After 15 years, Bentley has finally replaced the long-serving Continental GT with a sleeker, curvier and more modern version. But does it still have that special Bentley magic? James Batchelor gets behind the wheel to find out.

A plastic radiator grille on a expensive Bentley😱. That will be for safety frontal impact for if you ever hit a pedestrian head on.
I am saving £20 a week so i can afford to buy this car by the end of...2087 😂
U would need to save more than double of that so you have enough to get one.
@@lukaposeidon8490 not if u take depreciation into account.
@@therealones1000 Which means if he waits till 2087 he can just buy it with less than the 20 he saved the first week.
Amazing! If bentley has managed to make a center screen with three faces, that are all 360 degrees apart, they must be operating in a higher dimension. Very impressive.
If I won the lotto I would be at the local Bentley showroom ordering this car in the exact same colour. It’s absolutely beautiful. Thanks James.
This guy is so British that when he speaks I can only see a giant walking cup of tea in a hand with the pinky finger pointing to the sky.
AT LEAST HE DOESN'T MUMBLE LIKE A LOT OF THE BRIT REVIEWERS DO. MAT WATSON COMES TO MIND, CAN'T LISTEN TO HIM.
Is the 2-Litre bottle of water test in the side door bins, relevant? I’ve driven many cars large, and small, and I don’t think I’ve ever walked a away from a vehicle due to its inability to carry large amounts of water in the doors. For £202,000 frankly, I would expect someone to meet me at every stop with a camel.
Thank you James for making me want have one of these...
My favorite car in production today. Amazing machine.
03:50 Veneers do match up in all three BC's I've seen, as on this one too. It only happens on the dials side. Probably because the wood is real, so only one side can match up -the one you see when you're IN the car. Otherwise we'd have reason to suspect the grain is printed.
Even Louis Vuitton can't get monogram to click on every side of the trunk, it's got to be off or inverted somewhere.
the veneers dont match up perfectly, because the next sequenced sheet of veneer was used on one of the other two sides. That is as close as it could get
Real beauty! ...inside out! I will appreciate basic Technical specs on a PC screen ...and current price
James I'm not a real fan of the way you do things in your reviews but one thing for sure is that you have a different personality to all other petrol head reviews and you just bring something different and classy to vehicle reviews. Good job and keep it up.
Good Review - I really love the shape of the Continental and unlike other cars within the VW group it, it has retained some originality, in essence it still feels like a Bentley.
James. Pls say "winguardian levi osa" 😂
Amazing I love this car
Great review, well presented and enjoyable. Thanks
Keep up the great work James! Great review & like your own individual style with things. Well done 👍🏿
Did you say “PLASTIC” MESH GRILL?!!!! You better be able to option that out! What a mistake on a GT car like this.
you can!
You gotta spend two thousand on an aftermarket that Bentley dosent make...
But yes plastic, even the bently truck has plastic
It's probably so you don't kill anybody in a crash
And those things that hand you the seat belt, the housing around it …. plastic !!!
Good and informative review James.
Great review. Thanks James
I can't believe they'd let the ski hatch come off in your hand !
(great review as usual James)
What a beautiful colour though! I remember seeing the first generation (pre-facelifted) Continental GT here in Banja Luka (my hometown), about 10 years ago. It was driven by a guy from Montenegro and was painted in a colour similar to McLaren's Volcano Orange and my goodness, was it absolutely gorgeous!
One if the few cars where the interior isn’t full of cheap plastic, and the power of the car is there, it’s a fucking luxurious tank!
My eyes couldn't unsee the insta-vignette effect on the video at around 0:50 😂
I'm really sorry for jumping into this, but if you have kids and you love the Bentley, you really need to check this out lol. Thank me later!
Bentley & Naim, what a marriage!
I am beginning to like James now. Was hit and miss at first. Well done chap!
What a car. Stunning. The Continental GT has been reviewed on TH-cam in Red, Blue and now this green one. All stunning. Not sure the tan leather looks good. I hope I can afford this one day.
if it were hinged (the back compartment lid for the skies) it would have had to have either very very strong hinges to support quite a bit of weight, probably around 20 kgs at least or it would have the leather squashed against the rear console where the cup holders are. you'd be left with scuffed and deformed leather. I am glad it isn't hinged !
