Because it needs to be functional before anything else, there's regulations and limits about its placement positon. ;) Same as with MX-5 redesign for example but they made an effort. And many other models.
@@JohnyMcNeal that's too logical but at least hide it somehow like VW group do or some other manufacturer, in this particular car I think it was not a full redesign just a face lift cuz before it it wasn't equiped with that radar
Yeah, but when you see how Genesis approaches this, it makes you wonder why Bentley (and Audi) do that. I mean, there has to be some sort of reason for it though. I've never seen a radar module shaped like a dome aside from something similar on Audi models.
They both have analog gauges/switches and a display in the center console. The Bugatti Tourbillon has a vertical retracting center display. In the Bentley, the central display can be rotated to reveal three analog gauges as Thomas demonstrates in the video.
Luxury buyers want tech. There’s a lot of functionality that comes with a digital cluster, and old gauges are just that…. Old…. Decisions like that are made by the market, not the manufacturers
What the heck were they thinking when they changed the headlights. Now it’s really giving Genesis which don’t get me wrong is a nice car, but this is 3x as expensive STARTING.
That radar placement is doing my head in. That kinda looks like an after thought. Surely they could have spent a little more time to find a more discreet placement
I dislike it. They should have either moved it below the grill or center it in the grill or perhaps hide it behind the grill. The only saving grace is it isn't that noticeable with a blacked out chrome grill.

The new design update is spot on. At first, I thought the changes were a bit underwhelming, but after seeing it next to the older model, they’ve refined rather than reinvented. Overall, I think it looks incredible-modern but still true to its roots
12:24 It is called cost cuttings mate, they already know that people do want physical touch for climate control, but they don’t care, only money matters.
A big compliment to your reviews. Your focus on detail provides a perspective that far exceeds the superficial comments most reviewers get from a brief test drive. Having the panamera turbo before and now the outgoing continental gt, your insights about them are spot on. Kudos.
Well I tend to like the facelift of vehicles coz of refining n improving what was previously not worth while of a vehicle bt for this I do like the prefacelift with the two headlights with a deployable spoiler. Looked way sexy than this face-lift bt the interior is worth it with the face-lift. That baby blue exterior on the convertible is a headturner for sure!
16:38 For a car of such craftsmanship, I feel that real "analogue" gauges for the driver would have added more value to the interior aesthetic, to go with their "digital detox" concept.
headlamps look a little incongruous with the rest of the car and almost apologetic. Maybe it makes sense in person but in some of the angles the extended lash part sticks out in not the best way

