I feel top gears videographers and editors are actually artists and go so unnoticed
TC Media TV If they made films, they'd get an Oscar every time.
The last part where you see water dripping from a defeated boxers face. Then a wet Bentley sign. Is pure ART
I mean the old sound guy deserves death
Thats because you are an ignorant moron who lives on TH-cam. Top gear is one of the most watched shows in history, and the editing, themes, and aesthetics have long been praised and acclaimed, and awarded numerous times as a result. Idiot
Oh, dear.
Kyong Hansen is upset.
"An elephant with the reflexes of a water boats man" this is why we want Jeremy to keep on documenting cars
Well i'm from Poland so could you explain what a water boatman od?
Im from Lithuania and i dont know what a water boatman is
"The rear seats have been replaced with air" boy does be know how to put it
He and James are very good at this
the cinematography when the Aston was introduced in the video had me in awe
Same thing for that Lexus RCF review. The reference is epic.
Arjun N ikr? top gear has some amazing moments like this! the music and the shots ang Jeremy's lines combined!
No, Yusuf.
Please watch the video to the end.
Yusuf Animates I don’t think you watched the whole video
10 years later and that car still looks amazing and timeless
The side and back look good, but the front end of Bentley's has always looked hideous to me. Round headlights and a rectilinear grill shape can work together well, just look at a lot of mustangs. But it just doesn't work on this car. Something about a boxy, blocky grill with weird quad headlights just doesn't work for me.
Kevin B I think it looks good.
@@yammmit I respect your opinion and I recognize that this grill and light appearance is a call back to older Bentleys and that's in part why it looks the way it does. But to me, rectilinear( straighter and somewhat boxier) shapes just clash with rounded shapes in product design. There are exceptions of course but that's just usually what I think.
@Miga Mafiri I agree wholeheartedly, I’d add the aventador and the LFA as well.
it looks like an egg
Spot on Jeremy. I am Polish and I have no clue what a Water Boatman is. And I used to know somebody from Ethiopia driving Subaru exclusively, so she'd not know what Evo 10 is. Good research.
+Andrew Piatek Why he said Well and embarrassed ?
+finux Leong Ethiopia > Africa > No water >he said Well ( as in a water well) > Hence embarrassed xD
im from ethiopia and last i check there is water :\
We 3rd world habitants tend to get offended by those frasings. Grow up.
+RoyManter If the "globalist" continue their politics as they are doing currently, we'll all soon be 3rd World.

A Top Gear level statement. 😂

@@obamagaming6642 I read that whole thing in Clarkson's voice. 😂😂😂
@@itsthezeke9022 splendid.
@@obamagaming6642 160 000 thousand..?😁 so like 160 million then?😅
Some years on, but still, one of the best edited reviews from Top Gear!
Love the Bently Continental. May not as sport friendly as the Aston Martin DBS but it makes up for it with a classier look. Its like a speed yacht vs a speed boat really.
Aston Every time for me......If I had the cash.
"Dogs don't have wheels...unless they've been in an accident."
How do the writers think of these things? I love it!
I'm sure this one bears solely Jeremy's signature on it, though the writers might be there to limit him what he's actually allowed to say on television.
im pretty sure jeremy writes the script
This may seem dumb but what does the joke mean
Muhammad Anas
It means their back legs are paralyzed, so they need to have a harness with wheels strapped to them so they can move around.
AstralDragoon nothing is written is goes off script
That really is a testament to how much power modern Bentleys truly have. Out of all the cars tracked on Top Gear and the Grand Tour, 3 have blown a tire. Two of them being a Bentley. One, the SLS. All driven by Clarkson.
Bentley Arnarge T blew it wheels too
I think it's 4, the Lambo in Switzerland too
@@c63w204Wthat was on the Grand Tour
It’s the torque more than the power
Just checked the lap times. Cars in front of it are 2012-2014 M cars, AMGs, Lambos, Audi 2012- RS etc... With that much weight, its lap times are insanely good. It beat some 2010 Porsche, 2005 Lambo, C63, some 2005 M3, even a 2005 Corvette which weight half a tonne less. Awesome car!!!!
Great work researching that, thanks for the effort!!
cool
Don't forget the GTR! All the cars you listed are fan bleeding tastic however.
There should be a Grammy category for car filmography and this should be the standard.
'It does things rather well' - I think he said 'no not well' because there arent many Wells in Ethiopia.
