Thanks for posting this vid Matt. I was literally on the cusp of buying a cheap Mercedes A class when I realised that I'd be better off getting one of these instead . Result 👍
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 👌🏻.
@@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.
As others have pointed out, what breath-taking editing! Especially the sound design in the intro. Additionally, the caption work and font choice is also incredible. And absolutely loved the shots at 3:28 and 4:00. If such a thing as a 'premium video' exists, this is definitely it
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 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.
Awesome car But id like to appreciate the cinematography Only thing missing is a driver POV The camera from outside (POV of other traffic pov) is really awesome We get to see what others see when we drive the continental
Whilst 35K is still a fair chunk of change thats an awful lot of car for the money. Looks great and must be amazing to drive. Loved the upgraded videography really showed off the car in a great light
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!
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...
Like the new visual format onscreen data plus the conversions, getting very professional. How do you end up with a small fortune? Start with a large one😀 Some very good cars at good prices, you manage to keep a wide range in your videos. Something for everyone.
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. 👍
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!!
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.
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.
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
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
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!
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
@@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 😂
@@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
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.
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.
Absolutely awesome car. Hard to believe it's available for the price of a new electric Corsa! As for the infotainment problem - simple solution, don't use it! Who needs music when the car makes a noise like this. If I really need satnav I'll use my mobile.
Yes!!! I love my Supersport .. Racing seats and back seats removed with all the Mansory upgrades!! There is nothing like arriving and having your car stay where you left it at the Fairmont in San Francisco or other nice hotels!! Cheers!!
Great review, this is my deam car, would love one. My current car is a Jag X351 Portfolio, the Bentley is the only car I would feel happy changing it for.
Hi Matt,so i got myself in a very delicate position.Should i get A mulliner MK2 GT 12 reg or the supersports 10 reg.Prices are pretty similar...also considered the CL63 facelift merc with the 5.5 TT V8.I m also a huge fan of your channel.Keep it up. All the best.😊
Really interesting video. I wonder how many people were searching AT whilst watching this video? I know I for one was 🤣 Come on Mat, we must be due that update on how you're finding your RRS, the wait is killing me...
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.
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
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.
Excellent as always Matt…the production quality is now on another level…I remember watching one your first offerings ( a white XKR ) and thinking …yes i like this guys no bullshit approach …and now nearly at 200 k subs you’re right at the top of the tree of motoring vids . Cheers Matt.
Yet another great review, and look at a spectacular Bentley. I will say that your 2005 was truly beautiful and at 550 bhp, was no slouch. I myself encountered a choice last year, and got a 2011 version of a car that I have always wanted...a piece of art on wheels.....a Jaguar XK (5.0L na.) The Jag is really almost too much power for me, so I simply cannot image this Bentley. ( I would never take it out of winter mode) Thanks for the tour !
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.
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.
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!
Thanks for posting this vid Matt. I was literally on the cusp of buying a cheap Mercedes A class when I realised that I'd be better off getting one of these instead . Result 👍
Good luck. They are hideously unreliable.
Get used to the Mercedes main dealer bills first then realise prestige doesn’t come cheap. However there’s nothing better to drive and enjoy.
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.

This video edit looked really professional, nicely done. Been watching your vids for about 12 months now, you have the perfect balance :)
Thank you

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?
Love the new cinematography intro Matt. Reminds me of old Top Gear / Fifth Gear. Keep it up!
Thanks!
Firm handshakes for the time and effort put into evolving the visuals/editing of this video. Keep it going.
Subtle upgrade on the visuals. Nice, works well and something you can build on without losing your regular audience.
Thanks! That was the plan

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
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. 👍

Thanks!
Thought I was watching a movie at the beginning Matt, very impressive, great review..👍🏻
Thanks!
Production levels on the vide have gone up a notch well done matt
The production on your videos is superb now. You’ve got one the top you tube car channels. Top work and fair play. Hard work pays off
Thank you!
Loving the upload frequency, Matt. Beautiful. I'd rather your mulliner conti.
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?
Awesome car
But id like to appreciate the cinematography
Only thing missing is a driver POV
The camera from outside (POV of other traffic pov) is really awesome
We get to see what others see when we drive the continental
Whilst 35K is still a fair chunk of change thats an awful lot of car for the money. Looks great and must be amazing to drive. Loved the upgraded videography really showed off the car in a great light

Nice touches on the film production Matt. Feels like a step up again. Great work.

How do you end up with a small fortune?
Start with a large one😀

Great video editing, a good upgrade to your standard videos, cheers

Brilliant!!! A man after my own heart - a Range Rover and a Continental in the garage. Had them both, but not together.
Awesome car, I have a question, my beast, a 2014 Jaguar F type V8 S convertible worth £38K or a Bentley?
Production quality has taken a big step forward, not easy or quick to achieve. I think this is is best shot and edited video of yours to date.
Thank you
Congratulations on the production values as good as any of the very best and better than most. Lovely video.
Nice video. The comparison with the Aston Martin pricing was a good point well made and made me see these cars in a different light.