Hi Thomas, big fun of your channel since the beginning, you are doing a great review all the time. one suggestion for your opening, I think you should mention Lia beyond the camera.
That’s a great point about the physical and audible interaction with buttons and switches being an indication of a cars quality. I hadn’t thought of that as cars embrace more screen tech but instinctively I get a sense for the quality of a car by the way switches feel and sound. As you say you don’t get with a screen!
usual good review. very happy some one finally compares to Panamera, most reviewers ignore this. Wife liked the convertible, but the boot renders it useless for two golfers and electric buggies.
This car is beautiful, but then I look at previous version and this look worse than that. Maybe the rear for this one looks better, but the old one's front is sooooo much nicer
The radar element on the grill looks like a great big acne spot on an otherwise pretty face…and the press cars spec colours in all these new Conti reviews are weird, weird, weird
Please Thomas stop making comments about manufacturers using 'animal skin' for seats wrongly making uneducated negative comments suggesting this is bad and not sustainable. FYI, no cow is ever killed for its skin!!!!! Cows are killed for their meat ie food - their skin is always a by-product. It is good that when animal killed for food, there is no waste and the cow skin is put to practical use. By definition, leather seats are perfectly sustainable as are a by product of the natural process of eating an animal.
Some people don’t want to sit on an animals skin…. I don’t feel any way about it, other than wishing leather held up as well as other synthetic materials (the leather wheel in my truck is peeling at 40k miles). Nothing wrong with wanting an alternative to leather
This is true to a degree, but unfortunately there are some very poor practices going on surrounding leather production and how the animals are treated. Most notably in Italy and China.
It’s a shams because as comprehensive as his reviews are, he always doesn’t like talking about the materials used on the dashboard, headliners, door sills...etc if they are leather. And no mention of the leather quality as well, such as Merino vs Vernasca in BMW, Nappa and base in Mercedes...etc
great to see the generations together...most brands dont want you to compare new and old....for me the first 2 looked like bentleys with connection to the past, more upright looking. this latest model and the third as a bridge feels like it is moving towards other companies design style...still individual and clearly trying to bring in a broader market. Having said all of that I do like the qulaity of the design work.
A great review as always. Thank you, both. I agree about the benefits of physical controls. So important to the luxury feel of a vehicle. Its sad to see the front end changes, which with the clunky radar and camera placement, plus the eyelids/eyelashes, look inferior to the original. The move away from analogue gauges is sad to see too. It looks cheap
Excellent review. I do agree about switch gear. Great to have the driver involvement in operating switches etc. In terns of driver/passenger heat difference, I suggest that if your passenger is colder than you, its probably because their heart rate has increased and they are nit as relaxed as you. Try slowing down!!!!
Great color ,unusual but elegant , very nice interior color / texture combo . I love that microfibre steering wheel you can grip it good even in the heat , sweat. 782 PS that'a lot of power there but it sounds like a pretty smooth delivery not jerky . Nice review Thomas , great car even though too expensive for me . Are those leather pants your female colleague is wearing ? Cool looking. Till next time Thomas , Tschüss !
I didn't hear if you can use it in ev mode, our Asian market 2.0 petrol hybrid Cayenne got 55km range in ev mode, great for around town, but takes 6h to charge at home. Also, on long trips the ev motor keeps the rpms low and can do 120 at 1800rpm. Recently did 700km while using 5.8-6.2l/100
Beautiful colour for the new Bentley 'Mascara.' Lea has great taste, but the car is not for me. Too heavy and 'cruel.' Amazing scenery for test - thanks guys.
Would you be able to get your hands on a DB12? Looking forward to see how that fares against the competition now since they stepped it up and forwent with the Mercedes infotainment
A great review of a car absolutely nobody needs at €250k, but fun thank you. I think the car would look better in British racing green rather than in something as loud as the pink reviewed. They have done a great job in taming the worst of VW/Audi’s software and the digital part of the UI is kept where it should be - more or less unseen when not needed. The UI/UX is simply classier and more effective than some of the worst that Audi does nowadays. Assuming I was going to spend the money what would put me off would be the huge weight. Maybe a Maserati Folgore might be more fun.
Thomas centre console buttons are not silver anymore and no one seemed to notice. I think black plastic buttons look so cheap like in a toyota. Honestly I like pre facelift more in every single way.
I am surprised that this hybrid doesn't equal the power output of Ferrari's naturally aspirated V12 or Astons biturbo V12. They were so close the 800hp mark.
There were three different teams, one for the main headlights, second one for the indicators/running lights and the third one to put them together. And the three teams never communicated with each other… only a guess on how that headlight design came to be.
There was nothing to improve on the last generation tbh, it looked just perfect. This looks just as good, but i miss the quad headlights. Will miss W12 too!
I get why some want buttons over touch screen, but once a button is assigned a function in a car it can never be upgraded because it is hard wired. An example is the fan speed selector for the AC may only have four settings with buttons, but on a touch screen a software update can change that control to variable fan speeds. Having the ability to have future functions is important to a lot more younger buyers who are tech saavy.
I’ve always loved the GT but they could have done more to distinguish it from the previous generation. Looking at it from the rear it looks like of like the eyes of a squished alien face 👽
@@goncalo33 No, it would be a Ferrari 12C competitor. Think about it, the front engines Super GT has moved on. A Porsche Panamera Coupe, would put Porsche into another market. One that Ferrari, Aston Martin, and even Bentley play in. But, Ferrari was king of the “Hyper Sports GTs” (if that’s a thing). And Aston Martin trailed along. Now, Porsche could leverage its hybrid tech and produce a 800+ hp GT with RWD bias.
@@jambear7862 We don’t know that yet. As they have not been tested. Aston as ALWAYs fallen behind Ferrari in terms of performance when it comes to that segment. Remember, the 12 Cilindri is NA, and the Aston Martin Vanquish is twin turbo, which means that the V12 exhaust is muted. Also, Aston Martin had to do an about face, because the Vanquish was supposed to be a mid-engined Hot V6, to compete against the Ferrari 296 and Huracan replacement. But they had teething issues, so then they were supposed to use the AMG V8, that fell through. Now they have a TTV12 in a front engined GT. This all happened in 4-5 yrs. Whereas Ferrari already was working on the 812 Superfast replacement.

