£140k for the W12 - Not much more than the 2005 was. Not exactly a bargain but Bentleys are certainly getting better value. In 1980 a poverty spec bentley eight was £50000 or about £150k today. It didn't even have leather interior and just 247bhp through a 3 speed auto meant this new spur would hit 120mph by the time it hit 60.

Too many image changes for a review. My head is spinning.

This car price is more than 3 times 140, 000 POUND in China, you spend 140, 000 pound only get like a Mercedes S classic in China.

I amazed the average Beijing business man will bother when there is a fake Spur at your back street lot.

Both the next gen Bentley flying spur and Rolls Royce ghost are going to come out later this year

They say Bentley quality built. I would love to know if that is still the case five years on. I bet thousands of pounds spent on it and that’s what you call quality.

So it needs to be a long wheel based hybrid to be truly at home in China. V8 hybrid with decent EV range.

"It's got a proper fridge."! So what? My old, 2006 Renault Scenic 1.5 diesel also had a fridge.
