Forget about the cars for now, it's Rory's presentation skills and use of words that's bowled me over. You are arguably the best, the most eloquent, the smoothest car presenter! Am lost for words to describe your car presentation skills. Well done Rory.
It's on the same platform, not the same car which is a common thing in car manufacturing. Simply means they share some technical structures which help reduce manufacturing cost
I personally did not like Rory when on Top Gear, the format did not suit him imo, but these AutoTrader reviews by @Rory are excellent. His personality and knowledge is presented so well; it's his natural presenter home. The failure of post-Clarkson Top gear was the personalities and friendship when compared of the original three. Also that the format has not changed, mixed with similar chemistry missing...
Flintoff & McGuiness are just a raving disaster. They play on their “northerness” not everyone finds that attractive. There are times when they should come fitted with subtitles.......
People who fan each other with land deeds, have pastry chefs and wear wellies more than one day a decade don’t give two fuckity fucks about depreciation. They’ll have that whip for 40 years.
I've been lucky enough to spend a bit of time with the latest Continental GT and my word it felt very special. The interior is leagues above anything else I've experienced I actually felt like I should taken my trainers off before getting in 😂
This is really great car chanel, everything about presentation is great! Camera, great shots, presentation is so smooth that you don't want to skip anything! Keep the great work! 👍👍👍
I absolutely despise the fact that the video when they first filmed this car, was filmed next to my house, and I didn’t even KNOW about it! Would’ve said hi.
Yeah, those anti-theft things work great with a gentle journalist trying to demonstrate it but a snatchy vandal will be able to grab that thing before it even knows someone is there...
Really love your analysis; excellent show. You are exactly right about the safety issues on the plastic grill; that give is safer for the driver and anyone else hit by the vehicle.
Such a beautiful piece car, this Bentley. But am I the only one who can’t get his head around, that for 220k pounds, they don’t bother to make the wheels look the same from both sides? I have never seen a car manufacturer provide you with this option when selecting asymmetric wheels. From the right side of the car, they seem to roll forward, but from the left side, they seem to roll backward.
Is it just me or are those exterior panel gaps REALLY off? Compare the hood-to-fender and fender-to-bumper gaps. Also the rear bumper is very uneven around the tail light at 6:05.
Bentley needs to do a hybrid version, these types of cars would greatly benefit. I doubt rich people like to spend every other day filling their cars up.
@@ou6775 I said hybrid not electric, you don’t need to charge hybrids. Money is not the issue, time is. Because of the big engine, gas mileage is bad and a lot of time is wasted filling the car up.
8:20 - the reason the firmware is quite old is because they have to lock in the firmware during the QA testing phase early in the car's development. From that they are not free to upgrade willy nilly, as the possibility of any function/app no longer working isn't a risk they can take. It's not to the level of a SCADA system or the like, but there are very good reasons why it is "behind".
Ok first: Get a dash cam! (You going to get the flying B fixed?) Second: love the flying spur... Though personally im not feeling this colour.... I prefer that Red with black wheels V8 press car.... Either way... beautiful place to spend time though.
You are correct its an EU regulation. Car manufacturers RR and Bentley are legally required to remove the illumination even on vehicles already sold. They still have to do so on U.K cars despite Brexit. This car has not been tampered with.
Put a rod under the wing of flying b. When it struggles to hide, just remove the crystal and take out the wired light. (I don't even live in Uk, don't blame me)
I always found V8 to be the sweet spot between performance and running costs. I'd appreciate if they made a V8 version, which I'd go for. W12 seems a bit too much and more like a flex than anything else. Also, why do you guys use metric units in describing dimensions instead of imperial?
Rory: Got a Bentley flying spur for a "LONG TERM" test... Here in India: Seeing bentley like a godsent gift, having a single showroom in the whole INDIA!..😜 Why? Well, afterall its India and a flying spur costs around 600,000 pounds..😔...that's without options.🤦🏼♂️
@@Kpaojd A LOT! Even touches 800k pounds easily.. All those come from those shitty nonsense idiotic taxes which are Imposed by this idiotic government.
Roy, you seem to be a smart guy: you want to steal a part of that Flying B, a quick trip to your local hardware store buy a cheap screwdriver and stick it into any part above the hood. You just jammed the re tractor and you can peel whatever you want. Even the smart boys in Bentley works know this.
