Man you got some high quality videos right there! Camera work is very nice...although are you using footage from different sources or is this all done by you/your team?
Nah, Nick wasn't able to attend, so I had to lean on the crew that was there for footage. The footage clearly benefitted by them having a freaking helicopter!
Thanks for the videos Brian. I think I have watched this about twenty times (aswell as your other on the V8S) while I waited for my 2016 V8S to arrive. Finally pick it up tomorrow. Keep up the good work
How was the infotainment system on these 2016s? I keep seeing that it was previously very slow to respond, which is a shame on such an otherwise outstanding vehicle.
Jimmy Hiltz It's the same as 2012-2015, but I don't find it particularly slower than any other system. We just tested the 2015 GT3-R and lived with it for a few days, and I didn't have any issues with it - ruclips.net/video/VvIgyDMRL20/видео.html - which model year are you referring to?
"There's simply not another grand-touring, 2-door with space for four, and has this Bentley's level of luxury, comfort, power, and all-weather traction." HOLD UP. What about the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG 4Matic Coupe? That ticks ALL those boxes, and does so better than this Bentley.
Brian Makse Like I said, it ticks all the same boxes, AND it's cheaper to boot. In what area is this Bentley (undoubtedly a fine car) better than an S63 AMG Coupe?
Brian Makse And what's that? The "B" on the front? If I were in the market for a car that ticks all the boxes you mentioned, I would go for the car with more power and more features, and that's the Mercedes.
mugdays Indeed. There are sometimes buyers who go for cheaper. None that I know, but I'm sure some do. The ones that I know are interested in discussing the subtleties between the Continental GT V8 and W12 or the Continental GT and Aston Martin Vanquish or Rolls-Royce Wraith.
Great video as always Brian. By the way what type of color was that Bentley you were in, was it beluga or some other type of black. It's just such a beautiful color.
Thanks, Jordan. I can't recall which colour that was and can't find it in my notes. Bentley has a wide palette of standard colours and I'm sure this is among them.
+Daniel Agha I prefer the Continental GT V8 S model, and the 2016 is even better. Here's our old review of the V8 S: ruclips.net/video/z1TCdc0sPIk/видео.html
My favorite luxury grand tourer coupe.
I like that you have used valleys and other beautiful roads around my home town! Great review aswell!
+Trygve Velle Thank you! That's a beautiful part of the world. I really enjoyed driving there.
Did you do a review of the GT speed 2016 ?
Probably. I think we’ve covered every Bentley except the hybrids.
Excellent review Brian. Thorough & to the point. Bravo!
Steve W Thanks, Steve!
Perfect review for a masterpiece automobile.
+Steven Alexander Thanks!
The car, the bridge and the scenery are all stunning.
+craig doss Thanks!
+Brian Makse Where is it, England? but I don't see any old castles around.
He said it was Norway.

Another wonderful review and..........stunning videography!
Thanks! Much credit due do the camera crew that was there.
Thanks for the videos Brian. I think I have watched this about twenty times (aswell as your other on the V8S) while I waited for my 2016 V8S to arrive. Finally pick it up tomorrow. Keep up the good work
Could you give the name of the place in Norway? so beautiful, as well as the car
PeterP here. Nice work as usual Bri.
Love your reviews. Would u go for a 16' gtspeed or wait for the 2017 hp increase?

love the purple coloured one looks stunning thanks again for the video Brian ;-)
+Harry Smith Thanks, Harry!
very very very beautiful car.
Now thats wat i call a review
Great review, clear and convincing !
Glad it was helpful!

mugdays What about it?
Brian Makse
Like I said, it ticks all the same boxes, AND it's cheaper to boot. In what area is this Bentley (undoubtedly a fine car) better than an S63 AMG Coupe?
mugdays The most important one. Buyers in this category aren't in it to save money, mate.
Brian Makse
And what's that? The "B" on the front?
If I were in the market for a car that ticks all the boxes you mentioned, I would go for the car with more power and more features, and that's the Mercedes.

Which do you prefer this or the vanquish
Great review Brian as always. Can you review 2016 jaguar f type R coupe 4 wheel drive. thank you. keep up the good work.😊
+Michael Lui Stay tuned!
Great video as always Brian. By the way what type of color was that Bentley you were in, was it beluga or some other type of black. It's just such a beautiful color.
Thanks, Jordan. I can't recall which colour that was and can't find it in my notes. Bentley has a wide palette of standard colours and I'm sure this is among them.
As always; a pleasure to watch your review.
+Francisco Espírito-Santo Thanks Francisco!
Have they added blind spot monitoring yet??
Totally useless feature. Set your mirrors properly + pay attention = no blind spots.
How do you like the V8 variant more than the W12?
+Daniel Agha I prefer the Continental GT V8 S model, and the 2016 is even better. Here's our old review of the V8 S: ruclips.net/video/z1TCdc0sPIk/видео.html
GREAT Video & I agree with you the V8S is the best. I BOUGHT ONE!
+Net Millionaire Thanks! What spec/colour did you get?
Does is finally have a USB port?
Since I stated testing Bentleys in 2012 they've had USB ports, except the Mulsanne I tested years ago.
Oh what a beautiful motor car. If only a lotto win would come my way :)
+Gordon Clark Don't worry. It shall be well.
Thanks achiepalaago a nice prophesy.
+Gordon Clark Who needs the lotto when you have a powerful mind to create wealth for yourself. The odds are better that way.
+Steven Alexander You are probably right
For those wondering where this, is it's here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storseisundet_Bridge . You can see it at 4:12 ; )
Beautiful!
demorestautosport Thanks ROBTASTIC!
DREAM CAR 😍
beautiful
So quiet
I know a few Jewish bankers with this car. I only drive a BMW M5 I am super poor.
lol you poor fellow 😂😂 ill give you one of my masseratis maybe you can sell it xD
Seating for four?? LOLOL. Come on, man. At least be honest. Seating for 3 maybe, or two child seats in the back.
+cavaleer have you put four adults in a Continental? I have.
Pics please.
And for the record, I'm thinking about buying one of these but the lack of legit 4 seating is a deal-breaker.
+cavaleer give me a sec. I have to go back in time theee years and remind my younger self to take pics.
