The interior is really just superb. They seriously nailed the design.
plastic
its plastic
voice of reason metal lower grilles are an option. Personally I'd want black metal grilles all over
voice of reason shame there's no 20" option, the brakes are seriously huge though so for good reason. The V8 might get smaller discs and twenties
Oh, stop it !
Great video, thanks for posting. A breathe of fresh air that its done by someone matured and isn't yelling or swearing every 20 seconds.
You know what I love about these videos? He gave a ton to the community through Evo, and now our support of that funds him getting to own tons of amazing cars, and sharing it all with us!
Jesus that acceleration at the beginning was phenomenal!
2.2 ton car
no it wasn't. it was loud and slow
Eugene Eugene shut up u muppet.
@@eugeneeugene2511 faster than anything you and I will ever drive lol
Fred Ralph Ever saw the Tesla Roadster II?
What a beautiful car in a great colour finish. I'm just shocked that it has taken me this long to see this video! Great review Harry as always.
I just keep coming back to watch this as it could well be the most perfect car on sale today. Kudos to Bentley who have absolutely nailed the styling and engineering, that interior makes an Aston look like an Astra. Definitely has a place in my heated lottery win barn. Well done Harry for another great video, love your reviews.
When he starts the videos in his garage I can’t help but to continually look around to see if there’s anything new in the background.
Me too. Those two Red lambo’s. I could live in that garage.
LarryUK - It is Nicer than some houses, a proper setup.
LarryUK Yeah toss a coin between taking the countach or the testarossa to Asda!
Yes, btw: We saw him fall in love with the Duetto Spider during a review and now I see he couldn't resist 'la grande bellezza'. :D
Me too!
Another epic review from a proper petrolhead and not some BS self-promoting supercar channel. God praise you Harry Metcalfe! Have to say it's more attractive than the previous model but I still think that it'll struggle to shrug off that footballer/rapper/nouveau riche image. Adore that color though
Marcus Hogan Its Squarely aimed at communist China,Russia and Islamic states so who cares about the odd tosser in England who will buy?
Scott 70 hopefully it doesn’t depreciate like the old one. Good friend of mine has a nice 06 convertible which he can’t sell as it’s worthless. I’m looking for my second ever car so maybe I might trade him my 07 Suzuki Swift!!!!!!
Marcus Hogan Both hairdressers cars but wouldn't be seen dead in your mates convertible unless I was in the boot.
Scott 70 don’t you dare diss a lad’s first car. I even once cheekily drove it to a JDM meet and parked it in the middle of all the high performance cars. Only reason I didn’t get kicked out is because it’s a twin cam!!!!!!!
Marcus Hogan They probably felt sorry for you hanging around someone who drives am 06 Bentley Convertible..
What a great dramatic start to this episode, Harry. Lovely looking Bentley. Great review as always.
One of the best channels on TH-cam, never disappoints!
Just found you on youtube and just finished a binge through your past videos. Keep it coming Harry!
You're in luck for some superb hi-end journalism - watch the motorcycle reviews too
Don't know how you've lived until now
Welcome to Harry's Garage, haha, I wish I could watch them all for the first time again, this is seriously the best car channel on TH-cam. :-)
To newcomers, Harry at first comes across as a bit eccentric. But he grows on you. After a while you realize that his novelty is that he is plain-spoken and unaffected. He has not been corrupted by the Jeremy Clarkson influence as have other reviewers, who by law must include lurid tail slides and whoops of delight in every evaluation - and keep reminding us that the review is really about them and their cleverness. With Harry what you see is what you get, which in this case is a serious car guy with vast experience and usually (not always) good judgment. Oh, and to top it off, he’s the kind of guy you’d like to have a beer with.
*john richards* He also doesn't do the irritating, completely fake falsetto laughter that many other reviewers deem essential every time they put their foot down.
Just a big fan of the mature analysis and objectivity you provide in each video!
I have to re watch this vid every few months to remind me of why I need to keep doing the Lottery! Thanks Harry
One for sale in Sydney ,Australia for $390,000. A bargain! 4000kms, like new!
