The hood latch might not be a design flaw. If the door needs to be opened for the hood to be opened, then it means the designers want the car to be in a complete stop in order to open the hood.
AUDI does it the same way - and I wondered also the first time - but came to the same conclusion as you - and I love it - attention to detail - "Vorsprung durch Technik"
Honestly I'd have this over any current supercar: -Limited - Hold it's Value or depreciate much - Fast as other supercars - 2nd to rolls Royce in terms of luxury - Imo really really looks nice, better design and shape than most cars - One of a kind exhaust note - Rare W12 engine
Yes. Anyone working on their car is gonna have the door open anyway , so it's a feature that prevents an accidental opening when the doors are closed up for driving.
exactly, if ur inside the car when u wanna open the hood, at some point you will want to open the hood which is outside the car...so why not start by opening the door anyway
In my Audi, I can open the filler cap door only if the driver door is open (and the ignition was on, and now is off), only then is button enabled - if the door is closed, I can press the release button all day long, but the button does nothing. So yeah, probably "safety" feature.
The bonnet latch isn't a design flaw. Pretty much all German cars under the BMW and VW group will have it so the door needs to be open before you can open the bonnet. It's so you can't accidentally do it, seems pretty obvious to do it this way because if you are opening the bonnet you are going to get out of the car...
So every other car on Earth is ...wrong? I can think of a few times in my life where I helped people with dead batteries, had them sit in the car to start it. They had no reason to "Get out" to open the hood.
ramairgto72 well it's for safety purposes, so you can't accidentally do it. The door needs to be opened and it's not like you can do it while driving so it's merely a safety function
I'm not sure if that hood latch is really a flaw. By making sure the door has to be open in order to open the hood, it keeps you from accidentally unlatching the hood while driving down the road.
Zero I work at an Audi dealership Little does this guy know that Bentley is owned by Volkswagen just like Audi so a lot of the ideas are universal and recycled around 😂😂
I was looking for this comment... the BMW 428i literally has that feature. Also, the hood latch is basically the same design in Audi and VW ( you can't open the hood if you don't open the door) so that is not exclusive to the Bentley.

The hood latch is blocked most likely on purpose so you dont accidentally unlatch the hood of the car while driving, Dougie. It expects you to get out of the car first to do that, hence the door bit.
The reason you can turn on the seat heating and ventilation simultaneously is that it helps speed up the process of warming up the seat. As warmth is put out, the seat ventilation helps move the warm air around the seat, thus warming it up faster. Mercedes-Benz has been doing that ever since they introduced the option to get ventilated seats.
To me the latch for the hood is actually perfect to me it really idiot proofs the car so you can't open the hood while the car is driving so to him saying it wasn't thought out just made me laugh it's like he is the kind of guy that bentley made sure to do that for ...bentley stepping up game preparing for idiots
Doug is worth like a million dollars says sources so i bet he can afford it... I think he had good money before he started utube, but now he is a millionaire thanks to it.

When will they make more responsive touch screens in cars ? I mean its 2017 and it laggs when you press a damn speed option button in a 310.000 car, thats unacceptable.

Tanmay Kulkarni I think it goes "I bought a Bentley Continental Supersports" then "5 things I love/hate about my Bentley", and then, finally "I sold my Bentley"
Curious, how much money can americans, or wherever you're from, make per year? For example, the cars Doug reviews cost about the same in Slovenia, where I'm from, and people here average about 15k a year
mirniklovro Depends heavily on where you are Beverly hills average salary is around 300k San Diego's average salary is 60k La Jolla is in the realm of 500k if I remember That's just in different parts of California 1 in something like 3 people in new York are millionaires Certain parts of the South salary is like 30
You can't open the hood in a golf without opening the door either. It's a security feature to prevent thieves from being able to open the bonnet by just breaking the window glass (thereby preventing them from being able to disable the alarm/fiddle with the engine).
Umm, if you break the window couldn't you just open the door from the inside? Also, what's in the engine compartment that's easy to steal? Not like you can just take the engine out.
@@barbusbogdan7 yea bro. He should also review some smart phones too " This literally phone is the cheapest rediculous you can buy on today's market which around 200 dollar" hahahahha