Idk why would the engineers do not think about radar system placement? I mean that's so ugly putting that radar sensor in the middle of the grill !
Because it needs to be functional before anything else, there's regulations and limits about its placement positon. ;) Same as with MX-5 redesign for example but they made an effort. And many other models.
@@JohnyMcNeal that's too logical but at least hide it somehow like VW group do or some other manufacturer, in this particular car I think it was not a full redesign just a face lift cuz before it it wasn't equiped with that radar
That's why it was a bit hard to place.
or at least make it symmetric
Yeah, but when you see how Genesis approaches this, it makes you wonder why Bentley (and Audi) do that.
I mean, there has to be some sort of reason for it though. I've never seen a radar module shaped like a dome aside from something similar on Audi models.
Luxurious premium cars should have traditional analogue gauges, rather than a cheap tablet. It's like a Rolex vs Apple watch.
I agree with that 👍🏻
Been saying that for years. Billionaires don't buy smart watches lmao
Bugatti gets it right with their cars. They know screens will look dated in years to come so it's analogue dials all the way.
They both have analog gauges/switches and a display in the center console. The Bugatti Tourbillon has a vertical retracting center display. In the Bentley, the central display can be rotated to reveal three analog gauges as Thomas demonstrates in the video.
Luxury buyers want tech. There’s a lot of functionality that comes with a digital cluster, and old gauges are just that…. Old…. Decisions like that are made by the market, not the manufacturers
100 percent agree touch screens are a nightmare!
Thomas from Autogefuhl is the best presenter of the cars by far
Thank you so much! Please recommend / share our channel and our videos 🙏
What the heck were they thinking when they changed the headlights. Now it’s really giving Genesis which don’t get me wrong is a nice car, but this is 3x as expensive STARTING.
Tank 300 vibes
to be fair, Genesis were copying Bentley from the beginning
That headlight is straight copy from the 2020-2022 Genesis G90 lol.
Other way around. Genesis used Bentley-esque design language.
That radar placement is doing my head in. That kinda looks like an after thought. Surely they could have spent a little more time to find a more discreet placement
I dislike it. They should have either moved it below the grill or center it in the grill or perhaps hide it behind the grill. The only saving grace is it isn't that noticeable with a blacked out chrome grill.

Somehow the interior feels less luxurious than the previous generation. May be the grey color.

100% agree. It’s crazy every time I watch another segment of the video I like it less.
Not used to Bentley and electric being paired together.
We lost the Mulsanne for this?!?!?!?
I only watch this for listening to Thomas... and the "Let's Go" always means a fantastic and honest review always follows
A big compliment to your reviews. Your focus on detail provides a perspective that far exceeds the superficial comments most reviewers get from a brief test drive. Having the panamera turbo before and now the outgoing continental gt, your insights about them are spot on. Kudos.
Well I tend to like the facelift of vehicles coz of refining n improving what was previously not worth while of a vehicle bt for this I do like the prefacelift with the two headlights with a deployable spoiler. Looked way sexy than this face-lift bt the interior is worth it with the face-lift.

