I saw this color in person and was blown away of how nice it is in the Florida sun. Good to know the name finally lol.
That color is very attractive
what is the name? loved to know!

Man I would die for this car or a Ferrari 812 Superfast. My 2 dream cars I don’t ask for much I just want one of them either one and my life is complete. Don’t want anything else in the World
I would love too see this color on the new Flying Spur
There is something about a Bentley that just seems more at home with the needs of a family. Who new a GT could also appeal to keeping a young child happy. The car is quiet, suspension is soft and yet if there is ever an emergency you'll be there in a flash. Who knew, the continent crossing powerhouse is also a luxurious cosy family wagon!
Seems like a totally different driving experience to the GTC4 Lusso. For daily driving, it fundamentally comes down to whether you value driving dynamics over comfort. Given you have the family friendly and bonkers Gemera incoming, I would be inclined to side with the Bentley. Look forward to seeing the next contender.
To be honest, with the Gemera no other car is needed.. it does everything. The only sensible car addition would be a e350d estate or a bmw 540d touring..
@@inchskater the gemera is a long time out still
I have had both and the Ferrari is the better car. Let's not discuss wether this is meant to be a drivers' car or a comfortable long-distance traveller. The Ferrari is just more solid and well engineered and Ferrari customer service is on a totally different planet to that of Bentley. I love the Bentley marque and I am an old and loyal customer but the company is no longer the venerable, olde English company of yore and the Ferrari is undoubtedly the better car.
@@inchskater you need a other car because you would be stupid to put miles on a multi-million car.. for special occasions only..
@ yet we are lucky there are many stupid people that share their special car with us.
Continental with a glass panoramic roof please
Man, what a dilemma to have. I'm considering getting my rear brake hoses done as an advisory from last mot.
If you try and take a 16 month old on a "dynamic driving adventure" you're gonna have alot of screaming and vomit
A voice of sanity in the fast lane of road rage...IMO
I loved it in my early days😍
Very true. Did it in my car. Sport and Dynamic with a twisty road = no screams but lots of vomit!
Taxi driver in Menorca threw it round a bit when my daughter was about 6 months old. Yup. Gave him 20 euro on top of fare to clean it up.
Back seat on windy roads is not fun even at my age IMO
How do you come up with so many ways of describing the beauty of the car so spontaneously?
If I'd been doing your job, I'd probably go like - " this so cool. This car cool. Yeah cool." for the entirety of the video.
Anyway, just great content mate. Keep rolling out the great content.
Wow again. Another stunner of a vehicle JWW. The detail in the interior is jaw dropping-the Chrome accent running across the dash and through the vents to the upper doors is one of the nicest design touches I can remember.
Thanks for the video. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed!
1 year and im going to sit in this car. Period. No way i let this life running without things like this.
Did you do it
@@vidopacic oh hell no but I got a nice car but nun close to the continental tho 😂
@@user-zm3wd6nj8l ayy man as long as you're happy I'ts the best car in the world!!
That colour really shows up road grime nicely!
I just sold my 2012 w12 black on white leather with the mulliner pkg. I really fell in love with Bentley. They make such a statement without having to do anything except casually drive it and I LOVE THAT.
Brilliant as always! As a parent, never underestimate how much leg room you'll need in the back to accommodate a good forward facing child seat, which propels their feet forward horizontally, especially as they grow. We didn't have much spare room in an X5 during that phase. Hope parenthood is going well!
Odd. I have plenty of space for child seats in my “lowly” 3 series touring. Never had any issue with leg space as my daughter got bigger. In fact sitting behind the drivers seat set for my 6ft 1, I still have plenty of legroom.
I drive GTC4Lusso v12 as a daily driver, and I enjoy it. I thought long and hard because this is my last daily car at age 58 and intend to drive into my 80"s and plan to make it the most driven Ferrari in the world. other cars I have in my garage GT3RS and SLS gullwing which are weekend cars. So, buy what your heart will be content with. best wishes and godspeed.
Great comment :)
Will you give them away 🤣🤣
@@imeprezime1069 sorry too late I already committed to my grand kids.
@@khalidaziz225 I was kidding, that is so nice to do to grandchildren, I have a grandparent like you myself(not rich), love him the most
you'r the best content creator in youtube your videos always bring joy and knowledge to my life it's always been a great pleasure to watch and the words you said about the interior of this car should be printed and published everywhere. Bentley definitely has the best interior ever in any car
Thanks so much, great to hear you enjoy it 🤙🏼
Lovely motor! Happy Driving.
Many Thanks, Peace From London. 🙏🙏
Finally someone who uses the term "daily driver" in reference to a product where it makes sense. An actual CAR!!. Great review.