At 8:58 he forgot that he was talking to plebs and he corrected himself, HA HA :)))))
Nice ahahah
😭😭🤣😭
It’s great that a guy of Harry’s age can create this channel and reach uber-cool status in car world.
Harry wasn’t always this age. Harry is one of the biggest petrol heads on the planet. I don’t think you know his past. Look it up. Mr Evo.
Understood guys, I am aware of his history. I just love the fact that a guy in my age group is charming the largely young youtube car freaks. I have immense respect for his analysis and conveyance of what a specific car is like.
Yes. He gives a real world view of these cars.
"..a man of his age" Jeez,he's not 95!!
You do know that Uber means under ?
Bentley knocked it out of the park with this, stunning design.
I was a little unsure about the rear of the new car when it was launched but I’ve got to admit it’s really grown on me-Smashing video as always Harry
I always loves the British supercars always cater for seats behind for our little son and daughter.. You are Awesome, Bentley.
What a brilliant review!
Way, way, way out of my league, But I thoroughly enjoyed this.
Your knowledge and enthusiasm really shines through, thanks for sharing.
I think a lot of the other 'car youtubers' can really listen and learn from Harry. I love the technical detail Harry goes into about the car, history of the brand/model and real world applications of the car - rather than just someone kid revving a Lambo, screaming his head off around London at 20mph
Harry - a terrific review (as usual.) I was happy to see Bentley go with the dual clutch and not the torque converter...all that power can be shifted like back in the good old days, for more fun. Rubino red is a WOW color, and with the linen interior, a natural combination.
When i owned the previous generation Continental T from 2002 i remember looking at the then fairly new Continental GT at P & A Woods, the dealer said they were not a big fan of the GT stating it had numerous problems. Now my Conti T wasnt without fault but it was a stunning car compared to the Audi TT like shape of the 1st gen Conti GT. This new model has again stirred my interest in the GT range and it looks stunning.. This or a DBS Superleggera .. difficult call. Harrys videos are simply the best for those really interested in owning the cars he tests in real life situations .. 1st class reviews as always.
This would be one of my lottery winning cars for sure. Thanks Harry.
Spot on Harry and well done again. No over modulated music from video games or over produced graphics or talentless presenters like most from the car channels, just pure honest videos about the car and your experience. Truly brilliant Harry. Every manufacturer should be begging you to review their cars.
I love the fact that when Harry says '' let's get to the business end'' he still means the engine and not the infotainment ;-) keep up the excellent work
I have been in love with this car for 15 years! Thanks Harry.
Another exquisite review from Harry
White privilege.
He look like Heisenberg from Braking Bad. :D
Hardly, isn't the Conti a favorite of hip hop stars?
Work hard ....@@mikereed9963
you can have one too.....
This video is the best birthday present I received today. Thanks Harry, aces.
Magnificent design, especially those tail lights!
Ánd much better from the front angle too - Super Grand Tourer!
Beautiful Car ! That rear spoiler and that break light at the roofs edge . The Dash Board and Center Console ! Beautiful ! Thanks Harry !
They came out of the same parts bin as my Audi A7.
Lovely car, nice colour too.
𝓛𝓪𝓡𝓾𝓼𝓼𝓸 👑 colour👍
I don't know why it took me so long to discover your channel- but now I'm hooked (& subscribed). Superb video!
"And the theater begins" What an accurate turn of phrase :)
Top videos from Harry's garage as usual, thank you...!
Fabulous car Harry, and a first class review
Love the roof line! Such a sleek car.
Love this - just perfect in every way and as always beautifully reviewed! 👍
Thanks again, Harry! Liked the Silverstone vid, too. As someone commented below I always look around to see anything new in the garage!
Two downloads from Harry in one week brilliant, the only thing that could be better is one every day.
paul karibu uploads?
Magnificent. And proper discs that work immediately. Steel. Lovely.
Carbon. Eurgggg!!ghhh!!! YYYu-u-u-u-kkk-k-k!!!
1:56 The lower in-take grilles in bright metal are optional. Must-have option, I think.