The first generation facelift V8 S version would be my pick of the bunch.
The sound of the V8 is beautiful. It is a very entertaining video, thanks.
Haha what happened to elegance understated sophistication? This is a heinous execution and spec. Total cost saving.
Bentleys never were understated
They can personalize the way you want it. That's the benefit of being rich!
How a 5m long vehicle can be so small inside, with almost no trunk space?
The seats…
@@shaneedwards9197 or the motor maybe.
Thanks
thanks for the support !!
I wrapped my Bentley Continental GT in a similar color. Great color selection.
That interior is just perfect in every way
This car is beautiful, but then I look at previous version and this look worse than that. Maybe the rear for this one looks better, but the old one's front is sooooo much nicer
Is the radar a beauty spot or a wart?
Absolutely maaaaaaaagnificent, what a machine. 🙏
And I don't mind Leah's colour either. 😁👍
What a job you have young man 🤩😍
The radar element on the grill looks like a great big acne spot on an otherwise pretty face…and the press cars spec colours in all these new Conti reviews are weird, weird, weird
I think they're trying to garner 'new money' from China and younger wealthy customers. They tend to like rather gaudy color choices.
Please Thomas stop making comments about manufacturers using 'animal skin' for seats wrongly making uneducated negative comments suggesting this is bad and not sustainable. FYI, no cow is ever killed for its skin!!!!! Cows are killed for their meat ie food - their skin is always a by-product. It is good that when animal killed for food, there is no waste and the cow skin is put to practical use.

Wow, wow, wow, I like it very much in this color. The exterior is very much improved, finally.

In terns of driver/passenger heat difference, I suggest that if your passenger is colder than you, its probably because their heart rate has increased and they are nit as relaxed as you. Try slowing down!!!!
cheers! Hehe, the passenger is colder than the driver, that way around!
That radar on the new grill looks like a huge PIMPLE, aghhh...
Once you've seen that the wheel design on each side doesn't match when rotating you can't unsee it!
Great color ,unusual but elegant , very nice interior color / texture combo .
I love that microfibre steering wheel you can grip it good even in the heat , sweat.
782 PS that'a lot of power there but it sounds like a pretty smooth delivery not jerky .
Nice review Thomas , great car even though too expensive for me .
Are those leather pants your female colleague is wearing ? Cool looking.
Till next time Thomas ,
Tschüss !
high grade leatherette of course since you dont need to harm animals for great look
@@autogefuehl Oh , ok they still look cool , do they come in men's sizes I need pants like that .
I know that there are some raver uniforms in a more martial style, there is this Berlin brand called NAKT doing these outfits
I really like the two stages of graduations of the analog speedometer. Not so keen on the offset eye jutting through the grill though.
That so, competitors of Bentley Continental GT Speed, are Aston Martin DB 12 Volant, Ferrari 12 Cylinders, and Porsche Panamera. Astonishing!

Agree about the new scheinwerfer. Old ones much nicer.
Beautiful colour for the new Bentley 'Mascara.' Lea has great taste, but the car is not for me. Too heavy and 'cruel.' Amazing scenery for test - thanks guys.
🙏🙏
항상 좋은 영상 잘보고 있습니다 감사합니다 ^^❤
Would you be able to get your hands on a DB12? Looking forward to see how that fares against the competition now since they stepped it up and forwent with the Mercedes infotainment
It lost quite a bit of class and distinctiveness with these new headlamps. The pre-facelift was quite elegant, though.
front was definitely better pre-facelift, but the rear is a real step up. I never liked the rear on the previous version.
That`s exactly the problem of the "new" Continental GT: It is technically "only" a Panamera, because it has lost the exclusive W12-engine.
A great review of a car absolutely nobody needs at €250k, but fun thank you.
I think the car would look better in British racing green rather than in something as loud as the pink reviewed. They have done a great job in taming the worst of VW/Audi’s software and the digital part of the UI is kept where it should be - more or less unseen when not needed. The UI/UX is simply classier and more effective than some of the worst that Audi does nowadays. Assuming I was going to spend the money what would put me off would be the huge weight. Maybe a Maserati Folgore might be more fun.