Major Peg yes that is the joke
@@yammmit Thanks for clarifying I really wasn't sure
I’m Ethiopian and I laughed my ass off😂
I worked at a cheap car wash place. A guy with a bentley continental would come through and get the cheapest car wash we offered every week. He was afraid of the car wash so he would ask me to drive it through. It was AMAZING.
7:21 stylish Aston Martin DBS entry and nice video-music sequence.....
The final song it's call Dulcet Zone from Inky Blackness
Thanks
Thankyou
That ending still makes the hairs on the back of my head stand 😪. Just beautiful.
My dad will love a Bentley Mulsanne New Model bit he has a Prius for now
Well he l loves the prius too
*riding smoothly* "But look at the way it changes direction..."
EERRRR
ERRRRRRRRR
EEERRRRRR
son of a bitch
Dang. He used to watch car videos?
I like this thing. If it can keep up with a Corvette, and can out corner it, it must be one hell of an engineering milestone, being able to corner a library at 80 mph. I wouldn't personally buy one myself. I like it a lot though, don't get me wrong.
A potato could outcorner a corvette
@@ekdhamfirstclass5961 a dog on wheels could out-corner a corvette
@@samedman1 A church could out-corner it.
You have to admit, it's one hell of a beautiful car. I'd absolutely love to own a Continental above any other car out there, even a first gen GT. You also have to realize that Bentley, like Aston Martin and Ferrari, aren't forgetting their heritage or history - luxury and comfort before speed and noise. I cringe every time I see a Bentley in a rap music video, it's such a waste.
lol
Loved the music at the end when Aston stepped in, damn felt so good :)
I hope i turn out to be a great music producer and actor :)
This was litteraly the very episode that got me back into Top Gear. Especially the bit at 6:27 where he mashes the Bentley to bits.
Got to love how the Aston Martin DBS pops up behind the Bentley at 7:07. Both cars are phenomenally gorgeous. That's not a word i use everyday.
Well which is the word you don't use everyday? Phenomenally or gorgeous?
I've never been so in love with a car before
eBay has some amazing deals.. Keep hunting! 😎
id still pick the Bentley over the Aston martin
+dknight xs So would I. No doubt.
+dknight xs And i would take the cash equivalent and buy something better.
+dknight xs ok, you can send me the aston..
dknight xs both overpriced junk
junk? and what is "good priced?" a gtr with infiniti interior? a vette with GM aveo radio?
Magnificent conclusion Jeremy; I'd buy an Aston Martin DBS. That's what i wanted to hear.
Just over 600 horsepower from a twin turbo w12 from 11ish years ago. And now there’s the 1.6, 3 cylinder turbo gr corolla coming out making almost half the Bentley. Crazy the power from such small engines now
They been able to do that from the 80s/90s with group B rally cars 600bhp in 1.8l
Its a bentley so a little tuned 1.6 with the same power is never going to rival the smoothness of a V8 or V12 as power is besides the point.
Love the Bentley Continental. I think its a gorgeous car. I must be getting old. I would rather drive that then a Bugatti Veyron. I know I'm insane.
+William Smith You are not. The Veyron is a failed project, which is why VW dropped it. It's ugly as hell, the power output is pretty bad when compared to the engines dimensions, it is in fact less aerodynamic than most regular cars, and Bentley is losing around 5 Million Euro on every peace they sell, because it is just way too expensive to build and was too expensive to develop.
The Bentley, on the other hand, is a VW Phaeton with an even bigger engine and a more beautiful design.
I would definitely prefer it, too.
+Stryke May I just ask. When did VW dropped Bugatti?
jhay pena They didn't, they bought them.
+Stryke You said on you previous statement, "Veyron is a failed project that is why VW dropped it."
I am asking when VW "dropped" it?
jhay pena That's correct.
They dropped it, because it is far to expensive (afair Bugatti actually loses around 5 Million Euro on every peace they sell), and it's just poorly engineered. It is less aerodynamic than a standard VW Golf, and even though it is fast, the engines displacement power is actually really bad. 1000HP sounds like a lot, but if you consider that it needs an 8l quad-turbo W16 engine for that, it's far from being impressive. (not even speaking about the fact, that it empties it's whole fuel tank in 15 minutes ... which is just stupid, even for a car like that.)
On top of that, the car is heavier than most luxury limousines, which makes it really struggle in corners and at breaking. It isn't a sports car.