Definitely
Excellent...even more bling
Very well explained........ Love the shape and quality interior. This engine is new to me as well as i ddn't likened the old W12 so much as well.... So The Bentley Boys have returned!
Your videos are so informative!
Like a 'Chris Goffey' presenter from 1990s TopGear!
Thanks, I was trying to think who he reminded me of. Chris Goffey was class, as is Mr M!
Harry- your a top reviewer man. Hats off. I love how you give a 205gti the same level of enthusiasm and importance in your reviews as you do for a bentley. A true petrol head.
Loved the look of this car over the old shape. I’ve promised myself one of these cars in that same colour. Problem is at £160,000 starting price it looks like i’ll have to wait around 10 years for a one owner, low mileage, Fsh example. Excellent vlog Harry.
Love this new Conti.
Excelent video as usual Harry. Thanks!
Good stuff, Harry. Cheers
Harry the word doyen comes to mind , I appreciate /enjoy your channel very much ,Thanks.
Really like the new conti. Very classy, and great video as usual.
Was watching the SL600 review for the third time... now I’m watching a brand new video. Harry still producing great informative videos
Pretty countryside
The best. The English countryside!
Indeed ! Beautiful
Difficult to see when it's a blur...
A Conti GT isn't normally my sort of bag, even though I've driven a few and admire them for what they are. But this is absolutely stunningly well exectuted. Lots of unexpected want.
Good review of a pretty special car , very nice 👍
The honesty and knowledge you seem to convey in your videos is second to none
Proper video once again!
Been waiting for this review for a while. What a cracking car, and what a cracking review - best I have seen or read to so far. Thank You once again Harry!
haha, love the opening shot. certainly gives me an impression of its pace.
yeah but not as quick s my transit connect ; -)
Actually it doesn't, but a nice shot anyway.
"me"
A true stunner inside and out. It's gonna be a huge success!
11:52 rip to that camera
Bentleys are low, apparently. Haha
Hahaha yes
I was never a big fan of the symmetrical interior, the new design is spot on. Bravo!!!
Such a timeless design!!
th-cam.com/video/YmTIGIHTlns/w-d-xo.html CHECK THIS OUT DETROIT ARTIST MGK DISS ! GOING VIRAL! HAS MAJOR LABELS TALKING !
LEAVE FEEDBACK! SO I CAN BUY ME A BENTLEY!
BEAUTIFUL video Mr. Harry! 🥇🚘
God Bless YOU , Sir! 😀👍🇺🇸🇬🇧
I just love how Harry talks about the details in his reviews and gives us the benefit of his years of experience.Personally, the Bentley isn't my type of car but nice to see a considered review.Btw, can anyone tell me the name of the sunglasses Harry is wearing ?
4 years late but it does look like persol
@@olivierb9091 Bingo 👍 Might be 4 years down the road but I still wouldn't mind a pair. Thanks 🖖
Good evening, I do not speak English and I am not good at writing it too, but I made sure to record my admiration in your channel and the accurate information you provide about cars. You have my utmost respect and appreciation
The lower grille should be alloy/chrome - not plastic/black.
Engine is immense.
9/10 car.
I think too much bling with that Chrome grille. I think black metal would've looked better
I know it's a bit far back now but wonderful review with the usual unique insights and observations. I would love to own one!
Love your videos.
Have to say the option list seem expensive even by Bentley standards for what they contain.
ZF 8 speed auto are available with torque converter from 300 to 1000Nm.
Love the part at the very end after the credits. That look on Harry's face at the acceleration. That's enough to sell the car right there!
0:36 damn i always loved the old model in purple...would go for that.
Love it, Harry! Top reviews. Keep them coming! 👍
Thank you.
Built in my home town of Crewe, just awesome.............
Congratulations
Totally agree, the interior is world class! Excellent review, thanks Harry!
Brilliant video. I just traded in my Rolls Royce Wraith for one ☝️! Loved and had the Wraith for 3 years. Time for a change. Had two of the old continentals and they were also great, but this new one s INCREDIBLE! A lot more sporty and involving and fun to drive than the Wraith.
