interesting test for such a large saloon. It may be well over 2 tons in weight but it can still handle itself well. I saw one of these last night in satin white, which is a $28.000 paint option, it looked a bit bling bling, I'd have a deep solid black with a light tan leather interior.
Volkswagen ruined Bentley. I know this car is still nice & all cuz it's a Benltey but the front is god awful & the stupid W12 engine that VW put in the Bentleys is G-A-R-B-A-G-E! What happened to the legendary 6 & 3/4 V8's that Bentley used for decades VW?
@JaguarLexusCentral this thing doesn't have the w12 from the continental gt instead it has the same old school 6.75 v8 pushrod from the old bentleys handmade today ofcourse.
@BearsDkills I never actually mentioned this particular car linking it to the W12 engine, if you read my comment carefully & were smart you would notice that. So technically speaking, I win & you are the one who looks stupid. OWNED!
"I know this car is still nice & all cuz it's a Benltey but the front is god awful & the stupid W12 engine that VW put in the Bentleys is G-A-R-B-A-G-E! "
this certainly imply's you think this car has a W12 buddy, write clearly next time to avoid getting bashed.
This is why edmunds and motor trend are pure trash! They're all about paper stats. Paper stats actually mean nothing, especially in a car like this. It's about how it feels to be inside the car. Seriously, 1/4 mile times? Slalom speeds? 0.79g on the skidpad? Those are things only honda geeks dwell over. People who buy expensive cars like this could care less about stats, including price.
@youngq88 Somewhat, but its still nice too see stats. and trash you ay? then EVERY other motoring magazine and programme must be trash too because they ALL do the same tests..
This Bentley is 100% British. Its not based on a VW platform like the Continental. Designed, engineered and built in Britain. It takes craftsmen three months to build it and fit the interior.
I'm sorry to say this but this isn't anywhere near as good as 2010 Bentley Continental Flying Spur. Continental is still the best. These are Hyundai - like figures.
@tried12usernames To me it looks excelent, learn something about how Bentleys looks in the past. It just doesn't perform like a modern Bentley should.
@sspope this modernization of what bentleys looked like ended up terribly wrong. there's no way you can look at it's "face" and think "hmmm well done Bentley, yes, quite marvellous" and proceed to gulping your brandy. those lamps, they're so SHINY, it freaks me out. and there's no blend, it looks like they were painted on it, or maybe they're stickers, it's just ghastly

The poor slalom and lateral g numbers were expected, as was the quick acceleration times (huge motor) but I certainly didn't expect such a great braking figure. WOW, that a lot of stopping power for such an elephant of a car.

@Frenzy696 Maybach has styling? I mean the looks of a car is subjective thing, everyone has a different opinion of the looks of a car but personally I thing the Mayback looks similar to a mercedes. 10x better engineerd maybe.
track numbers for a bentley are as irrelevant as using inches when measuring liquid
a real test would have been if the back seat passenger could still count his money while being reclined & massaged by the heated/cooled/ventilated seat
@mellowdalyricist Really? So when, for example, your basement floods...do you sit there and calculate how many gallons of water there is or do you say "we had about 10 inches"? What about when it rains? You know, the weather people always tell us in inches....Also, how about when this Bentley needs to get a VIP away from a security threat it's slower than a number of cars, including a Jaguar XJ? Plus it's just interesting...
@AhJotahTube a basement flood is the only time i can think about when inches are used. when a town floods, inches are used to estimate the amount of water, unless the town happens to be perfectly flat, inches wouldnt really help. also.. this VIP should have an escape tunnel for such situation & not rely on a car
@sidewayznut2009 - Mulsanne was a dictactor? Wow, I didn't know... I just thought it was the name of the world-famous straight at Le Mans where Bentley triumphed several times... I'm just saying...
@t0rq21 Im dumb? Why should the fact that its a premium luxury car affect it's performance on the track? Look at the 2002 BMW 745Li, thats a big car and there is almost no body roll because ITS DESIGNED NOT TO. Obviously if BMW can put that feature into a $70,000 car, Bentley should be able to put it into a $200,000+ car
@t0rq21 It is in a different league, but it is still a large luxury car that performs well, and this should be able to perform equally as well if it has so much more power and costs so much more. I think the body roll and nosedive are due in large part to the soft, forgiving suspension that needs to be present to allow for such as smooth luxurious ride as you would expect from a car that costs as much as this does