You made a good point about the interiors. I’ve been lucky enough to spend some time in both Bentleys and RRs recently and both myself and the drivers agreed the Bentley interior quality is superior. The RRs have plastic removable flimsy cup holders, the leather feels thin and a not on Bentley’s level
Bentley suits you more. End of conversation.
@Mr JWW, I have 2 kids and I'm in the same boat as you. I've had a GT3, and now an R8 Plus. I'm currently exploring either a 2017/18 Porsche Panamera Turbo (or Sport Turismo Turbo), Mercedes E63 AMG, Mercedes S63 Coupe, or Audi RS7. Being a couple years old, a nice chunk of that initial depreciation is eaten up already. Although there is still plenty of room for these sedans to come down, it's a much more palatable depreciation to eat while enjoying an amazing car. I too can never see myself buying any of these machines brand new. Admittedly, I'm a Porsche fan boy and I've already owned a Panamera Turbo S in the past, of which was truly an unbelievable daily driver. With the air suspension it would be buttery smooth when the kids were in back, and in Sport Plus it would come down an inch and handle like a Porsche does. Truly an all-around sports sedan. Plus it had all the luxury of high end leather, carbon fiber, Burmester sound, etc etc. It's hard to beat a Panamera Turbo S after a few years of depreciation. Such great value. For context, I owned a 2015 model with 30k miles that had a 240k MSRP, and I drove it for around 12k miles and lost around $8500 for the year in depreciation.
The audio (vs Porsche Turbo S video) is much better thanks to your lapel microphone!... 👍🙏
P.S. That Bentley Continental GT is awesome! It's a very elegant specification... I've always loved that car and the W12 version makes it that much better!..
This spec is absolutely beautiful 🤤🤤
That color is 👌🏽👌🏽
1000th comment. That's all I wanted to say.
Edit : Bentley is absolutely outstanding and mindblowing. What a brand... What a spirit.
English are above everything and everybody on this point.
And I speak as a frenchman, and we know it's not always the big love between us 😉
But wow wow wow. Congratulations guys.
This is true spirit of sport and elegance in one car. And not the disgusting ostentatious luxury of some others brands.
Vive Bentley, vive l'Angleterre, et longue vie à la Reine !
I have to say that this is all round the best looking car on the market right now! Everything is amazing about it!
The interior of the Continental makes the Lusso's look like a 1995 Daewoo.
I like the spec on that. They look so much better de-chromed. I’d have the V8 though.
Personally I prefer them with chrome, it´s just classy
The w12 gives it more personality in my opinion
I'd go with the chrome
Juan Ordóñez Galbán it also gives it a heavier nose.
I agree with you there , de-chromed with a v8
love coming along for the ride man. it's also a blessing to embrace the abundance of the world and go through your first world problems with you. hahahaha. all learning for me when I get there. hahahah fact!
I had a 2014 W12 and it was a super nice ride. This one is even nicer.
I think you should give the Mercedes s63 coupe a shot.
It's a big ugly whale of a car. Nowhere nearly as nice or as dynamically capable as the Bentley, and there are like 1.3 exterior colors to choose from, most of which are shades of grey.
@@runnyeggyolk6347 that's not true. Who knows where you bought that from
Depreciation is horrible on the s63
@@runnyeggyolk6347 objectively not true. & Chris Harris called it the best GT car available.
@@henkka3931 a plus as he's buying used
That color mate!!
This is the one - my No. 1 car of 2020 - 1st choice. No doubt at that price bracket. You get so much for your money - and the looks! OMG! I prefer the chrome exterior trim
Great video man
Have you thought about the Aston Martin Rapide S you can find examples of later year cars here in America for under $100k usd with relatively low miles
Im about to pick up one of these in Munich next week and drive it all the way to Sweden. Can't wait!
Great video!! Aston Martin Rapide S? They’ve already done a lot of depreciation and theres room for a kid in the back.
Only a true petrol head would understand what you are talking about here and that’s what makes the content so brilliant, keep it up 👍
Wraith Black Badge next James. That's the one I'd say.
I would wait. Considering the next generation wraith will be released in a year or two.
Try the DBS Superleggera please🙏🏻
The rear seats are useless
You convinced me to make this car as my collection over the Aston Martin DB11, with comfortable rear seats that has low centre console, not like a cocoon cockpit hihi.. the pedal shifters should follow the Ferrari design. Moreover now it has the V8, really really marvellous.. thanks bro..🤓💪💕
Hi I'm a new subscriber for your channel.
From Philippines🇵🇭
I don’t have kids so I don’t know, but will putting a kid in a car seat into the rear of a two-door get annoying after awhile?
He said in the Lusso video that's it won't be replacing the family car. So he'll probably won't be putting a seat in all the time
No, they tend to fall asleep in the back! And when they are not, you keep them occupied with a DVD screen and their favourite cartoon!