Only this guy would talk about a 200 grand car as if he’s describing a cheese sandwich - never gets over excited - absolutely brilliant the best car reviews online. Keep it up Harry!
That intro is chill
H for Harry, nice shirt also your biceps are looking good on this vid.
Beautiful car as you say.
Love your work
That's a proper Bentley GT!!!
Hey H.....my golf does the same.....
Actually.....i don’t own a golf. Love the look of the redesign. It’s been almost 10 years since my last Bentley.....and i didn’t really miss it......until now! Thanks for the review. You have left me yearning for more!
I saw one of these at Silverstone yesterday. No adaptive cruise control as standard? Not sure I like the quilted seats and the bling hatching inside the headlights. Its as though Bentley are trying to add tat to a car that would be great in a more simple form. The Arabs will love it though.
whitefields5595 Big hit in Kuwait already
The quilted seats are only available if you go for the "First Edition" trim
At last a fantastic designed Bentley. Its good to see the rear not looking like a Rover 75 anymore. Amazing inside and out and boy it can shift
Adaptive cruise an option! On a £150k GT!
The most impressive beginning of a car review ever! I love it! :-)
1971-1973 Buick Riviera is what it reminds me of.
Thats a classic Rivi color
This knownRivv.; Riviair R one of myn Staybridge rides in the world far as personal car and Eldorado but I love Riviera I love everything about him especially the 65 to the 66 my gr overal ..ls my Bert cars; wish.; I coiled have one
Superb work of art. Artwork on wheels. Great video.
Iam not loving that Chrysler front grill but my god it’s a work of art
It's a classic Bentley front grille! Blame Chrysler for copying them.
Fantastic review!!! Best on TH-cam! Great job, Harry!
The only thing I dont like about this car is that I cant afford one.
Best looking car on the planet.......End of story
You can always dream about owning one. Oh and we do not reside on a planet, just saying
Ditto
Ditto
Great reveiw!
Thanks Harry!!
It's beautiful both outside and inside. It's gonna sell like hotcakes! Okay, a gourmet kind of 'em. Highly expensive.
Harry, without a doubt in the world you are a master at these reviews,you could be a salesman,I would employ you,a great job
Thanks, always fancied a proper job one day! This Bentley was a masterclass. I've recently had an Aston DBS in for review and this Conti GT was better in many ways. £80k cheaper too..
LED is standard? wow, who would have thought. for that money.
That 0-100+ at the end almost took H's breath away!! I drove a 2008 6L twin turbo Conti a couple of years ago, was one of the fastest cars i'd ever driven, only God knows how they've managed to improve on that.
I built one of those engines today! Mighty interesting!
Tekspert ok....
what the fuck are you talking about Tekspert-JerkOff
You work at the production plant?
Dave S. I have been at Bentley Crewe all week mate. Unique take on my username though, most people are more respectful.
Interesting
Didn't think it'd impress me the footballer express but I've totally changed my mind. Harry. Quality review. Thanks.
I love this car, I just don’t understand why the developed their own infotainment system yet used the tacky plastic buttons on the steering wheel which they use on the golf
Jeremy Kyle run out of budget no doubt
The infotainment system is borrowed from Porsche's Panamera. As to why they do this, its to bring down cost of development (hence why we have automotive groups); if Bentley were to develop a proprietary system, it would bring costs up, and it most likely wont be as reliable as a system thats been developed to perfection to suit maximum number of applications. Even the new Chiron has an Audi R8 steering wheel in disguise.
Have to find the money to pay the billions and billions of dollars of fines & legal bills that AVG are facing from their recent abhorrent behavior from somewhere I guess.
Lovely car great review Harry as always. Went to the factory for a tour well worth it!
Wow, it's just stunning!
Superb and beautiful, absolutely love this car!
Cheers Harry for the video!
This is rather good wouldn't you say old boy.
This tickles my fancy
Bloody marvellous old bean.
indubitably
Awesome car; awesome review. A treat to watch. Thank you.
