I probably should get one, but I'm waiting on my £150 coming through for the council grant.
😂👏🏻
I've had mine come through yesterday, time to splash out
@@TheManWithNoName786 my man
Same here .
Mines already spent on a months worth of petrol to get to work and back
Cinematography in this video is great. Keep it up Mat and it wont be long before you reach half a million subs.
Thanks!
It looks so bloody good and accelerates like a starstreak surface to air missile! Love the build quality of these too.
Got to say Matt the videography/editing/stats on screen etc is absolutely perfect 👌🏻.
Thanks!
@@HighPeakAutos in europe people use liters per 100km and not kms per litre.
Say 56mpg (5l per 100km)
We’re not in Europe pal (except geographically) here it’s miles and gallons.
@@anthonycrompton6922 "pal" I'm aware but thanks. It was addressed to him. He cares for his European viewers and to make it more clear to them he tried something weird. I just wanted to tell him it's not what people in Europe use.
There is a company that upgrades the centre console and infotainment system. It's not cheap and does have downsides with loss of some the existing functions. Still, it's an option - not one I've plumpt for, as I prefer to keep everything stock. Yes, it will put some people off buying it in the future. Hey ho. Great video, Matt. Thanks for sharing.
Porsche do an upgrade themselves for the 996, works with all the controls and looks oem. Shame more of the other manufacturers don't do it.
@@Maurice_Moss Aston Martin do it too.
That some time has passed. Have they ever been able to upgrade the infotainment with all its features being functional?
Subtle upgrade on the visuals. Nice, works well and something you can build on without losing your regular audience.
Thanks! That was the plan
This video edit looked really professional, nicely done. Been watching your vids for about 12 months now, you have the perfect balance :)
Thank you
Love the new cinematography intro Matt. Reminds me of old Top Gear / Fifth Gear. Keep it up!
Thanks!
Yes - The price of diesel is frightening. What an excuse to buy a petrol-fueled Bentley!
It doesn't matter. It. In the future it will be the same for EV, when most people will leave ICE powered cars behind, the price for electricity will increase significantly, no more incentives and no more free charging
@@Johnny24rs People don't see that. And if the electricity supply goes down, you're really screwed 😮
That’s great logic. 👍
🤣🤣🤣
I’m keeping my golf gtd forever, no matter how tempted I get! 220bhp + loads of torque all for £260 a year insurance and £20 a year road tax!
@@Johnny24rs The fact is EV market as it exists right now will not hold, they will have to make up for lost revenue so they will make them pay road tax and probably have a premium attached to charging them.
Superb video. Always enjoy your videos and comments. I have just turned 60. Dad was a mechanic. Bought up in the motor trade in London. School holidays and weekends working in a garage, that my dad had contacts with. Apprenticeship and a life with motors. Semi retired now. I have had a TR7 for years now and a few odd ball vehicles. 6 in total. Last purchase was a Jaguar XF SV8.
The Jag is a great drive. Next year i may well consider the Bentley. Thanks for a great entertaining video.
Got it or made another choice?
Thought I was watching a movie at the beginning Matt, very impressive, great review..👍🏻
Thanks!
i just bought my first electric car Renault ZOE,i live in Norway,is the car who make sense in this world and in this market
Wish you had posted this video a week ago as I have just bought a car now.
I guess I will have to put off the Bentley and make do with my 57 plate Seat Ibiza.
Oh well!
Bad timing
Awesome editing! Feels like I'm watching a down-to-earth Top Gear haha
Thanks! That’s some compliment
Great video Matt. When they brought out this model they did a press launch at the Monteblanco race track, just to the west of Seville, and I got driven round the circuit by one of their drivers. A fantastic experience even though I was't actually driving it. My understanding is that the weight reduction is due to an all aluminium body. If only I could afford one!
That intro is Topgear worthy 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thank you!
Many times,fuel consumption is stated as the critical factor when buying a car .So you buy a boring eurobox which does 0-60 in 10 seconds,does 35 mpg(hurrah) but depreciates by 30 percent in the first year.You would really be 'better off' by buying an older prestige car and let the previous owners absorb the depreciation.Just make sure you budget for expensive tires and servicing (my last main service and full check on my 6 year old XJL was £145 at an independent and tires are around £180 each).Just to put the icing on the cake its 3 litre v6 turbo diesel does around 36 mpg.Point made!!
