    It's beautiful, but I still prefer the previous one because of the stunning diamond front light

    1. The radar sensor is a catastrophe! This was designed so much better in the predecessor.
    2. The trunk space is a joke. I think, that Bentley customers want to use the cars for long journeys.
    3. What about the weight? Is it the reason for the top speed limit of the GTC?

      Not only the screen bezels are gigantic for such a car, but the panel gap in the centre console screen at 9:23 is also thick for such an expensive car, and the whole gimmick feels like a random aftermarket attempt to make the car look cool.
      I'm real, check the new Dacia Duster's centre console screen, the vertical bezels aren't as wide as Bentley's. On the other hand, the Mazda CX-60 bezels are THICK, but they look way less "cheap".
      Once again, many brands are too focused on making technological and fast cars, rather than making better cars.

    Thomas, the tool in the rear centre that you didn't know what it was for is the Emergency Release Tool for when the soft top roof won;t automatically go back in to the up postion. There is a hole behind the centre rest where the tool is kept that the tool fits into and it requires 2 people on either side of the car to asist putting the roof back into the closed postion. A handy tool if the roof is down and it wont close automatically and it looks like rain !!

    I like it. It is "objectively" better than the previous version, but some of the subjective factors leave me wanting. I prefer the traditional dual-circle headlights with crystal-like bezels. The W-12 will also be missed despite the phev V-8 being more powerful and emissions-friendly. The 3d texture part of the interior door panel is cool, but i'd rather have a stitched leather pattern (hopefully that option is also available). I could go on, just little stuff like that, but overall this is a very competent re-design. Some things should have been changed more, and other things should not have been changed as much.

    • @autogefuehl
      @autogefuehl  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. I also bought cars with animal skin leather seats before I did my research and got to know the industry. The most important thing is: With today's modern materials, you have nothing to lose, just to gain. You achieve the same kind of luxury and comfort or even better while having the same or better durability with less impact on humans, animals and the environment.
      You can use fabric/cloth, microfibre or leatherette. The classic approach is using oil/plastic as source material. Overall, a vehicle contains about 300 kg plastic. A car seat needs about 5 kg plastic. So the overall plastic share for the seats is very low and it is at this moment the most efficient way to produce a car seat. A couple of litres of fuel equals a car seat basically. So if you want to save oil/plastic, rather look at consumption for energy, fuel and heating and to other car parts than the seat. Note that animal skin leather also always contains a plastic coating for durability. However, long-term we should of course find raw oil alternatives. So going further, seats can be made from recyclables (e.g. from PET-bottles or old fishing nets) or even increased share of plant-based materials (like pine oil, canola oil or start-up materials like Pinatex from pineapple leaves or Desertex from cactus fibre or the mixed-plant-based Mirum, so be seen at th-cam.com/video/S1aNZeoatmE/w-d-xo.html). On a calculation base, by ditching animal skin leather from car interiors, the amount of emissions (CO2e) is reduced by 85 (!) % (www.press.bmwgroup.com/africa-dom-easteurope/article/detail/T0403389EN/on-the-market-from-2023:-bmw-and-mini-models-with-vegan-interiors?language=en) - and that is a very conservative calculation. So it is at this moment the most important thing you can do to make car interiors more sustainable.
      A good example for high-end luxury with ventilated animal free seats is the BMW X7 with Sensafin: th-cam.com/video/1pRNkW9nrrw/w-d-xo.html
      And the Kia EV9 with plant-based oil share: th-cam.com/video/6vXePQi_MAk/w-d-xo.html
      New leatherette materials can be superior in every aspect, even for cleaning: th-cam.com/video/u94YXJ72UTA/w-d-xo.html
      More and more natural materials are rising: th-cam.com/video/nRSsXEnwHDo/w-d-xo.html
      Also check out what the animal skin leather industry tried to with our channel: th-cam.com/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/w-d-xo.html
      For seeing how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: th-cam.com/video/tkjCAmq1_8E/w-d-xo.html
      Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally.
      Also a group of researchers and German journalists from public media could recent directly trace the connection between car animal leather production and illegal burning down Amazon rain forest:
      www.daserste.de/information/reportage-dokumentation/ard-story/videos/illegales-leder-video-100.html
      In a high animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat is the "first" misuse case, the hide remains a profitable body part. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you demand it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and harms the environment, you make them more profitable. Alternatively, you could support industries with your wallet which try to improve the sustainability of materials. Also, if you turn the argument around to "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize that it doesn't make sense (and is ethically doubtful) to discuss the primary use of individual body parts of mammals. Mind experiment: You are getting slain down on the street; would it matter to you if it was for your smartphone or for your purse? Remember that animal skin leather is no different to fur, fur is just leather where the hair is still on. And fur is widely not accepted for clothing anymore, and of course not for cars.
      We cannot change what we have bought in the past, but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.

    Not too sure if this is an improvement. The front end is not an improvement and everything else seems pretty much the same bar the rear lights, which are cool, unlike those very odd front lights. Will wait for the performance report.