Love the review, every time I watch these reviewsI want what’s being reviewed. These cars often by owners are rarely used o4 have a stable of cars wouldn’t this make it more practical to be electric.
My pet peeve is I want two but only if I can custom order it with the gas cap on the driver's side on a left side drive American model. Also Can I hire you as my personal assistant in Texas?
Hey !! No one steal the light behind the badge,m :) The european union forbid light ornement on the hood of cars since 20216, rolls & royce had the same problem and they had to remove on the car they sold with the lightning Spirit of ecstasy :)
Those rims look almost identical to the Lincoln Black Label rims, which is kinda ironic considering Bentley accused Lincoln of stealing their design a few years back with the Continental 😂
This is one of the nicest looking cars that have been made in a very long time. Modern but with some old school elegance.
Unpopular opinion: bentleys are more beautiful than rolls royces
This is a fact, actually. B's have a beauty that RRs wish they could aspire to.
Straight facts!!!
agreed
Thank you, fact
You’re not getting invited to posh Christmas parties for that one... 😆😆🙌🏽
LOL .... loved the "yes" at the beginning. Real talk. No faffing around.
Forget about the cars for now, it's Rory's presentation skills and use of words that's bowled me over. You are arguably the best, the most eloquent, the smoothest car presenter! Am lost for words to describe your car presentation skills. Well done Rory.
I think I speak for all when I say that nobody thought that the panamera and the flying spur are the same car
Share the same chassis*
That is one optical illusion 🙄
@@tomfield8766 no. They share the same wheelbase.
It's on the same platform, not the same car which is a common thing in car manufacturing. Simply means they share some technical structures which help reduce manufacturing cost
Can you tell or explain what you wanna say ?
5700$ for 2 Tablets with Andriod 5? I didn't know rape was legal in the UK.
😂😂
It's not for those who count pennies
Probably cud 3d print an adaptor to mount an ipad.
Don´t forget it was 5770 Euros before tax, that means when 19% tax is applied, you are looking at 6 866 Euro, which is 8 203 US Dollars...so yeah
The thing I dont get is why Android? I know for sure that 99% of the Bentley buyers are iPhone users.... 🤔
Its almost like Bentley knows that rich drivers are going to hit poor pedestrians.
Home, James! Don't spare the pedestrians!
You my friend, get a like
These cars are so beautiful it's scary. So aspirational. Thanks. ❤️
Rory was simply too good for Top Gear and not Northern enough to fit in with the Yorkshire Chumps.
I personally did not like Rory when on Top Gear, the format did not suit him imo, but these AutoTrader reviews by @Rory are excellent. His personality and knowledge is presented so well; it's his natural presenter home.

The only Yorkshireman on Top Gear has been Jeremy Clarkson.
@@mrgt3201 Loosely also:
James May grew up in Yorkshire - he want to school in Rotherham. So did Hammond actually, went to Ripon and Harrogate.
Flintoff & McGuiness are just a raving disaster.
They play on their “northerness” not everyone finds that attractive. There are times when they should come fitted with subtitles.......
Those new guys are so bad, don't know how Harris puts up with them. Rory, Harris and Catchpole would be great.
Depreciation enters the chat
People can afford £220000 prob don't care about depreciation
Bentley owners scoff in the face of depreciation and turn up their noses.
when you are rich af , you don't care about depreciation
People who fan each other with land deeds, have pastry chefs and wear wellies more than one day a decade don’t give two fuckity fucks about depreciation. They’ll have that whip for 40 years.
Depreciation isn't in the lexicon of Bentley drivers
I've been lucky enough to spend a bit of time with the latest Continental GT and my word it felt very special. The interior is leagues above anything else I've experienced I actually felt like I should taken my trainers off before getting in 😂
I actually really like how that thing looks, you would be crazy to buy that over a phantom though.
Well, this is cheaper than the Phantom :) This is more aimed towards the Rolls-Royce Ghost :)
This is not a Phantom competitor, this is a Ghost competitor, the Mulsanne sort of is the one that competes with the Phantom.
Cheaper. A lot More engaging to drive. More feasible to drive within cities. And a lot less association with rappers, drug dealers, boxers
"I thought I'd get this car back for a long term test" - yeah I bet you did...!
What personal sacrifice!
Best part of a second to make that decision I bet. So, not an easy one 🤣🤣🤣
This is really great car chanel, everything about presentation is great! Camera, great shots, presentation is so smooth that you don't want to skip anything! Keep the great work! 👍👍👍
I absolutely despise the fact that the video when they first filmed this car, was filmed next to my house, and I didn’t even KNOW about it! Would’ve said hi.