Duuuuude the intro, on-screen text and split screen transitions! 🔥 I see you man. Super cool video.
Ooooh! Fancy videography and direction! We approve, Matt. I'll have to stick to my jet black Brabus Roadster Coupe ;-). One day, I'll bring it down to Hazel Grove for a trade in...
Hey! Slick new camera work and a poor sod standing on the roadside now! Chat even better than usual too. One of your best videos, thanks!
Thank you!
The smile on your face throughout says it all
The technology on these hasn't aged well indeed . Beautiful machine still .
Great content indeed. The video improvements are very much appreciated !
what technology?
just bought supersport addition to 412kw continental. using fm transmitter to stream from spotify, sound is very good, bass is even too good, i set it into middle position, it gets hard to be if its on max
dont whine, use your brain
I don't think they will loose any money Mat with the way its going in the car market, with them being very limited edition, I can only see them being future classics. And a rock solid one at that
I thought so too
Nice touches on the film production Matt. Feels like a step up again. Great work.
Thanks!
Am I the only one who recognises every single bit of road in all your videos? Reminds me what a lovely part of the world when its sunny! As others noted, great production Matt.
Thanks! It is a lovely part of the world
I love your way of phrasing things. Has very good humour
Nice production quality bump!
Very noticeable change in production values on the video Matt……and it wasn’t half bad before. Nice one.
Thanks!
You can get Porsche to put in new infotainment into your old Porsche cars. Must be a new industry out there that will do it for all old classics? Anyone know?
Great video, superb production and an amazing car.
There are guys who do it for proper classics, there's a guy local too me who takes the standard headunit, completely deguts the internals, and puts his own system inside, whilst maintaining the front face of the headunit.
Unreal camerawork lately. Thanks mat
Thanks. Can’t take the credit for that though, I’ve got a professional now 😂
@@HighPeakAutos probably the best investment for the channel, production quality is gonna keep people coming back. Great idea!
Sometimes in life, although rare if you are a "groundd person" you just want a treat. Have your cake and eat it too sort of car so, to answer your question, YES, if you can, you should buy it no matter what the "it" is as long as it treats you well.
When my E38 7 Series got old I upgraded the infotainment system with an identical looking Android unit that wired into the steering wheel buttons.
I'm sure these will be available for the Bentley, too, to bring the tech up to date without affecting the look.
You can always store the original in case the next owner is a purist.
Love the new video and edit style
Been on the production line, the absolute essence of hand crafting. I stood there watching a woman stitch a steering wheel, I was mesmerised.
Nice video production value upgrade. You’ve now set the bar.
Hi Matt, excellent and very murdered review I have ever reviewed 👌
Thanks for watching
Drove passed you a week last Sunday on our way into Buxton, you were stood by the car with another guy. It certainly looks very impressive in the flesh.
Hello Matt! Love your reviews. They are on level with this car, and what a car! Wish you all the best in life! 🙏 Greetings from Portugal. 👏
Long time subscriber and watcher of your videos. Just wanted to say that I loved this intro, and and the half screen bit when you accelerate away. Definitely made the video feel even better. 👍
PMSL @ police sirens, great timing.
That thing is lush, getting on a bit now I suppose but still cool.
Like the info being shown onscreen and some of the wipes.
LOL @ RFL equivalent.
Really like the new little changes you’ve made to the visuals etc.
Will help the channel grow
As plenty of people before me have noted - amazing production values, looking very much forward to more high-quality content.
What I really came here to ask is regarding the MPG figures, is that Imperial miles/gallons? I guess it's not that huge of a difference but just to beat the fuel economy jokes going I really want to know if that 11 MPG is 21 or 25 l/100 Km
I always talk in imperial MPG rather than US Gallons
@@HighPeakAutos In the uk it’s always measured in imperial gallons, I figured this out yesterday after I realised I’d been using US gallons and thinking my car was cheaper to run than it actually is 😂
@@liamsce5082 I never knew there was a difference until I bought a US import X5 and wondered why the computer was telling me it was so bad on fuel 🤣
@@HighPeakAutos Christ, I’d cry with the price fuel is at the moment if it was telling me it was that bad 😂, I never understood though, why fuel stations use litres and cars use MPG
Holly shit the videography is now a step above than before!