It is desperately impractical as well, you really can't use it on a normal road ... which is the opposite of what most sports car manufacturers are aiming for.
I guess, all of these problems had their part in VWs decision to drop the project and give it to Bugatti to do something with it, that would at least gain them some status.
I love how they always review cars that the average Brit can afford :-D.
X X Hea being sarcastic you dong
I know it’s so helpful *smokes cigar made of gold*
Holy smokes I dont ever remember making this comment.
Definitely just sarcasm. I can't afford a new bicycle right now though, much less a Bentley 🤣🤣
@@MrRacecardude lol, I guess some people just want to see reviews of vauxhall vectra's. That's what 5th gear is for heh
Thats what Tiff is for ...watch 5th zzzzzzzz Gear
@MegaNIKID
The new Bond film may feature a Bentley as the new Bond Car, possibly the Continental Supersports which is cool in my book. Personally i Prefer Astons but the new Bentley Mulsanne and the Continental Supersports are fantastic cars.
nostalgia... wish I could go back to 2010.
james bond should drive this car through something like a building!
FPVREVIEWS He drives a Bentley in the original books, its his personal car. The aston being provided by Mi6
FPVREVIEWS
Or something like a Taiwanese street food booth
It is a building.
He said the exact same thing about the Jaguar XKR-S; that it's better off to buy a Nissan GT-R instead.
I'm gonna buy that car next week that's why I'm looking at videos of it and I love the car and it's fast... Real fast I'll post a video of it when get it!!!
younggrim19991992 sure you will
so how were your impressions on it ? tell us a bit
2.250 kg?? What is it that makes this car so heavy even after being put on a diet??
All Kind of Luxury stuff. Special AC, SAT NAV with ten million stuff on it. Leather and other things... And if i'm am right, Bentleys got heated seats.
brunoraoni lets not forget that v12
joshstylegaming Yes, you right. One of the reason why V12 are not used anymore on most superscars its becouse they are too heavy. A good V8 engine can get as much power as a V12 but its much lighter...
the quality is heavy, all components are oversized in compromise for enginerring
TT W12, automatic gearbox, heated seats, sat nav, air con, etc
2:19 I'm glad that NFS Hot Pursuit got the startup sound right. Also at 1:47 when Jeremy said that it will go 204mph I remembered in a top gear clip where they were talking about the brand new Continental in either 2004 or 2005. They had asked the audience their guesses for the top speed, and one guy said 200mph. I don't remember what happened but I hope you know what I'm talking about.
I have actually sold my bentley supersports and bought a DBS, which can never match it in performance, i just fell in love with that car, it's a statement of elegance and it makes me feel and look so good, 007 like :-)
"... & secondly, when you're running on 'maize' its not economical"
LOL !
Just got to wash one and ride one. Holy shit. That's all I can say.
STOP PUNCHING AT MY PC SCREEN GODDAMNIT!!
That was really well put together. With the boxer, the rain, the sunset etc etc
Well Jerome Clarksville, I think that that Elephant/Oceanliner is pretty fast enough and pretty sporty.
amazing editing
The cinematography is incredible on that show. Some of the best on TV.
My friend had a DBS and now he has the Supersport and to be honest I think the Bentley is the better car. The DBS felt cheaper, slower and constantly had things going wrong, however it does sound better. But overall the SS is such a good all round car. The rear seats can be put back in on request, its quieter, more comfortable, better interior and materials and it is a lot faster, while still slightly cheaper.
I have watched so many original Top Gear videos that I liked, but this intro with the boxer is one of the best!
everybody in love till the DBS rocks up an steals you xD
0:01 Metroid music?!?!
DBS is just amazing thing
yep
If I was Bentley, I would be really pissed off having a new car thrashed. I don't know why Clarkson has to cane the crap out of the car and destroy the cars tyres to prove the bloody obvious. The Bentley does not weigh the same as a Porsche 911. Bentleys have always been big, heavy luxury cars. The difference between a sports car and a luxo barge like the Bentley is that most (but not all) sports cars ride like icecream vans and are noisy with it. The Bentley is quiet and comfortable and generally not driven by cashed up yobs..
He dind't thrashed the car, he did thrashed the tires. Not a big deal, and if a car want to be called SPORT he should be able to face this kind of situations... Its like having a lorry and not use it for work....
brunoraoni
Those scuffs on the rear quarter where the tire shredded made me cringe though.
