. the door here, beautiful metal controls down here, we see all this Milnes stuff happening here, very nice place to sit and ridiculously plush headrests there, which are a pillow like other things, just to know, on this one in particular, I have a glass roof.

I have I have this also final mirror Superior corrections of what I have there I think that puts the blind up there and in the final we just look at this window obviously it's open right now if I do it touch this button. I love how you got these two blinds to work like this. Two are completely blacked out in the actual compartment, so there you have it. It's a very nice place to sit in the back of this Bentley, but the reason I'm going to deal with it now is what happens in the front very different from the front it feels much more closed is just because of that type of smaller door or something like that but in the continuity of the classification you had the same kind of thing it's quite high this center console is Wow it all goes on and says when I got to GT I couldn't forget its interior and it's the same here it's just this beauti

full

y finished interior , it's piano black, they call it the topper on this one, there's actually a lot of buttons here and, but it has its party piece which is this rotated screen and I don't know, I just thought it's cool, you do that and suddenly you have this temperature indicator compass and you stop what didn't work.

I had to work. It is a kind of visual test, the temperature indicator is in small grasses there, eighteen point five degrees. I can see it on a small LED, so the LCD readout struggles, but Bentleys in the past have had a temperature gauge like I had. a Conti T and it has a lovely gauge on this big little wheel on the giant center console. I love how they managed to reduce the air back. It's nothing small. Do you think that where we were in the late nineties we noticed these huge airs early? bags that were basically the size of the wheel, were now a small thing that looks like a horn placed in an old cup, what else do we see?

It's a bit strange. Here we have this thing for your armrest and you think it stands up. above, but there's really no point in this, your stories below here, bone here. I thought it would be wireless charging, but it's not quite a fight. You find it in these tests and things, but not in this one, so yes, you still have to plug in your glove box phone. nothing more, but it's just lovely, absolutely lovely and when you turn it off and you have this screen option, I hope to go to the options that you turn off, which do that beautiful rotation and it just ends, disappears very nicely, yeah, back to my crib sheets I didn't really talk about the options on this car, so 168 300 lists for the car with the driving specs nine thousand five hundred and thirty-five pounds I eliminated quite a few things, including the type of leather upholstery on this guy.

Something with a diamond look, seen in 3D on the doors, this amount of stitching, diamond stitching on the seats, as well as twenty 21-inch wheels, you get it with a black and shiny finish lever and a filler cap with a special finish where it is metal and embroidered Bentley Turin emblems. The specification is also on this car six thousand two hundred and ninety pounds Lane Assist or is it aimed at an old cruiser a little better Bentley safeguard plus night vision screen What else do we have rotating screen? I'm afraid you have to add four thousand seven hundred and seventy pounds on top of the list price because it is 100 per cent, you will have to have that relatively cheap panoramic roof, half a thousand pounds, which makes a total for this car of ninety four thousand nine hundred Fifty pounds anyway, let's move that back, back off now. 8 speed dual clutch transmission and I can tell it is a dual clutch transmission rather than a talking Ritter, it just has a slight hesitation.

I love that little goal. Not wearing a seat belt? A slight hesitation when you're shuffling. between reverse and forward when you're just maneuvering, which is a feature of the 8-speed anyway. I'm going to dive in here, I mean, join us at some stoplights on slightly better

road

s and that's even though there's a dual-clutch transmission there. It's a degree of displacement, as you can see. I can just take my foot off the brake and coast forward, very well done down here. I have the option to configure the car. I have sport mode and have been in caddy or comfort mode. or custom comfort is very good actually for the, I mean you would respect 2.3 2.4 tons of curl to crush most bumps and it does a remarkable job, it's extremely comfortable, that longer wheelbase helps too.

I have it in the Bentley configuration. I have a trick with a 48 volt sway bar system that basically eliminates the effect of the roll bars when you're traveling down the highway and simply activates when you test the car will move slightly when entering a corner, which be and that also helps the trip a lot, but it's just the scammers, the typical Bentley wind, the view out is interesting at the front. I got up, Royce, you definitely see the Flying Spur, the symbol lives on. Bentley the

flying

bee because body type. curves down, I can only see the top, it's not as impressive behind the wheel as expected to be at the old Starbucks and stuff, and this is where this is not the chef I've compiled might as well be In the contest I can't see because of the size of that buzzer, yeah, like a camera there too, but it really compromises vision and it means look at this area and the big mirror on the door there and the size of these pillars that just came in. in the traffic on this roundabout there are big chunks of metal that could happily hide things and the thing about continuity is that it's a COO plane with no pillars and there aren't any of these boxes, it's a very different look from the steering wheel. because of the way this car is set up and if the fact that it's this aluminum construction is really good and that sees it has four wheel steering, this car and I've just been used to pretty local tricks because I would see the lock, it's all very different at the moment and we did the shopping with it and I took it to the parking lot thinking, oh, this is going to be a bit of a game, but because it's kind of square, the cameras are bright and it's got for your direction, Theresa has a pretty tight hook, only eleven, three meters.