Thanks
The indicator sounds just like my Mk6 Golf. Insane how even in a completely different car, you get hints of VW-audi. Great video btw, love the new cinematic approach. It works well.
I proudly used to say the my old Leon mark 3 had the same steering wheel controls as the Bentley continental. Sadly now they've replaced the wheel so I can't, and the ones on my mark 7.5 golf are different so now I definitely can't.
Just had to take a deep breath after filling my wife’s Citroen C1 up with petrol, think I’ll pass!
Fantastic quality Vid, Well done.
The new videography is now on pair with the presenting quality! Just one tip regarding the fuel consumption conversion - use L/100kms instead - that’s how we (the rest of the world) use! Cheers from Portugal 🇵🇹
Yes that’s right. I’ll change that
Best production values yet. Stunning car.
Thanks!
Really enjoy your exploration of filming and editing, it is different but I applaud you trying a new style. Suits the review of this Bentley very much. If you can afford the purchase,
why would you not by this Bentley? Have some fun, go on a tour! Lastly, naturally, for all your cool car videos and great life's pointers, thank you very much, greatly appreciated.
Hi matt . Great review as usual . The EON reference maybe lost on your overseas viewers who's government help out their citizens with their energy bills, but as a Brit it's too close to the truth.
TH-cam really wants me to watch this video… it’s been in my suggested video list repeatedly today.
You always make me smile ! .. I must agree with the choice of two cars ... If
I drive a super sports, but it's a Ducati. You however, have still not driven the car, whose toes this version is now treading on. I already know what your verdict will be, but still, it'll be fun watching you slum it.
Another great video Matt, you could literally make a video with you talking about paint drying and I would still watch it. Entertaining as always! Keep it up
Great video editing, a good upgrade to your standard videos, cheers
had one and it's everything mentioned and more. I used mine when I worked in Europe buying and selling horses. 25mpg on their good well maintained roads. I didn't' meet anyone that didn't like it. Other than french traffic police (their fines don't count right😬). Plus people knew you weren't there to waste their time when out buying. Down side, parts cost. Example rear lights, they only last 10 years. They are modular, no bulbs other than indicator and cost 2.5 K +vat each. You can get 2nd hand, but the modules will go at some point. Electrics are also suspect now as they are getting on a bit. Battery drain is a problem if not used every day. You can buy a replacement updated infotainment around about 3 K fitted, but it looks cheap and tacky all flashy lights and cheap looking plastic. I am definitely going to get another supersports. Unfortunately not yet as I am saving for a better house in the country right now and they are 'quite' expensive to buy outright.🙄
Loving the extra effort you putting into the videos
Thanks
This specific Continental reminds me of the old proper Top Gear when Jeremy was smoking this car's tyres like a chimney 😎oh man those were truly the days!
Bro I love the new editing, seems more pro. Keep going, great job!
Thank you
Really liking the new edit and graphics. Professional and premium. Thank you and keep them coming.
Thanks!
They are absolute hoot to drive. Used to borrow them from work occasionally. If you want still more, there is the SuperSports ISR (Ice Speed Record). That was 650ps engine, although most production engines were likely a little more. The only bad thing about it were the graphics on the side. Nice job Matt!
Your videography took a step up this video!
Cheers!
Always surprises me that you youngsters place so much importance on the infotainment system . I mean , its a car , not your living room.
My thoughts exactly ... but hey, I'm a middle-aged X gen guy, so what do I know? 😆
@@zsb707And I'm a boomer , so I know even less.
The infotainment dating issue has been resolved by Porsche. They do an upgrade for circa £1500 that brings it up to the modern age with Android auto/Apple car play
Can't afford £35k but wish I could!! Oh, boy. I shall have to start doing the lottery and keep my fingers crossed! Lovely vid. Thanks, Matt
The visuals at the start are very nice Matt! Great video as always
WHAT AN INTRO! Great video, these cars are very interesting indeed 🔥
I am loving the higher quality shots and production, keep it up!
Thanks!
A close friend of mine owns one of these monsters, seriously it is like driving a Mayfair gentlemans club on steroids on wheels ,when he turned it on i was half expecting it to say "select time/date and co-ordinates " !!!
