2023 Bentley Flying Spur Speed review! The Flying Spur Speed has it all: performance, luxury, and a massive price tag to match. Unfortunately, this Flying Spur Speed is likely the last to use the glorious W12, one of my all-time favorite powertrains. Today I'm reviewing this Bentley Flying Spur Speed and I'll show you the many quirks and features. I'm also going to get behind the wheel and show you what it's like to drive.

THESE are the Bentley auction results on Cars & Bids! Which is your pick? crsnbds.com/bentley-auctions
-
Can’t wait to buy this in 10 years for 25k
-
I generally like gauge cluster screens, but in a Bentley I want the supremely crafted analog gauges that look like a fine timepiece. A screen is just, a screen.
-
The ability to get rid of the screen should be in every car.
-
Did he really say OVERBUTTONED!!!! We keep saying we want buttons, Bentley gets it right, and here Doug is yip yapping along.
-
Crazy how dark green is now "flamboyant"
-
British racing green, but not a tan leather interior? It's the classic combo!
-
gotta disagree with doug on his point of the British racing green color. There’s definitely going to be at least 10-20 people that order this car with some variation of the racing green, with a brown interior chasing that gentlemans spec 😂
-
Thank you, Bentley for allowing the screen to be hidden when not in use. The infotainment technology is the one thing that REALLY dates cars as they age so being able to hide the display and clean up the dashboard is just so smart.
-
Doug is the type of guy to roll around in his chair like a doctor in a car review
-
The dark green on the car is absolutely amazing
-
I love that there are buttons it looks intuitive and im sick of the oversimplification that isn't simple
-
06:06 surprised to hear that Doug doesn't know about British Racing Green. That's a staple within the British automotive world. Not just Bentley.
-
The tooled aluminum dash trim is called “engine turning” and is used to make a connection with classic cars of the 1930s.
-
The brakes are a really good demonstration of how cars have overall got bigger. The turbo R of the 90's had smaller wheels than these discs.
-
The same engine was in the VW Phaeton W12 in 2004. I owned one -- it was awesome!
-
Honestly, when I think of British performance cars, I think of them in British Racing Green. Like old Jaguars for example. I think the Green will sell better than most think.
-
I absolutely adore this car. There’s nothing more elegant than a large sedan.
-
When I was in automotive school once of the classes had a W12 on an engine stand partially disassembled, and this was back when it was still fairly new. Was really a neat thing to look at at the time.
-
8:36 So I get that there are a lot of buttons...but I love it. All in the Center console area too by the gear selector...YES. I would love if every manufacturer would adopt this sort of button arrangement for climate controls. It leaves so much more space up top for screen functions or storage space.