That’s fair, but the more prominent problem is how well a human being of any age would handle the accelerations this car is capable of, while not being able to see outside. I don’t think I’ve ever been car sick, but I think I would if I were small and stuck in the back of this with zero visibility.
@@mravi97 Very good point! Some kids will not stop crying because they can't see what's happening. I think the Flying Spur or Bentayga is a better option.
idk but im pretty sure you can leave the seat in and just pick up the baby
you're selling your F12TDF with an amazing sounding V12, so getting a GTC4LUSSO would be a good choice. Now it is just up to your son, he might not like the loud noise since he is still so young. Whatever car you choose, your son's comfort is still very important, otherwise he will just feel uncomfortable and your wife will not be ok either.
Great video ! Maserati next please 🤩🔥
I not generally a fan of these but in this colour and spec makes it look pretty special.
James, look at a Wraith, you loved the Dawn!
I think the Wraith has the same problem for James as this car. Too much of a comfortable car and not enough of a drivers car.
@@jryalls It's also giant.
The humble brag on these looking for a daily driver vids is level 10 trillion ...🤣🤣🤣🤣
this car rocks man, i'd love to be able to buy one someday .....
Great video mate
Thats cool my man, but just get a volvo
Vid Opačić true no need for insane cars like this on a daily driver.
Y
Yes, a V90 cross country T6 fully loaded (with adaptive suspension and massage/vented nappa seats)
Mate, all the teeshirt/facial hair/cool shades in the world can't stop the fact that you are now a family man with wife & kid (darling, yes, but still ball & chain) and that your days of Larry-on-the-town are past tense.
Ahh just a bunch of poor people like me trying to convince themselves...
RS6 might be a good shout mate..
That would be my choice for a _'just over'_ £100k car.
He's already owned one
Epic video/vlog again. A true insight to one of Britains finest achievements and designs. As beautiful as the Bentley is, it just doesn’t push the excitement button for me. I’d prefer the new Porsche 911 Turbo over this. Don’t think the Porsche has isofix though? Haha. Are you considering the 2020 RS6? You can make a perfect comparison having owned, driven and modified the previous RS6 performance.
That colour is just stunning
The V8 would be the GT for me. But I’d still buy the Lusso
The V12 Lusso is just not even in the same league as this car even tho similar in price. Ferrari V12 is just too good.
Same, i will take the lusso over the gt..
AMG gt 4-door Sir !
63s specifically
Rebadge the Merc CLS as an AMG and add £100k - got to be the worst value car on the market ... Would make for an interesting video though
I personally prefer the E63S. A bit more practicality.
James Hibbert You don’t know what your talking about, I suggest you stop posting.
@@jryalls 😂😂😂 yes, Sir !!! 🧐
Much Love Mr.Jww
I was so excited for this vid
I hope it didn’t disappoint 👍🏻
Mr JWW dw very comprehensive so I’ve now gained a lot of knowledge from this one car. Also helpful as I’ve only just got interested by cars recently👍🏼
you can spec a chrome lower grill
So gotta pay to get them to match?
no you definitely can't
@@danielbustos16 yeah
yeah you can
@@evodesignsracing5925 its called the bright lower grill option
Get a 992 Turbo as a daily
The rear isn't big enough for what he needs
Adam kids are fine in a 911. Of he wants adults in the rear that a different thing.
shelloiluk not sure if it would fit a baby seat tho
992 Turbo is a daily supercar but it ain't as practical as ferrying your kids around for the first few years with the baby seat
He want something for the long-term when the kid can still ride in from baby-sit to pre-school
Cracking review and car James, honestly I really dislike the colour and the plastic front grill which would look awesome in titanium!
"You'll note that that matches up precisely with..." not even itself.
I think the opposite in terms of styling, the rear styling is fantastic, and the front a bit of a 'challenge'!
Agreed on the interior, its a masterpiece, the optional centre display is a must.
Don't forget to consider the AMG GT 4 door coupé 😉
I’m 6 foot even. I’ve ridden in the backseat of a 2003 Honda Civic coupe and it’s a little cramped but, it’s not miserable on a 1 hour trip. Even though it’s an economy car, it’s a more comfortable backseat than an Infiniti G35 coupe.
Epic wafter... Fantastic cabin and attention to detail James.... But GTC4 for me.
really seems like you just need to get an e63s wagon for the daily
Yeah
He’s considering sporty GT’s cause he only has 1 kid at the moment, that comes with the 2nd kid arrives and a dog to boot in the boot!
I would suggest the panemera gt
Nah ///M5
RS6>e63
Perhaps the AMG GT63 4door?
I agree the back is a week point in the design. Great colour though
Love the spec of this Conti James. In terms of the back seats have you considered the new Flying Spur? It looks epic in the video on Harry's Garage channel. Also will you consider a Rolls Royce?