Porsche offer a Factory Media System upgrade for their older cars. As Bentley are part of VAG you'd think that they'd offer the same service.
That entertainment system is straight from a VW scirocco. Yeah nice car this is though Matt! All that power and it’s 4WD 😍
I'm enjoying the increased production value put into the recent videos. Don't get me wrong, the original format is still great, as a handsome and witty Englishman in skinny jeans has a production value all its own.
I'd love to see a review of the Bentley Mulsanne. I feel it's a cut above the Continental and Flying Spur.
I’d love to make that video too
Maybe a review of the other Supersport? The Jaguar XJ.
So we have equine therapy, canine therapy, and the rest. But, if there's ever an opening for automotive therapy, I'll book a session with you, Dr Matt :) Thanks for keepin' us smiling with your channel.
Top gear need to hire you to save themselves. Not sure if they are still around. You never fail to put smile on my face. I love this Bentley. I consider myself extremely lucky to be working within the Bentley design team. I really want to buy a used Conti one day. Those lines on that bentley ( inside out ) are soooo good o my god!
Thank you! Bet that’s an interesting job
@@HighPeakAutos Love it. Dont know how I got it but love it.
Matt just wanted to say not sure what other people's views are but the cinematics are great keep up the good work
Thanks
Car seems so smooth wish I had this but definitely not around London and the bloody bumps.
With current fuel prices this is exactly what you need, don't waste time people grab a bargain!
Its all about working hard and not settling for anything run of the mill. Well said Matt! i went ahead and got that 2017 550HP L405 SVAutobiography and boy is it worth it! thanks for the reassuring advice!
Very good! Enjoy it. I love mine
@@HighPeakAutos and like you always says yes I know it's going to break! So I have my rainy day fund ready lol two days in and the two rear door subwoofers are rattling aka broken 🙃 😅
Absolutely awesome machine and great review. One of the things I love is the subtle upgrades to an already beautiful car. That said there's a white one near where I live that has Supersport transfers added along the bottom of the doors. Looks like they came from Halfords. It looks awful.
Great vid as always.
Great film quality Matt,very classy
Thanks
Thats a good intro..nicely done..and onto the bentley.mmm cant afford it !
Thanks!
It's likely a good idea to consider the cost of ownership over the cost of acquisition, as that will help you decide if can REALLY afford it.
Great upgrade to your production quality. Now it looks like you have your own production crew
Kudos!
Thanks!
The Continental GT is just a staggering piece of mechanical engineering. Somewhat like the bubble bee, it is something that is able to do that which it should not be capable of.
Will be a future classic for sure
Lovely car and the filming is really class
Always liked these, the only negative for me, and it's a big one, is the uninspiring sound from that 6.0 W12, an engine that size should sound good.
Perfect for a pint at the Cat and Fiddle
Great episode and beautiful car,Porsche offers updated infotainment systems for there older cars that obviously don’t look like an add on.
This will definitely be the future for these types of cars,but beware not a cheap option.
Great video and editing is on point 👍
From a Sytner auction. Yes. Glad of this review Matt as they fall sensible money on bids. Yet they look the bomb. Know nowt about them. Know the engine in A8 and Phaeton so it’s always going to be tasty
Great review Matt as always,really interesting videos as usual!
Hello from Croatia! :D
Thank you!
Alcantara is a lot less slippery than leather. Probably why Ford also used it on Mondeo seats, don't want you sliding around too much in the corners.
Splendid as a always :) Its a good question you raise here. I am sure future car genartions will be build and engineered even more around their Operating- and Infotainement system rather than the drivetrain as electric cars just have as much power and torque you want and can pay. An electrical engine is just a dull, powerful and mighty reliable thing. So, the obsolescence issue could be rather dramatic
Great production quality on this one, well done.
Finally, something to do with that £40,000!
You’re welcome
Fantastic video Matt, awesome editing and really enjoyed the stats etc. What an awesome beast of a car and I think it looks absolutely stunning. Really enjoyed this, as always 😉👌🏻👍🏻
Hi Matt,just checked under my mattress,just dust and a mouldy slice of pizza, drat !!
Alcantara replaces leather in sports cars as it's grippier on the posterior
production quality on this video :📈
Cinematography looks amazing, helps make the car that bit more special! Keep it up :)
Thanks, will do!