Ya, I saw one as well. But it was just behind my Evo X on the race track (MSR)... Actually we were the only two of our group could keep our pace on the slippery track in heavy rain, cause we are AWDs. Everyone else went out of the track... But Bentley never had chance to pass me lol. Still, a surprise seeing one on the really track =)
love the music at the end.
Dulcet zone - Inky black
Whats the name of the last song?
Ruben Ortega Dulcet Zone Inky Blackness
thanks alot
Anybody know the title of the last song on this video?
Dulcet zone by inky blackness
Thanks!
chceck darude-sandstorm as well.
Adam Perez Thank you!!
"But look at the way it changes direction"
(Rolls sideways)
My next door neighbor got the Continental GT (a step down from the Supersport), and it is one of the most beautiful things I have ever layed my eyes on, not to mention I can hear the engine clearly from my upstairs room when its idling.
the camera work in this program is absolutely phenomenal.
Reliant Robin is faster!
I'd take the Continental GT3-R for sure
i totally agree, it's v8 sounds glorious
It doesn't have a V8 it has a W12.
It has an Audi V8.
"Dogs dont have wheels... unless theyve been in an accident."
for some reason i LOVE how the DBS kind of pokes its head in at 7:09. i kind of missed it
@introducing68 I agree. But its not been all bad, Some of the most Iconic cars ever built have been American. Mustang, Corvette, etc. I think every car company goes through bad periods when it comes to making cars.
6L Twin Turbo 12 cylinder engine and it only produces 620 hp?? Considering the price, the sporting intentions, and the weight the power is saddled with. That's pretty weak... I'm not an American car fan (more of a Japanese car guy), so I'm not trying to come to the defense of them here on a top gear vid.. But isn't Clarkson always bagging on the American cars for making so little power with their big engines.. And doesn't the Corvette ZR1 make 640 hp with it's 6L of boosted displacement?. 20 MORE than this overpriced VW.
i dont think people who buy this car are thinking all about the power , more the looks ,,it loooks way better than a corvette
Skalli Boom Not the new corvette, but I see your point. The car is more of a status symbol than a track car.
That's because even after all that Sport stuff added to it, Still is a Luxury coupe, it should be smooth, The Bugatti Veyron for example, is a 8.0 Lt W16 quad turbo engine, Quad! and ''only'' produces 1,000hp, while there's Nissan GT-Rs with V6 and ''only'' 2 turbos, putting out 2,000 hp, BUT! Bugatti's engine is more smooth, In the 2,000hp GT-Rs and LS engines you have the BRAPAPAPAPAPAPAAPAP idle and the ultra high RPM redline, but then in the bugatti you have the quiet idle, the Amazing smooth sound at 6k rpm.
Big engines with high displacement and ''low'' power outputs are usually more quiet, easier to live with, more smooth, and reliable.
Another example, taking it this time to everyday cars, The CrownVic/Marquis/Town Car, is a 4.6 lt V8 and only produces 210 hp, while the ''same'' engine in the Mustang could get up to 310. I ride in a Marquis everyday and damn that thing is smooth, Is like riding in you bed:)
It's not signed for people who want to go fast, get insane track times, and stick your head in the engine bay tuning it up. It's designed for rich people who don't know what any of the specs of the car are, how its built, or how to tune it, rather they buy it for the looks, luxury interior, and the fact it can go fast at the same time.
Serenity "It's not signed for people who want to go fast" You know we're not talking about the standard Continental here right? This is the the one that's got "SUPERSPORTS" in the name!!
And you're right, it's not about lap times, it's mostly about acceleration and power... Yet, it was a top shelf, fastest Bentley ever with a big, sophisticated, twin turbocharged V (or W) 12 with less power than a cheap little Corvette running a humble supercharged pushrod V8.
“but look at the way it changes directions” *proceeds to cutoffs of the car making turns, which makes it impossible to see it actually turning*
i'd never buy an aston martin damn, bentley all the way
FiFAViDZ4You why not
@@samlawts1193 In 2010 aston cars was extremely expensive, nothing mind blowing inside and they can´t win any race vs others GT. At least this bentley is fastest and more easy to drive fast too
@@FEGTTTSDH Very true, however, they also looked and sounded better than bentleys. On top of that they were much more fun to drive and were more reliable. They also have a much cooler badge in my opinion. Thoughts?