    So the Speed is not really replaced, and the "Speed"-brand has to sell the plug-in. Well, the customers probably even like it, the tax is cheaper and it probably still drives well on the Kö. However, calling a car Speed that is 50 km/h slower than its predecessor is quite something :D

    What is the point to ask for a "no animal leather" car , if we eat every day meat ??. I any way the animal is killed. It is like saying kill the animal to eat it, but throw its leather at the bin because we want to be "leather-free".

      Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. I also bought cars with animal skin leather seats before I did my research and got to know the industry. The most important thing is: With today's modern materials, you have nothing to lose, just to gain. You achieve the same kind of luxury and comfort or even better while having the same or better durability with less impact on humans, animals and the environment.
      You can use fabric/cloth, microfibre or leatherette. The classic approach is using oil/plastic as source material. Overall, a vehicle contains about 300 kg plastic. A car seat needs about 5 kg plastic. So the overall plastic share for the seats is very low and it is at this moment the most efficient way to produce a car seat. A couple of litres of fuel equals a car seat basically. So if you want to save oil/plastic, rather look at consumption for energy, fuel and heating and to other car parts than the seat. Note that animal skin leather also always contains a plastic coating for durability. However, long-term we should of course find raw oil alternatives. So going further, seats can be made from recyclables (e.g. from PET-bottles or old fishing nets) or even increased share of plant-based materials (like pine oil, canola oil or start-up materials like Pinatex from pineapple leaves or Desertex from cactus fibre or the mixed-plant-based Mirum, so be seen at th-cam.com/video/S1aNZeoatmE/w-d-xo.html). On a calculation base, by ditching animal skin leather from car interiors, the amount of emissions (CO2e) is reduced by 85 (!) % (www.press.bmwgroup.com/africa-dom-easteurope/article/detail/T0403389EN/on-the-market-from-2023:-bmw-and-mini-models-with-vegan-interiors?language=en) - and that is a very conservative calculation. So it is at this moment the most important thing you can do to make car interiors more sustainable.
      A good example for high-end luxury with ventilated animal free seats is the BMW X7 with Sensafin: th-cam.com/video/1pRNkW9nrrw/w-d-xo.html
      And the Kia EV9 with plant-based oil share: th-cam.com/video/6vXePQi_MAk/w-d-xo.html
      New leatherette materials can be superior in every aspect, even for cleaning: th-cam.com/video/u94YXJ72UTA/w-d-xo.html
      More and more natural materials are rising: th-cam.com/video/nRSsXEnwHDo/w-d-xo.html
      Also check out what the animal skin leather industry tried to with our channel: th-cam.com/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/w-d-xo.html
      For seeing how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: th-cam.com/video/tkjCAmq1_8E/w-d-xo.html
      Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally.
      Also a group of researchers and German journalists from public media could recent directly trace the connection between car animal leather production and illegal burning down Amazon rain forest:
      www.daserste.de/information/reportage-dokumentation/ard-story/videos/illegales-leder-video-100.html
      In a high animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat is the "first" misuse case, the hide remains a profitable body part. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you demand it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and harms the environment, you make them more profitable. Alternatively, you could support industries with your wallet which try to improve the sustainability of materials. Also, if you turn the argument around to "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize that it doesn't make sense (and is ethically doubtful) to discuss the primary use of individual body parts of mammals. Mind experiment: You are getting slain down on the street; would it matter to you if it was for your smartphone or for your purse? Remember that animal skin leather is no different to fur, fur is just leather where the hair is still on. And fur is widely not accepted for clothing anymore, and of course not for cars.
      We cannot change what we have bought in the past, but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.

      @@autogefuehl first of all thank you for your detailed answer. Still , what we should aim for , is to avoid meat consumption, because its where millions of animals are killed every day. Their skin/leather is a byproduct, that we should ofcourse avoid consumption as well. But its not the main reason why animals are killed. Also , as europeans we are a bit hypocrite, we all are because we were educated like that. We say to the brazilians : For centuries, we as europeans destroyed all our big european forests to build our civilazation (houses, factories, offices, monuments, companies , parking lots , etc. But you Brazilians, you are not allowed to do the same thing with your forest. Because WE as western people want to breathe ! We never say that WE should build new forests in our territory, we say that THEY should keep their forests intact for our good...

    The GTC is a car I was actively looking to acquire for a minute
    My problem is with this new one is I like the new headline design, but I am still a fan of the old articulated daytime running lamp configuration, and Bentley seems to be taking a stroll down Cheapie St.
    Ever since Volkswagen bought them, it's like the old English bespoke range of choices has been vastly narrowed... and replaced with teutonic frugality.
    Though recently placed under the tutelage of audi, we will see what the new managerial headship gets as far as overall value to the customer.
    Because I'm not a fan with this whole "murdered out" look... all the smoked out trim the bright works have been replaced with, not a fan of that - no more big engines that was the whole thing with Grand touring...
