Dammit, I've been searching for a silver/grey continental with the dark red / "Cricket-ball" interior for ages, and not one has come to market. And yet here you are with the ideal combination !!!! Congratulations of getting yours though.
I was fortunate enough to own an older (2008) flying spur. That was the most impressive,competent vehicle I've ever owned,or been associated with, and in the 26 years I was in the motor trade I drove quite a few. This new GT is amazing, and obviously a massive leap forward. 😍😍
Yes...i feel sorry for the many sleepless nights the nanny will have! James...on the other hand will have very few sleepless nights...unless it's keeping his wife happy.
Why not take the Bentley on a road trip to one of the Hebrides? See how it handles those tiny, undulating little roads on Skye or Mull? It'd be hard not to make a great film there
Awesome Video bro! I just bought one! Traded in my Rolls Royce Wraith for one. And I LOVE it! Just back from Road Trip Round SCOTLAND (1,500 miles), AMAZING! Super luxury but also brings a massive grin when you want to push on and have some fun! Probably the best car I've ever owned! Always looking for an excuse to go for a drive!
Congrats on the new addition to the family. Love the reviews and content. I would love to see a TDF and Carrera GT head to head from a driving experience.
What a gentle beast of a machine. Definitely matches your style and personality. Not that an 812 wouldn’t also, mind you, but definitely seeing the CGT in a different light. Those turbos whistling away...crazy stuff!
The Bling Spot Monitoring system is similar to what I have on the SQ5, the flashing usually only happens when you steer or try to make a lane change when there's a car in your blind spot, otherwise it just stays as a solid yellow light if you're staying in your lane and someone is in your blind spot. If it's flashing every time a car passes by then there might be an issue with the system. Great video!
Its a shame the rears seats arn't generous enough. Was the previous version any better? I wonder if Bently would consider doing a version with a slightly longer wheelbase to make it a proper grand tourer? Who knows, it may steal sales from the 8 series BMW.
James= Shows sophistication driving a Bentley, very well spoken... Listens to Five Finger Death Punch! What a legend! Could imagine you head banging in your Bentley
630 hp. That's 400 more than you need for modern driving conditions - Germany also. Rather a waste of money, in my opinion and I was practically born in the back of a Bentley.
the improvement you have shown from your early videos is both immense - early on you were like the other "wannabe's" ( insert here those names of TH-camrs who shriek with glee at exhaust noises, those TH-camrs who are attempting to overcome various degrees of unfortunate speech impediments, those TH-camrs born with a silver spoon, and those TH-camrs who just don't get it ) and now you tell it like you see it ( insert here names like Chris Harris, Henry Catchpole, Steve Sutcliff, and a few more ). While you may not yet be quite the race drivers as the latter group you are improving at a far more rapid rate than, for example, I probably ever could. Your videos are clear and concise and for the vast majority very pleasant to watch. I. as a long time subscriber, thank you and look forward to the future.
The interior of this car is gorgeous. Didn't look like you were having much fun on the track but it wasn't meant to be. Great video over all, keep up the good work.
I have an 18 month old and have the same issues with rear facing versus front facing. I ended up not trading in my 981 Spyder for a Macan (I'm still devastated! ;-) ) as it (Macan) has the same issues as you describe here. The reality is that for the first 12-18 months with a rear facing capsule you need a car with proper rear seat room. And that means a full length car. Now at 18 months front facing ia not always the yee-ha problem solved situation either. As in a front facing seat until their legs are long enough to bend over the edge of the seat they stick out straight and cause a similar issue/kick the back of the front seat. And I don't want a huge car like a Cayenne. The Panamera I think would be the perfect family car for the young family car enthusiast. It has the length and the storage and the non SUV handling. I've come to the conclusion that along with heaps of stuff to carry, a mum that wants to sit in the back with baby that make mess, my 2001 Citroen C5 is going to suffice until we are out of booster chairs. If I had to buy a new car now, unfortunately it won't be a Macan (too small) or a Panamerra (too expensive), the Audi R/S5 sportback or R/S/A6 sedan or Wagon seem to be the size that you need in the price range of can handle some vomiting child in it.