Paddleshift gearboxes are a type of automatic gearbox. It operates exactly like an Automatic gearbox on the road, only there is a mode in which you can tell the car when to change gear by pushing the paddles behind the wheel. There is no clutch pedal. Once in Automatic mode the car shifts by itself. In short, if it has no clutch pedal, it's not a manual.
Its not just a gimmick. There is a reason that Rolls, BMW 7 series etc. use V12 engines. Not because they are supposed to be fast race cars, but because its smooooooooooooth and it just delivers power relentlessly. It has massive torque and because its so smooth you never really feel that you are pushing the engine when going on the road. Even when you accelerate fast. That is what you want in a super luxury car. And that is what the W12 is build for.
Does anybody know the name of the song at the end?
i want to know it too
Hans Zimmer - The Final Interview
Boutazzout Samir thanks a lot!
Boutazzout Samir he said the ending song it not the same
Boutazzout Samir plz give me the name of the song in 7:27
I think everyone here would prefer the Bentley over the Aston Martin...Right?
no
MICOLE WHYTE Your english arent you?
Aston Martin
i prefer the Aston tbh
Sure....😂😂😂
Bently > Aston
+Aaron Richards Oh but I would go for the Morgan aero 8 in an instant because it's dangerous
I'm wathing in Poland and i love both their jokes and refferences to our country. God save the Queen and the Polish people.
I totally agree with jermeny on this one .. the Continental is good looking and strong and all but id totally prefer a dbs or v12 vantage over it
Give me the Mercedes S-Coupe 65 AMG
It's a tradeoff. I can tell you one thing though. I'll eat up tires pretty quickly as heavy as it is. Heavy vehicles are so hard on tires, you usually end up with a separated belt if you drift on rough surfaces/cracked pavement.
I love the last seen of the exhausted boxer
it’s so meaningful ❤
the camera play in the last scenes about the overlapping cars was astounding
Just saw this ep. a few days ago on a BBC America Top Gear marathon. Personally, I have never liked shows about cars. One day I was flipping through channels and I saw three guys in some outlandish vehicles driving across a Syrian desert (season 15 Special ep.) and had to watch. Now I DVR the show whenever it's on. It's one of my favorite shows on TV. I even bought a notebook to jot down some of Jeremy's quotes like the one about the car's interior mentioned at the start of this clip.
I love the fact that Bentley is owned by VW and that they are very good cars and beautifuly made, but still this is too heavy and it isn't sort of bentlyish to make sports cars, and I'm sure that this is the reason behind Jeremys conclusion.
Awesome review. Love top gear.
The best thing is the old original British music on 00.58
@NickDG14 More to the point, the Camaro is actually Australian underneath. It's not that America doesn't make good cars, we just don't make cars. The small Fords come from Mazda and Volvo and are built in Germany. What pisses me off is that when the Bugatti Veyron came out, everyone was focused on the top speed, thus the SSC Ultimate Aero. What no one understood is that the Bugatti was the fastest AND most luxurious car in the world, but SSC only went after the top speed...then lost again.
6 litre w12? Very powerful! But the weight took all the charm away... The top speed is tremendous too!
Lol @ dogs with wheel joke love the vid keep up the good work
Hi, I'm an Italian boy, I follow every day your program and I would like to compliment you do with the services very useful. Thank you.
Nicola Introna.
They make so beautiful reviews. Oh God I love it!
Song at 0:55 is "opaque - hildur gudnadottir"
@posteldudedb I like the car too, despite never driving it. It was a perfect car in Hot Pursuit's gauntlets or HP events since you could ram stuff off the road.
This why top gear is best show on earth , because its not just a car show it has everything in it and this video is one of the examples
I saw one of these cars a few days ago drving down the road. It was so wide nothing else could get past it, for that reason I'd probably go for the Aston Martin too.
The background music and cinematography... Poetry 👌😍❤️❤️
I may be wrong, but I believe the Bentley backseat is fairly full size. It's not like the backseat on a Porsche 911 or a Mustang. I think a person up to six feet tall fits back their comfortably. I'll double check. The backseat on the Ferrari FF is also full size.
I respect the videographers and the editors of TG as much as I respect its presenters, because they are true artists.
Ahhh. The Infuego from Saints Row the Third is based on this car. Wish I had it SOOO BAD now!
that music at the beginning is frickin' BADASS
The last 40 seconds of total awesomeness. Love every second!
You are right Jeremy!
I'm watching from Poland and i have no idea what a water boatman is
I will never get tired of watching Jeremy Clarkson throw a Bentley around a corner. It's fun.