I stand corrected.
Irrespectively of all comments I have seen recently, it remains a beautiful beast , a dream car and certainly on my dear wish list if ….
Thomas centre console buttons are not silver anymore and no one seemed to notice. I think black plastic buttons look so cheap like in a toyota. Honestly I like pre facelift more in every single way.
The very best in British automotive engineering!!👍👍❤️❤️
Apart from the front design, this car is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful eye sore.. Thomas forgot to praise the ingenuity of the beautiful grille.😂
Atleast they got rid of (a little) bit of piano black from the centre console as before!
Definitely a beautiful design! Elegant and sporty as well!
I can’t help but see a bit of M6 grand coupe from the back. Not a bad look.
I really like the car, and although it may seem small, the price is too steep if my phone doesn't fit nicely in it.
Good point about hearing clicks,etc, card are loosing character by switching to screens!
Tennis racket headlights
pls sir, when doing car reviews, pls try and include the measurement of the car ground clearance and talk about it
They messed up, this screams cheap.
I am surprised that this hybrid doesn't equal the power output of Ferrari's naturally aspirated V12 or Astons biturbo V12. They were so close the 800hp mark.
Beautiful car, although the interior looked dated and not as luxurious as I'd expected it to be.
There were three different teams, one for the main headlights, second one for the indicators/running lights and the third one to put them together. And the three teams never communicated with each other… only a guess on how that headlight design came to be.
the rear tail lights remind me of my 2024 BYD Seal lights
There was nothing to improve on the last generation tbh, it looked just perfect. This looks just as good, but i miss the quad headlights. Will miss W12 too!
Amazing car : sporty, luxurious, comfortable, and truly high-performance!
I would buy this if I were a millionaire. British luxury design with German engineering is just perfect
I hope when you get to 1 million subscribers, that you will review nothing cheaper than a Bugatti.
hehe =)
I get why some want buttons over touch screen, but once a button is assigned a function in a car it can never be upgraded because it is hard wired. An example is the fan speed selector for the AC may only have four settings with buttons, but on a touch screen a software update can change that control to variable fan speeds. Having the ability to have future functions is important to a lot more younger buyers who are tech saavy.
I’ve always loved the GT but they could have done more to distinguish it from the previous generation. Looking at it from the rear it looks like of like the eyes of a squished alien face 👽
This is the best good looking BENTLY CONTINENTAL GT . This colour more a lady’s colour but for men black , navy blue or orchid green will look cool .👌
Great body style. I the rear design is sharp.
I'll take the Panamera please.
Thomas, the battery never goes to absolute zero.
Yep never totally zero but it wont help much with performance
Fun fact: THe main reason the driver feels “warmer” than the passenger is the steering wheel blocking the left air vent partially. Try it out.
we usually have the mid vents deactivated and only top and feet running :)
This leads to an unanswered question. Why hasn’t Porsche produced a Panamera Coupe, which would be the spiritual successor to the 928?
That would compete with the 911.
@@goncalo33
No, it would be a Ferrari 12C competitor. Think about it, the front engines Super GT has moved on. A Porsche Panamera Coupe, would put Porsche into another market. One that Ferrari, Aston Martin, and even Bentley play in. But, Ferrari was king of the “Hyper Sports GTs” (if that’s a thing). And Aston Martin trailed along.
Now, Porsche could leverage its hybrid tech and produce a 800+ hp GT with RWD bias.
Aston is winning that game with the newest generation
@@jambear7862 We don’t know that yet. As they have not been tested. Aston as ALWAYs fallen behind Ferrari in terms of performance when it comes to that segment. Remember, the 12 Cilindri is NA, and the Aston Martin Vanquish is twin turbo, which means that the V12 exhaust is muted.
Also, Aston Martin had to do an about face, because the Vanquish was supposed to be a mid-engined Hot V6, to compete against the Ferrari 296 and Huracan replacement. But they had teething issues, so then they were supposed to use the AMG V8, that fell through. Now they have a TTV12 in a front engined GT. This all happened in 4-5 yrs. Whereas Ferrari already was working on the 812 Superfast replacement.
@@TheCluesRNTheBlues the Astons certainly look better
The headlights and tail lights look cheap now imho
Overall ok but i think aston looks better this time, its was opposite before face lifts
From 11:40, 100% agree!

Footballer's car. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much! Please recommend / share our channel and our videos 🙏
That's a nice looking Genesis! Oh, wait... Nevermind.
Why haven't they sorted the entertainment unit, so you can have it blank when you drive? It has to be simple.
Very neat and aspiring model 😊
Please anybody, tell me what is the exterior color of bentley cabrio.
This lovely fine automible has it all plus more.!!! Need's just one more extra here. The magical vocals of Ms. Angelina Jordan - OMG.!!!
Bentley truly makes perfect cars!
A giant pimple on the grill that they didn't even try to cover, looks horrible
Radars destroy the face. They didnt even try to integrate them into design ....
The headlights are leftover KIA stinger taillights..