I'd recommend any young family wait until their kids aren't spilling milk, raisins and cookie crumbs around their carseats before buying this car, lol.
I love the GT (Is the rear view mirror any use as it looks like a very small back window?) do you think this type of car has any future in this world of lowering emissions? How are they going to change?
The market seems to be moving towards smaller, heavily turbocharged engines with a hybrid system. Not sure that's what bently will do though. It'll be sad to see large engine go away, but they might make a comeback once we get passed some of hydrogens issues and start replacing batteries with Hydrogen ICE's.
The upload that I was waiting for since the day you bought it!! Another amazing vlog +mrjww . Was totally involved when you were explaining your 1000 mile journey!!
ғɪʟʟ 1ɴ ᴛ҉ ʜ3 ʙʟᴀɴᴋs the Rolls Royce wraith is the best luxury GT thus far, trust me I’ve been in bother and a Bentley is nice and makes a nice sound but the are very British (they break easily) and are to much money for what they are and they depreciate so much so quickly. Aston’s have unfortunately gone they same way in my opinion they don’t break as easy but they are not what they were and for they money you’re better of getting a Ferrari (old or new), where as RR have true luxury and seriously over a trip across the US or Europe the RR is better, and if you want speed they have enough, and if you’re going to say it’s not as sporty fair enough but it’s not in the class of Super GT’s so it has to be compared to what is in its class and to say the least it’s a all rounder from birth which means compromise from birth unlike a RR or anything Italian. And the best GT in the world apart from some old Ferrari’s and new RR’s it would be a Bugatti.
sam smith His voice was always like that because I believe he just uses the mic of the camera he’s using as he says it epitomizes the feel of like when we are side to side with him in real life. I did comment before that it would be way better to have invested in a mic.
@@datujaasserzachariaivcanda7848 oh ok, strange cause the videos are always so well shot but the audio quantity doesn't match. Makes my ears feel like they've been on an aeroplane.
Seriously, this car has it all and has been one of my dream cars for a long time. I'd like to know how it compares to some contemporary GT cars on a track. Say, compared to some other British or German GT cars?
No comment on your spec it's personal. Needs more HP like 800, 700+ at least. A 3 sec 0-100 km time probably coming in a SuperSport config. Should have improved tech like sideview and rearview cameras with rear wheel steering. Those additions would make it the undisputed king of the GT class.
Why would she be scrunched up in the passenger rear seat when she can move the passenger front seat up as much as she likes because.....it should be empty! Are you saying the roof is too low? I know in the previous model that wasn't the case unless you were well over 6 foot. Edit: Oh I see the car seat positioning is the issue.
Oh, we can hear the turbos whistle. It's a bit like the Hyuareeeya! in that sense. It's not a beautiful sound, but you can't help but be emotionally enveloped by the beast.
To me, Bentley is like Aston Martin. Great cars, but I personally don't understand the point of them. They don't do anything great, but they do everything good. Basically a jack of all trades. But for me if I wanted speed, I'd go with a Bugatti or if something closer to that price range I'd go with a 720S. If I wanted comfort, I'd go with a Rolls Royce Wraith and if I really wanted the best of both worlds (without 4 seats though) I'd go with the 812 Superfast or even better a Chiron. I'm kind of a one or the other kind of person. I have hypercars for when I want to go fast, and I have my Wraith and Phantom when I want comfort. Edit: To be fair though and to show I'm not biased, I do own a Bentley Continental GT3-R and an Aston Martin DBS Superleggera. Although I never really drive them. Mainly just use them as cars for when I have friends or family staying with me and they need a car to drive around.
To many a Bentley is a drivers luxury car a Rolls-Royce isn't. A chiron is multi million dollar car. The 720s has nothing to do with a Bentley apples and oranges.

