    9:30 ''..the only thing this car is missing is fun." 11:37 "I'm having too much fun , I've left a photographer behind..." . Right.

    Feel like I have just been to Spain and experienced the Bentley first hand.
    My goodness what an incredible experience it was.
    It was snowing. I saw the beautiful beaches. And I heard a lovely V8 soundtrack.
    Actually, I fell in love.
    To those who disliked the video.. haters gonna hate. But with Harry Metcalfe presenting, you will always be greatly outnumbered.

    This guy kills it. His reviews are more concerned about everyday stuff. Way better than talking about horsepower and noise 24/7 like Jeremy...

    W12 are what give German engineers orgasms, I think for what really ought to be a British GT a V8 is more appropriate. Even the flagship Mulsanne used a V8, although to a different effect.

    @FROOB202 11 лет назад

    Well you stated one other factor there with "production methods". There are also materials used to make the engine (IE cast iron vs aluminium for example), turbo/superchargers, type of transmission (dual clutch vs manual for example).

    It's a bit silly, but I was pretty surprised when at about 0:30 when Metcalfe steps to our right out of the camera and then steps in again from the left :D

    My favorite part is when he ripped off the engine cover. lol

    @ATBullitt 12 лет назад

    19.2 mpg, I think thats round about 15 l/km. Thats not too bad for a 2.5t AWD car with this power.
    Very good review, it was really fun to watch :)

    • @Kassiusday
      @Kassiusday 8 месяцев назад

      You mean 15 litres /100 km which is not too bad …. Indeed , I wd prefer to pay more fuel to have a Bentley than a fiat or a Prius …..tbh

    @flamesfromblazer 12 лет назад

    Harry's delivery of his words is very similar to that of Rick Stein. .
    -they should team up and do a mini series driving great cars to great food locations and call it ' Cars'n' Cookin' or something like that. .
    Really enjoyable reviews these are. . .

    Considering you lose a whole 2 litres, 120 bhp and that 12 cylinder sound/smoothness, is it really worth it for 3 MPG?

    Two and a half ton of weight is massive, even moreso for a convertible.
    Bentley should seriously consider using a lot more aluminium as was done for the new Ranger Rover which shed a whopping 400+ kilograms from the previous model.
    That V8 sounds really nice.

    The current Continental W12 is 2320 KG and the V8 is 2295 KG. Therefore, the difference is 25 KG.
    I can't find any Continentals weighing over 2600 KG. The heaviest I can find is the Continental GTC W12, which weighs 2485 KG. The second heaviest is the Continental GTC V8, which weighs 2470 KG, representing a 15 KG difference between V8 and W12 (even less than in GT form).