There's an engine somewhere under all of that pointless plastic coverings....whoever invented those was A: not a car guy, and B: deserving of an ass whooping
I drove one of our spare trucks with a built up Detroit series 60 in a 1994 Freightliner and managed to twist the driveshaft in half twig to start off from a steep hill. The tow truck driver remarked that it was the first time he'd ever seen one twisted in half, usually they fail at the CV joint.
actually, the way the wheels and hubs are designed, the bolts just keep the wheels in contact with the hubs, the surface area of the wheel and hub take most of the pressure. Now in corners, that's lateral force which WILL put stress directly on the bolts..... But no worries, the bolts and nuts are of sufficient grade to handle the stresses. Remember: you have the cushioning effect of the tires (flexibility). I've linked to a chart showing the strength of various grade bolts. A grade 2 (cheapest and most common) as a tensile strength of 74000 psi....that's 25 times the weight of the car...so if you hung the car on a chain, and held that chain with ONE grade 2 bolt. It would be fine. Each wheel has 6 and if you looked into it, they're probably grade 5. www.boltdepot.com/fastener-information/materials-and-grades/bolt-grade-chart.aspx
Volkswagen vehicles also have the hood release blocked by the door. Supposedly, so you don't accidentally open the hood while driving. With Bentley being owned by the VW group, possibly why this has the same feature?
@3:40; I know most cars probably are more powerful with their electrical systems nowadays, but when I got my first car with power windows (a 1995 Mercury Tracer), i rolled all four windows down at once then back up again...and blew the fuse. Therefore, I've never rolled down more than two windows at once since.
Doug, in most cars (from my experience) all you have to do to lower all the windows is to hold down either the lock or unlock button (depending on model)
@ 6:11 well I never seen anyone with arms that could reach inside the hood from the passenger seat... have to come out the car anyway, very efficient designs

I think the hood latch is a safety feature.
So obvious that's on purpose
It is for safety. It's the same in all volkswagens, Audi's, skoda, seats, porshes. Basically VAG group
Yes. Anyone working on their car is gonna have the door open anyway , so it's a feature that prevents an accidental opening when the doors are closed up for driving.
@@bairomini VAG stands for Volkswagen Audi Group. No need to add "group" after VAG
MrAvocadoMan VAG stands for Volkswagen AG, AG is the German abbreviation for Corporation
the hood latch thing is probably a safety feature, its like that in all volkswagens I believe
i agree, i don't think its a flaw. If you think about it, why would you ever want to pull the hood latch when the door is closed?
Doug is the sort of nob who would try and open the hoops while he is driving
exactly, if ur inside the car when u wanna open the hood, at some point you will want to open the hood which is outside the car...so why not start by opening the door anyway
Same here in a Citroen... Seems to be basic logic
In my Audi, I can open the filler cap door only if the driver door is open (and the ignition was on, and now is off), only then is button enabled - if the door is closed, I can press the release button all day long, but the button does nothing.
So yeah, probably "safety" feature.
I like how the rear Lights matched to the Exhaust Pipes :D
2:05 wait did he just say features and quirks wrong order Doug
The bonnet latch isn't a design flaw. Pretty much all German cars under the BMW and VW group will have it so the door needs to be open before you can open the bonnet. It's so you can't accidentally do it, seems pretty obvious to do it this way because if you are opening the bonnet you are going to get out of the car...
Chatta290 Thats that german thinking yeah baby
So every other car on Earth is ...wrong?
I can think of a few times in my life where I helped people with dead batteries, had them sit in the car to start it.
They had no reason to "Get out" to open the hood.
ramairgto72 well it's for safety purposes, so you can't accidentally do it. The door needs to be opened and it's not like you can do it while driving so it's merely a safety function
Chatta290 I also can't open my fuel tank cover in my Mazda when the door is closed, probably for the same reason.
ramairgto72 They're not wrong, they're just not... German.
For 300k this thing better be able to inflate the tires instead of just checking the tire pressure
True

Bentley has announced the next gen continental. I suspect it will earn a 9 in features and a 7 in styling, earning a DougScore of 70.
Empire State I just looked up the new 2019 Continental gt and I like this one way better. Don't know what they were thinking with the new tail lighs.
At least the newer interior is miles ahead!
Empire State is it ??? Still waiting on a doug review though lol
Empire State do you agree the older tail lights are better though? Haha
Definitely - the new taillights are not nearly as attractive. However, the rest of the car is a huge improvement!
I'm not sure if that hood latch is really a flaw. By making sure the door has to be open in order to open the hood, it keeps you from accidentally unlatching the hood while driving down the road.
Zzyzx Wolfe that's true I didn't think of that
my car has that too and that was the exact thought I had when I discovered that.
Zzyzx Wolfe Volkswagen does this on other models too and it makes sense.
point☝🏻
Zzyzx Wolfe yep... my Audi A6 has the same thing
I have a 2013 audi a4, the hood latch thing works the same way, u need to open the door to pull the latch. Its a safety feature.

my jetta has the same hood latch arrangement as this bentley.
LulzRoyce 2008 audi s5 is like that too. makes sense really as your going to have the door open before you open the bonnet / hood
LulzRoyce it would kinda be funny if you're driving down the road, then all of a sudden you see this Bentley's hood just fly up.
Yes. This is a VW mandated safety feature. Intended, not accidental. So equipped on every Audi.

You got a point there, but one can only imagine the stress on the bolts @ 336 km/h going over bumps...
actually, the way the wheels and hubs are designed, the bolts just keep the wheels in contact with the hubs, the surface area of the wheel and hub take most of the pressure. Now in corners, that's lateral force which WILL put stress directly on the bolts.....