I think that's the last thing you expect from a giant Bentley like this, it swelled up and took up the entire parking space and one of the

full

size ones. having a smaller front door at least I was able to get out, it's not your usual place, it helped, it had a huge boot and it also has adequate performance and is available here. Now I'm going to put it in sport because here is the glass uphillusual and This won't last long because this car goes from 3.7 seconds to 60 miles per hour from eight point two to one hundred miles per hour, which is almost nonsense for a 4-door

limo

usine with a two-point four tub, here we are, 30 miles and now we go. past and sucker kicked out that's that's a game for the amount T here's where the dual-clutch transmission really scores woof-woof Charles in this hat this car has 900 Newton meters of torque with old money that's 643 pound-feet in Everything That's a huge amount and is basically beyond the capability of a normal conventional torque converter gearbox, but it gives this car adequate movement, although I have noticed a slight hesitation at times when starting up, it has plenty of gears to go around. shuffle.Through the eight I can't just use the manual controls behind the wheel, but that seems wrong to me in this type of car.

The other weird thing I find is that it's a very easy car to go too fast all the time. You really say oh, I didn't like it. I'm doing 65. Now I've taken my foot off the gas but I'm still doing 6463. It takes forever to slow down and then it has a great CD value. It has that weight and it's so slippery that it doesn't want to slow down, it just continues at that speed, there's no kind of engine braking, there's no kind of wind resistance, it just slides, so yeah, you're going to spend a lot of time, look speed. it's really going 70 miles an hour and 60 on the highway at 80 miles an hour and you shouldn't be.

I just walk in and they see it's full of black smoke. I think the anti-roll system, just cut it off, is fine, is a good solution. noise too and now I'm going too fast so I have to slow down. Yes, that's what the Bentley Flying Spur does. You do a lot of slowing down just because they make effortless speed, just effortless because you're in something you shouldn't. be that fast, it catches you off guard oh sometimes it's a fun little move that gives us, I mean, sport again Jenny, I'm not sure what's more impressive: the anti-roll system or the combination of Ride quality of both, but the chassis engineers have done an excellent job on this car anyway, trying to summarize what I don't like about this car.

I still haven't gotten used to the appearance they impose, at best. I guess the side profile is his best profile. I just think the grill was overdone. It really doesn't help that she's black. I thought it would help. I liked the headlights, etc. and the back looks a little bland. It is simply seen. Hello, the rest, I don't know what it is. but I don't feel that Bentley is that imposing, so you have to mention the economy, this doesn't get very good miles per gallon, which is not a surprise because this is the top wall, it has six liters and 626 horsepower, but I'm struggling in adolescence.

I'm probably already running all that cylinder and the deactivation are working and on an Iran engine it will have a low load in the mid twenties, maybe, but I got about a 16 mile loop to the supermarket, 13 points, something else, 15 points . some mpg isn't really very good at all so it's not that good but luckily it has a big tank so you drive it like that if you go towards the lights the performance is off the scale it has no right to go that fast but he does it and he does it with a cloth, it really is a car that drives very well, so it's a big surprise there, but I guess Conti's duty is to surprise that area, as well as another area of ​​racing that he has, obviously She's sitting in the back, which is just the best place to be, it's one of the most comfortable driving areas,

limo

areas that I know of, just with those dual controls, seat controls, it says it's up there, they really have I emphasized the comfort of the back seat in this car, but when including it, I find it to be a strange car.

I'm not particularly in love with him. I saw it a little married, but for now it doesn't look like a car. It is one of those things if India is to start on a clean sea to pay and get off. Right now, what's going on in the world? Would you go out with a pterence em in our four-seater, five point three meter long, w12 saloon? I have a suspicion not. I just find this car a bit confusing, the Flying Spur, brilliant at the rear, very good chassis but not nearly as nice as the Bentley Continental GT and if I really want that 4 door practicality I'll just buy the advantage it It has, it's much more fit for purpose, so if I want that type of family, I'm going to buy it and also, if we really want the rear cab plus, would you also want 207 miles per hour and 200 miles per hour 8 point?

I'm not sure if we want it and also those two go together and also that pretty horrible economy. I just think there is a smarter solution. I want to see this car. There's a hybrid or something that's doing really complicated things. They have all this technology, but I'm not sure it's the right one. way to use it on a modern Bentley, so there you have it, I hope you enjoyed this video, if so we will keep watching it and keep checking Harry's farm and my other channel because there will be more videos on both channels very soon.