This is the best interior and exterior color combination.
Thanks good insight
Posh, lad does a good job,explaining this car..great motor..
Excellent presentation
Good review, James
The reason this GT handles better than the last one is because the engine used to sit in front of the front axle, now most of it is behind the axle, thereby, reducing understeer.
What a stunning looking car! And in this shade of green it looks even better!
Absolutely the best review of the Continental GT. It took an English Gentleman to produce it. Blessings and Happy New Year! Long Live the Queen.
Epic car. Drove one and it was just sublime in every single way.
Very nice
But where does my large packet of crisps go?
Good video. Somehow makes me think of Quentin Willson from old Top Gear
James Batchelor reminds me of Quentin Willson. Nice motor.
Reason why carwow is zooming past you in every aspect is because Matt is honest in reviews were you guys are literally on the manufacturers 🏀
Great review of a car - let's face it - very few of us will ever drive or own.
Murray's Back! :D
Beautiful British sporting green!!
same location as Matt's review?
thank you Bentley for creating such an amazing car
Carwow make a better review of this baby
It's not hinged to make more room for your skiing equipment (at-least I think so).
Is That one the same road that car wow uses ??
NICE REVIEW TEAM CARBUYER! KEEP IT UP!
You can buy a MK 1 2004 for £11.000.up to £27.000 what makes this car different is its Porsche suspension,and handibililty,and fuel consumption.
Please do a head to head against the Rolls Royce wraith and Aston DB11

What colour is this?
Not a patch on the Magnificent S53-class coupe
You do the 2019 model, then the 2018
I just know this is a dream.
2:02 is it really 360 degrees though?
James, when are you guys doing the Mulsanne, pleaseeeeeeeeeeee
Kindly review the new Bentley Flying Spur
A whole review of the car interior from 1 perspective. Could have used more camera angles.
I am convinced this channel exists so that this guy can drive cool cars.
Am I the only one that sees some competition between his channel and carwow?
The V8 and V6 hybrid will be from porsche.
AppLeCLuTCH I think the V8 will come from Audi
In the original books James Bond drove a Bentley.
I guess it's a pre production car
youre so right.........
Why did he not mention AMG?
Guiness world record for "the most expensive bbq grill in history"
WHAT A COLOUR GUYSSSS....
Great review. Loved it. Keep it up.
In the original books about 007 James Bond drove a Bentley .
James Batchelor is the new 007 ..
When you buy Carwow on AliExpress...
Plastic grill and the interior is not a patch on the previous model, and those rear lights look just weird.
You're left in no doubt that this is a footballers car.
Or a phantom Coupe
The Phantom is at least double the price...
西洋の人は細かいラインのズレとか部分的なパーツの安っぽさ気にしないのか、と思ってたけどツッコんでくれてて超安心した。
やっぱみんな思ってたのね。
This guy is a Budget Mat Watson.
Thank you, James. In the event that I could afford one, I'm afraid those niggles you pointed out would annoy me too, and send me in the direction of the Ferrari Roma.
Why does your review feel like @carwow
bring in mat
The Bentley Continental GT is a 2+2!
That is difficult market for Bentley.
No sunroof?!
Stop with the lens flares, FXs and stuff! Let us see the car already...! Anyway... Great review! :)
It's astounding how great a luxury GT this car is and how good it looks and the how ugly the Bentayga is in comparison. Nicely spotted with the veneers not lining up - I am quite sure that this detail is something that will be noted by Bentley since it is far from unsolvable. Good reveiw.
It looks like 1.5L Volvic water not 2L bottle. ;)
My coach has this car
lol; 1 of the options is almost the same price as my 2nd hand BMW =D
What alternate universe is this? Where’s Mat Watson? Who’s this guy?
Quentin Wilson's son?
The camera is badly placed as it doesn't show the details of the car
Perfect for old grunters...
😂👍
BHP + lb/ft or KW + Nm....pick 1 set ...dont mix and match!!!!
I see you have no idea what the color of the car is. Its always good to mention the gorgeous paint work, try better next time
The dials should be not fake digital
Driver's car the upcoming V8? The W12 is what sets it apart from the S63 Coupe. I'd rather have that than a V8 Continental GT
plastic grille ? seriously doubt it being plastic.
That bottle was not two litres