AMG GT 63s is what I'd like to see you try out.
try the taycan .
and why thinking about driving pleasure in the bentley, since it wouldnt be the only car you have, and the gt3 or ferrari are still in picture and available anytime for you. bentley is clearly oriented on comfort, you can't expect sharp handling from a 2.3t boat.
Porsche Panamera Turbo - lots of space , amazing driving dynamics and comfortable when you need it to be.
Either this or an M8 Gran coupe would be awesome! 🔥
My top pic, after seeing both this and the Ferrari video is... A RS6 Avant😅
Not really a fan of the new RS6. Audi really messed up with all the touch screens and humongous piano black on the dash. I prefer the old one. James' merlin purple RS6 was the perfect spec.
I think you shouldn’t have started with the Lusso cuz everything else after is just blah....
can´t help but the headlights remind me of my 1998 Toyota Corolla. I am pretty sure that´s what a Bentley owner wants to be reminded of. Well there you go;)
M8 Competition Gran Coupe could be an alternative? Possibly a bit too ‘mainstream’ however, it would certainly provide the driving dynamics and the motorway cruise ability! Looking forward to seeing the other alternatives 👌🏼
I don't like the colour because it doesnt go with the black rims and accents. It makes the car look old.
I really liked the bronze color which would have looked similar but I agree the black rims really seem to age it. It would be interesting to see what it looks like with "normal" rims and retaining the black accents.
Your son might want to look out of the window because thats whazs interesting and in the bentley the windows are quite small. Especially in the back. And if you go on trips your wife or you might want to sit next to him if he's bored so you can play something.
What a lovely spec as well
The Audi RS6 is the perfect daily, it has all the power, performance, quality, class and the practicality you need. You had one before & you raved about it then, the latest iteration is even better.
What about the Porsche Panamera Turbo?
- Would take the V8 over the W12
Nicolai Gronborg You really can‘t compare these two cars. The Continental is more luxury, the Panamera is more sporty.
Sounds to me you’re hard selling this to Mrs JWW🤣
😂
Look no further! This is my current favorite coupe and it would be excellent as a daily driver. Really can't think of anything more appealing for a DD.
I love this spec! The only thing I would want to change is I would want a white interior
You should test drive the BMW M8 GC 😉
Would the Mercedes AMG Gt 63 4 door be a good solution for your needs?
Might be quite rough for a family car. It's a cool thing nonetheless.
Yes, S63 Coupe - the AMG is an overly expensive Merc CLS - terrible value
James Hibbert You’re talking out your arse. The AMG GT63 4 was developed by AMG from the ground up and has more in common with the AMG GT than the CLS, it also has an S Class interior. The S63 is a Mercedes that’s had the AMG treatment.
@@jryalls It's a slightly longer E63s with less practicality and a much bigger price tag and worst ride.
@@jryalls incorrect; it's built off the E class platform.
Performance wagon would be so awesome! (RS6, Sport Turismo, E63S Estate, 5 series Alpina Touring, etc.)
You should try the Porshe Taycan turbo, because you would save a lot of money on fuel and you could still enjoy the handling. Also, after using that car as a daily you would always look forward to jumping in one of your other combustion engine cars to experience their sound
James... have you installed a rear facing child seat in the GTC4 or this and seen whether they actually fit? 😂🤷♂️😏
Tom Johnson yeah, like how Tyler Hoover swapped his E63 wagon for a Range Rover LWB for that exact reason. Isofix doesn’t necessarily mean the child seats will fit behind the front seats.
Gt 63s 4 Door!
The new flying spur is also very nice
I love the colour!!! 😮
Just saying I wouldn't want to be cleaning your kid's vomit out of the stitching on those seats after a 'dynamic driving adventure' 🤮
Is it me all these youtubers been completely out of touch with reality recently
This guy prattling on about his new mega bucks daily driver is embarrassing.
@@hughes3947 Jealous. 😂
Lightning Farron nope.
nope. you’re just poor
Color is just SO cool!
I'd think a M5 Comp is most probably the ideal daily driver, though I do have a soft spot for the Panamara Sport Turismo Turbo & AMG 63s 4 door.
I think you need a new mic james
I'm enjoying this series on the while-waiting-for-the-Gemera daily driver.
Yes, because you will be daily driving the Gemera, RIGHT ?? 😉
Love the Continental.
It's on a lower level when compared to the GTC4 though.
And those years of free maintenance on the Ferrari... 🤔
This fantastic automobile deserves the daily driving of TH-cam royalty, Mr. JWW! Maybe the V8 would be more of a sporty feel? Love the colour, but maybe a light coloured interior. Ad then the Cote de Genéve centre console - perfect match to the AP watch!😀
Yeah I actually like the V8 would be the one - perhaps I’ll try one soon!
Great video & love the colour of the car, but I think the car would look better without the black pack though!