Jack Windrammer some dragsters might have something to say about that... until that pesky 1 degree bend comes along that is. :)
mercedes formula one car
LMP1 car has a higher top speed then an f1 car
Why you never show the engine bay ?
He did? It's a shit load of plastic and nothing to look at
Was asking the same
Lol wrong video..Yeap you right, in other cars he did not (amg Gt-s 4 example)
Kzero It's like saying the car is just a shit load of plastic and metal and it's nothing to look at
17:08
Yes the icy hot seats is a must have
The hood latch won't open without the door being open for a reason. Would you want to open the hood when you are driving down the highway 80mph?
Arttu Pirinen indeed, even VW do that in their affordable cars
who would accidentally open the hood while driving anyways? maybe they did this to prevent some dumb ass suing them in the future lol.
Audi's require the door to be open too...confuses the tech people at track events too.
who would accidentally open the hood while driving? maybe someone looking for a parking brake release?
I drive a $23k 2013 VW Jetta and have never experienced my hood randomly unlatching while driving. It's unnecessary AF.
Volkswagen vehicles also have the hood release blocked by the door. Supposedly, so you don't accidentally open the hood while driving. With Bentley being owned by the VW group, possibly why this has the same feature?
How can this record-setting Bentley get the same cool factor score as a 1977 Cadillac? That's just unfair to this car.
@3:40; I know most cars probably are more powerful with their electrical systems nowadays, but when I got my first car with power windows (a 1995 Mercury Tracer), i rolled all four windows down at once then back up again...and blew the fuse. Therefore, I've never rolled down more than two windows at once since.
Did you guys hear the exhaust note on 12:43 amazing👌🏾
Look how fast on the window
Doug the typa guy to give his kids a doug score and then pic favorites and spoil them according
He laughs that loud when his giving the car a bit that you can't even hear the sound of the engine.
TryHarder FTW are you deaf? He clearly said you can't hear shit inside the car, cause well, it's a Bentley.
You said his instead of He's..... I mean that's not even a typo...
Well it was designed just as you say, you can't hear shit in a luxury car.
When you took the corner, you reaction was like a kid in a candy store. I enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work.
Doug the type of guy who reviews car and its crazy quirks
Ba5ic • yes.. that’s exactly what he does
Spot on m8
guy that type of doug to quirk the features
When you don’t know what to watch.. watch doug
8:20
"hey dude, gemme a sec lemme charge my Bentley"
"what"
"what"
Doug the type of guy that says "That's it, no more Mr. Nice Guy" before getting in a fight and losing
Doug is the type of guy that gives you a Doug Score in your sleep then stabs you.
Jeb is a mess.
Fillipe356 , Jeb's a big fat mistake
Hoovies dream (:
Dang...Seems like Washington DC every car you'd want
Doug, in most cars (from my experience) all you have to do to lower all the windows is to hold down either the lock or unlock button (depending on model)
Yo! Yo!! YO!!! YO!!!! That was an impressive awesome review bro. Thanks allot and I thoroughly enjoyed it my men!! Keep up the great work
Did it bother anyone else that it said "one of 720 cars"? Instead of "1 of 720 cars" or "one of seven hundred and twenty cars"?
Drew Eron yes, I'm inconsolable right now
"One Of Billions Of Cars On Earth And Still Counting"
seven hundred twenty* But yeah it bothered me too. Consistency is really pretty simple. I'd think Bentley would have got that by now
Well for essays we were always taught to write out numbers under 10 so maybe Bentley's is just being formal
Just for youtube Seven hundred AND twenty** You Americans really fucked our language up huh? ;) :)
But does it have a bumper to bumper warranty tho
Yzen Al-Marrawi it's a new car, so yes
Doug the type of guy to use all four wheels to roll his suitcase
This felt rushed. I say review it again, this car is beautiful 😍🔥
3.4 seconds for 0 to 100 that thing heavier than my house but still moves like a Ferrari 458
"dug skore"
Two years later there’s a 2017 Continental GT at a dealership near me with 12k miles for $80,000
Shut up and take my monopoly money!
Wheeereeeee?
Leroy Jenkins the continental GT is the base model. They’ve always been cheap.
6:15 That's probably a preventive measure
Seat belt extending arm was available 30 years ago in the Mercedes Benz 560SEC.
Bentley:Fastest 4 seater
Tesla:Hold my battery
Even a 2003 Continental GT is faster than any Tesla.
The Tesla also doesn't do 200+mph
If you hold the Tesla's battery it can't drive Tesla should choose there words more wisely
TriHard Cx wait till 2020
Tesla is not a car, its an appliance.
Doug the type of guy to ask a girl over to his house to watch a movie and do just that.
i love when you come to tysons man everytime you drive around you’re driving on roads i see on a daily basis
12:45 😍 wow man 🚘 That's fast af
Bentley is my city
Josh Eden lmaooooo
Doug is the type of guy to eat fried chicken with a knife and fork
@ 6:11 well I never seen anyone with arms that could reach inside the hood from the passenger seat... have to come out the car anyway, very efficient designs
