Bentley Flying Spur vs Iceland: can you run a £155k luxury car on water, straw and volcanos?

The irony of taking a big, purple £155k Bentley Flying Spur Hybrid to Iceland to talk about the environment isn’t lost on us. But there is a point to be made. As Top Gear Magazine’s Ollie Marriage tries to demonstrate by crossing Iceland in a luxury car by using nothing more than water, straw and volcanos to power it.

I've never seen a Top Gear video where there were so many good shots worthy of a screenshot for a wallpaper. Iceland is beautiful and the cameraman just NAILED it. The only other place close enough in beauty was when the original trio went to Argentina.

Can we just appreciate how beautifully this video is color graded🖤

The purple on that Bentley and Iceland’s scenery are both stunning

1:14 Starts the journey moving forward at 78mph
11:04 Returns home moving in reverse at 78mph 🙃

I already want to go to Iceland but after watching this I now REALLY want to go to Iceland. What a stunning place.

[TheOnyxian]

Iceland is so stunning I almost forgot to look at the car!

Honestly, ever since you-know-who was sacked from the programme, I’ve never even bothered watching the new Top Gear. Clicked on this, and I was pleasantly surprised. Sure, it’s not as funny or exciting as the old one... but this is a properly good educational programme. I quite like it. 👍

Leaving the fuelcap hanging on the paint hurts too see😂

[grumpyrocker]

Good lord. The scenery. Absolutely breathtaking.

[TheGroundWorm]

spec on that flying spur is amazing. would be such a hard choice between that or a new RR. but i guess if you can afford one you can probably get both

[AlexSami-qwqu]

I don’t know what’s more epic, the spec on the Bentley or the scenery. Beautiful.

Harry from harry's garage does 27.2mpg from a W12 while you do 28 from a v6 hybrid. You oughta do better ollie. Get the w12. Long live the w12. 😁

More of an Ad for Iceland then Bentley lol

[Unspoken_T]

What a great looking motor and the colour 👌🏾

[Phoenixi]

cinematics on this video were next level. Way to go top gear !

[josephdemel]

Aww man, it hurt to watch him hang the metal gas cap against the body. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[inamghafoor]

Bentley should be leading the way and doing better than 28 mpg, drive it through a shit whole like Alum Rock, Birmingham you'll appreciate the inside more :)

[vaneetkailey]

Best top gear and national geo collab ever lol

[Revheadrev]

Bloody brilliant cinematography gents. Probably the best TG vid since Clarkson did a piece on the V12 Vantage a few years back - he didn’t say much in that vid, just let the images and the sound of that V12 do the talking. My fav TG vid from those times.

As an Icelander, it warms my heart seeing all the comments about my country.