👋🏾

way so detailed Rory... the suspension, the quietness... i think it's worthy every dime.. but why calling Bentley when having flat tire?
I’m so excited to watch this. I want to let the world know I liked this video before playing it :)
This guy is my favorite auto reviewer. He is filling the void left behind by the Clarkson, Hammond and May.
Such a beautiful piece car, this Bentley. But am I the only one who can’t get his head around, that for 220k pounds, they don’t bother to make the wheels look the same from both sides? I have never seen a car manufacturer provide you with this option when selecting asymmetric wheels. From the right side of the car, they seem to roll forward, but from the left side, they seem to roll backward.
Massive depreciation though. My dad bought a fully optioned 2014 plate Flying Spur last October 2020 with 23.000 on the clock for £57.500.
Is it just me or are those exterior panel gaps REALLY off? Compare the hood-to-fender and fender-to-bumper gaps. Also the rear bumper is very uneven around the tail light at 6:05.
The beauty of the car cannot be ignored 😳 the features are entertaining and accommodating.
What a brilliant review and I’m not talking about the car Rory‘s presentation is amazing that was really enjoyable a breath of fresh air👍👍
That GAZE at 2:25 is pure love. Desirable car.
when bentley loan a long term test car does it come with a chauffeur?
One of my favorite sedan in the whole world 😎
Correct me if i am wrong but someone removed the light on the flying B cause of some regulation in the uk.
Hey Rory, did they let you keep the Breitling? I didn't want to give the watch back after my test drive. LOL
Bentley needs to do a hybrid version, these types of cars would greatly benefit. I doubt rich people like to spend every other day filling their cars up.
Its coming soon!
Filling up a car is more efficient then charging it. Plus i’m such rich people don’t care for the gas money
@@ou6775 I said hybrid not electric, you don’t need to charge hybrids. Money is not the issue, time is. Because of the big engine, gas mileage is bad and a lot of time is wasted filling the car up.
they have hybrid already
Finally a car reviewer gets a proper car!
8:20 - the reason the firmware is quite old is because they have to lock in the firmware during the QA testing phase early in the car's development. From that they are not free to upgrade willy nilly, as the possibility of any function/app no longer working isn't a risk they can take.

OTA updates tho...
Never would’ve thought I’d say Bentley is more beautiful than RR now a days.
Ok first: Get a dash cam! (You going to get the flying B fixed?)
Second: love the flying spur... Though personally im not feeling this colour.... I prefer that Red with black wheels V8 press car.... Either way... beautiful place to spend time though.
I feel like the illuminated part of the B fell off rather than being stolen. 🤷♂️
That’s exactly what someone who stole it would say... 👀
its a law
Whats with the panel gaps on the bonnet ?
it's a press car for Bentley so it might have been repaired at some point
Ever so slightly RR touches. Great review!! Love the content 1😍
Hope you’re all having a wonderful day, sending out some virtual hugs.
Thank you.
Can't wait until you review the new 2023 Bentley Continental Flying Spur SPEED !!
And the 2023 Bentley Continental GT SPEED A Baby Bugatti ???!
Rory here getting excited by the onboard fridge, like he never seen a fridge in the rear of most top spec luxury barges
I love Bentleys,I wish I could afford one
Isn't there a law in the UK that says car companies logos can no longer be illuminated? Maybe Bentley themselves removed the LED?
You are correct its an EU regulation. Car manufacturers RR and Bentley are legally required to remove the illumination even on vehicles already sold. They still have to do so on U.K cars despite Brexit. This car has not been tampered with.
4:52 - very easy to nick that, just put something firm like a piece of metal/wood between the hood and the flying B and it can't go down.
Not sure if do to the angle. But that gap between the hood and the fender is bothering me.
Put a rod under the wing of flying b. When it struggles to hide, just remove the crystal and take out the wired light.
(I don't even live in Uk, don't blame me)
Is the bonnet open or are the panel gaps really that bad?
No ads, this is how it's done!! :)
I always found V8 to be the sweet spot between performance and running costs. I'd appreciate if they made a V8 version, which I'd go for. W12 seems a bit too much and more like a flex than anything else.
Also, why do you guys use metric units in describing dimensions instead of imperial?