This car suits you well...
It really is a living with the CGT video. B-roads, family, track. Epic mix of content. Thank you James.
Congrats on the newborn mate. Enjoy those sleepless nights!
Yes...i feel sorry for the many sleepless nights the nanny will have! James...on the other hand will have very few sleepless nights...unless it's keeping his wife happy.

You should get it together with Shmee’s GTC Lusso for a comparison. More of. Bentley man myself but would be an interesting match up

This is NOT a family car. I suspect everyone is aware of this.
Anything is a family car if you are rich enough
He has a massive Range Rover but his wife tried to squeeze in the back of this 😂
Don't usually like car videos, but you rock! Any Bentley continental makes me smile.
perheps a night ride to see the ambient lighning?
The best all round car you have and the interior is insane. Looking forward to more of everything in that best
The camera def DID pick up those turbo whistles. Sounds amazing!
The new Conti GT certainly has become more mature refined and posh than previous gen I've seen. Surely suits your personality and taste well..

Are you on your way to a MIG welding job? ;) Lovely motor
hey man, I like your glasses, specially the sideshields. Where did you by these ?
Would love to see a dinner series, you pick a car and guest go get food and talk about cars.
Lottery win and this car would be on my shopping list 👍🤓👍🍰

I'm guessing you changed cars for the track, I wounder how many missed the colour change lol
Amazing how the Mulliner spec changed colors on the road course

Next video how to remove baby puke from luxury leather car seats!......... lol
Is there any chance of bringing it to a Car & Coffee event in the not to distant future?? Does anyone know the name of the song in this vlog?
Does anyone know the brand of his jacket??
Where do you buy those jackets from?
Nice driving on the track!
As a daily, how does it compare to the RS6, practicalities aside?
What a cool way to cart around Young JWW
Are you bringing the bentley too goodwood or the tdf?????

Beautiful Cotswolds! Maybe do a road trip with Harry, or one like he did to the arctic circle and back.
this is my favorite car of 2019 !
The Bentley Continental in Blue full pic on the Bentley website looks allot like you driving it in the side pic showing the rear end also.
Love the leather interior, where did you get the specs. Cool.
That's my car too.
I did not know you also did welding tutorials .
Still rocking FFDP! Rock on James!
Thank you for that lap it was awesome thank you.
That e28 at 6:18 though...classic 👍
It's like a road yacht. It's the best luxury GT out there by a cross country mile.
Rolls Royce and Aston Martin are on notice.

Take it north! When you did the series with Michelin and drove a couple Aston Martins where they filmed Skyfall. Or to the Isle of Man.
Great vid as always but is your mic setup right? Cause some of your vids sound abit tinny, might be worth investing in a better mic.

Very classy design! A convertible variant would be insane.
They have one!
How are you liking the Macan?
Wish I could afford those Thom Browne glasses, they’re so fresh
Keep the car seat rear facing until he maxes out the size and weight limits for the rear facing position.
I am lucky enough to have driven the new GT at Bentley Bristol. It is an amazing car and any content with it is welcomed!
What happened to the 720?
How does Mr. JWW fit the baby seat ?? hahahahahaha (sorry... couldn't resist!)
Love the car, congrats in the new born, but where did you get the shades from me likie very much.
Fresh Content !!!
Anybody know what brand his jacket is? :-)
The glasses are back!
Surly those glasses are dangerous. They are like horse blinkers!
An anti-roll system has never been mentioned more in the history of its existence than it has now in the Mr JWW channel.
I am dying for Bentley to make a sports car.
A couple years ago they said something about it but it doesn't look like it's materialised into anything.
I mean...0-60 Is 3.6 with the V8....That's pretty sporty 😂
@@AshtonsCashin And.. It's a GT dynamically, not a sportscar. That's the difference.

So, if you put the child and child seat aside for a moment, how does the rear seat environment do for a regular adult? Like say 180cm tall?
Please do a video on ownership costs
I'm a simple man... I see Mr JWW new upload I instantly hit like!
Simple men don't watch super car channels!
Amazing car. A magic carpet on steroids!

Gosh, that thumbnail looks good.
@Mr JWW Suggestion: Ice race it next winter. I think that will really show it's dual nature! And be a heck of a lot of fun to boot! !!
How about an good old road trip withe the 3 others
The thought of letting either my 2 or 7 year old within 100 yards of that car brings me out in hives,
The one you drove on the track looks like the Porpoise interior.
whats happened to your Range rover ? You still have the Macan

10 speed dual clutch is the only option.
Man your sunglasses are always on point