Professional review, great job mate..
Niceee Rolex yacht master 40 Rosie
flying spur vs A8 ?? in terms of quitness and ride comfort ?
Lovely to have it as long term
Nice Jordans Rory!
I'm a simple man I see rory I watch the video and I like the video
I luv how this dude presents cars
I could listen to RR review a wheelbarrow (though please don't!) - engaging, knowledgeable with a passion for cars that shows in all his reviews.
Rory: Got a Bentley flying spur for a "LONG TERM" test...
Here in India: Seeing bentley like a godsent gift, having a single showroom in the whole INDIA!..😜
Why? Well, afterall its India and a flying spur costs around 600,000 pounds..😔...that's without options.🤦🏼♂️
And take PPP into consideration and that 600,000 becomes a lot more.
@@Kpaojd A LOT! Even touches 800k pounds easily..
All those come from those shitty nonsense idiotic taxes which are Imposed by this idiotic government.
Dude get your facts straight..there are at least 3 authorised Bentley showrooms in India
“Ask me how I know” 👏🏾😅
Spectacular indeed.
what's with the colour - grading on this video? Colours seem dull.
Other than that, Rory is fantastic as always!
Roy, you seem to be a smart guy: you want to steal a part of that Flying B, a quick trip to your local hardware store buy a cheap screwdriver and stick it into any part above the hood. You just jammed the re tractor and you can peel whatever you want. Even the smart boys in Bentley works know this.
It also shares the same platform As the Audi A7
Like the cayenne sports back is the same as the Q8 & Urus
The room in the rear seats is ridiculously small. They should add at least 20 cm of space for legs.
I was like. "Ya think 🤔😅🙄". At 3:38
43 seconds in it en am already loving it 🤣
That two tone root beer GMT 🤩
i gotta say i really like rorys reviews
what colour is this
3:30 Caring about pedestrian safety is cool and all, but a solid feeling and harp sounding grille is more important. So metal grille please, Bentley.
Is there a XDA Developers thread for the Bentley Android tablets? 😂
I so love your reviews, thank you so much!
Love the review, every time I watch these reviewsI want what’s being reviewed. These cars often by owners are rarely used o4 have a stable of cars wouldn’t this make it more practical to be electric.
Maybe they were trying to show you how they can get around the anti-theft feature.
My pet peeve is I want two but only if I can custom order it with the gas cap on the driver's side on a left side drive American model. Also Can I hire you as my personal assistant in Texas?
It would be very interesting to see your personal garage.
Getting hit by a Flying Spur is a privilege.
Yes Rory.. I see you upping the watch game 😉
Flying “B” has a cleaner look without the illumination 💆🏾♂️
Interesting that all the option prices quoted are in € (Euro).
I like your video, your style, cinema-style, hope to see you introduce our Chinese cars.
The LED part that's on the emblem probably flew off, dude lol
You truly love this car it shows ❤️
No one does a night time view of a car, I wish i could at least see the snippets of what this car looks like with lights on and interior lighting.
How many cars do u have in ur car collection
Loving the reviews ❤️
ID take this over rolls everyday ..!!! .
I always liked Bentley more
They are much more beautiful
Interior also ..much nicer
Absolutely love your reviews
15 grand on a 05 says noooooo 🤣🇬🇧
Rory, any Rolls-Royce in Your calendar?
Would like this Bentley or New RR Ghost ....RR Ghost please. Really 5K for out date Tablets wow
Have you thought that this piece simply fell off while driving...?
😂😂 are you questioning VW's workmanship🤔?
geeez.. are they that careless?
'Refrigerated Bottle Cooler' is the most Bentley thing ever..
The best car of Great Britânia!
Hey !!
No one steal the light behind the badge,m :)
The european union forbid light ornement on the hood of cars since 20216, rolls & royce had the same problem and they had to remove on the car they sold with the lightning Spirit of ecstasy :)
It was there one day and gone the next. Did the EU send someone to remove it? 🙃
6:00 it's pure Phaeton at the back sadly
You are imagining it because this is unrelated to the Phaeton. This is built on a completely different platform.
Which exterior colour name of this Bentley flying spur?
So which is better this or the new Mercedes-Benz S class? You've driven both
# of unscheduled maintenance please?
Those rims look almost identical to the Lincoln Black Label rims, which is kinda ironic considering Bentley accused Lincoln of stealing their design a few years back with the Continental 😂
