It's beautiful, but I still prefer the previous one because of the stunning diamond front light

[@october65-h6e]

Same!

[@yissibiiyte]

Not bad looking by any means, but the squinty headlights make it look more generic and less special than the previous gen.

[@yongchenlu6356]

it's a ugly car, looks cheaper inside and out. It's more like a high end VW than a Bently. Sad🥲

[@Carfan678]

@@yongchenlu6356 Interior looks the SAME 🤣

[@mo_0912]

I agree on the headlights. For me, the whole car looks disjointed, as if three different departments worked on it separately. Not impressed at all.

[@markgeller5900]

Would have like to have seen a bit more of a change, but l will take it all day long. There's nothing like it. However, l sure hope you can delete all that blue crap.

[@ERTZZTRE]

1. The radar sensor is a catastrophe! This was designed so much better in the predecessor. 2. The trunk space is a joke. I think, that Bentley customers want to use the cars for long journeys. 3. What about the weight? Is it the reason for the top speed limit of the GTC?

[@robertcook2572]

Who actually needs more than 660hp at the expense of a much smaller boot?

[@rafaelcarneiro8957]

Not only the screen bezels are gigantic for such a car, but the panel gap in the centre console screen at 9:23 is also thick for such an expensive car, and the whole gimmick feels like a random aftermarket attempt to make the car look cool. I'm real, check the new Dacia Duster's centre console screen, the vertical bezels aren't as wide as Bentley's. On the other hand, the Mazda CX-60 bezels are THICK, but they look way less "cheap". Once again, many brands are too focused on making technological and fast cars, rather than making better cars.

[@dampmaky]

no they needed to keep the front 4 lights thats what keeps a bentley a bentley. I dont know what it is with companies ditching what makes their cars iconic like how bmw ruined their grill and removed the angel lights

[@robertcook2572]

It's a bit like European countries racing to abandon their identities, isn't it?

[@jbaru648]

I like the cross-out line. Bentley CEO explained it, it represents them canceling out something, them canceling out the other headlight. So they’re explaining through art what’s going on. First brand to pull it off successfully

[@davecohn5546]

Headlight a major fail. Bentley should know better.

[@Matt-the-mutt]

that sensor that pokes out from the left of the grill just looks sooooooo bad

[@gideonmuteti1524]

Stop it.. this is the most beautiful Bentley ever

[@steverogers7211]

[@andras.89]

YES, they kept the integrated LCD display for the instruments, I hate when there is just a tablet thrown onto the dash, looks 1000x better with proper sun-shading housing. Also physical buttons, shift-selector, awesome

[@animouierie]

The previous one look better

[@gideonmuteti1524]

Noooo

[@dazpurdon9023]

Thomas, the tool in the rear centre that you didn't know what it was for is the Emergency Release Tool for when the soft top roof won;t automatically go back in to the up postion. There is a hole behind the centre rest where the tool is kept that the tool fits into and it requires 2 people on either side of the car to asist putting the roof back into the closed postion. A handy tool if the roof is down and it wont close automatically and it looks like rain !!

[@MrJudg3]

"And it's supposed to be like a tiger in the front." Yeah, a tiger on meth.

[@ivofixzone6410]

[@andras.89]

Exactly, physical operation has feel to it, luxury is the touch and "click" operation, the weighted buttons, knobs, and fine materials. This is luxury, not the simple display touchpads and capacitive BS, which is just a cheap lazy solution

[@drs.d3799]

Huge shoutout to Bentley for keeping climate controls and physical buttons on the centre console

As a W12 Speed owner I was weary about the release of a total new version of the GTC. Apart from the lights and the ‘stealth’ buttons, I hardly notice any visual change (good for me) :)

[@autogefuehl]

Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. I also bought cars with animal skin leather seats before I did my research and got to know the industry. The most important thing is: With today's modern materials, you have nothing to lose, just to gain. You achieve the same kind of luxury and comfort or even better while having the same or better durability with less impact on humans, animals and the environment. You can use fabric/cloth, microfibre or leatherette. The classic approach is using oil/plastic as source material. Overall, a vehicle contains about 300 kg plastic. A car seat needs about 5 kg plastic. So the overall plastic share for the seats is very low and it is at this moment the most efficient way to produce a car seat. A couple of litres of fuel equals a car seat basically. So if you want to save oil/plastic, rather look at consumption for energy, fuel and heating and to other car parts than the seat. Note that animal skin leather also always contains a plastic coating for durability. However, long-term we should of course find raw oil alternatives. So going further, seats can be made from recyclables (e.g. from PET-bottles or old fishing nets) or even increased share of plant-based materials (like pine oil, canola oil or start-up materials like Pinatex from pineapple leaves or Desertex from cactus fibre or the mixed-plant-based Mirum, so be seen at kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWLEf42bpMano6c). On a calculation base, by ditching animal skin leather from car interiors, the amount of emissions (CO2e) is reduced by 85 (!) % (www.press.bmwgroup.com/africa-dom-easteurope/article/detail/T0403389EN/on-the-market-from-2023:-bmw-and-mini-models-with-vegan-interiors?language=en) - and that is a very conservative calculation. So it is at this moment the most important thing you can do to make car interiors more sustainable. A good example for high-end luxury with ventilated animal free seats is the BMW X7 with Sensafin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6G1f56NbtOlqNk And the Kia EV9 with plant-based oil share: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKe7loOHnsSAd80 New leatherette materials can be superior in every aspect, even for cleaning: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2qXiouAbJeIiqM More and more natural materials are rising: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIO2pIt7o9x7etE Also check out what the animal skin leather industry tried to with our channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIHCdKmCocZ5oqs For seeing how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpzNdHSjppaSbqc Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally. Also a group of researchers and German journalists from public media could recent directly trace the connection between car animal leather production and illegal burning down Amazon rain forest: www.daserste.de/information/reportage-dokumentation/ard-story/videos/illegales-leder-video-100.html In a high animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat is the "first" misuse case, the hide remains a profitable body part. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you demand it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and harms the environment, you make them more profitable. Alternatively, you could support industries with your wallet which try to improve the sustainability of materials. Also, if you turn the argument around to "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize that it doesn't make sense (and is ethically doubtful) to discuss the primary use of individual body parts of mammals. Mind experiment: You are getting slain down on the street; would it matter to you if it was for your smartphone or for your purse? Remember that animal skin leather is no different to fur, fur is just leather where the hair is still on. And fur is widely not accepted for clothing anymore, and of course not for cars. We cannot change what we have bought in the past, but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.

[@subzeroarctics1299]

They really have to put that giant sensor off-center in the main grille? Also, the B logo on the brake pedal is quite gimmicky. Might seem like small things but when you're buying a $200K car, it should be pretty close to perfect.

Considering the design: From the outside it is not surprisingly a new model but kind of face-lift. From the inside almost the previous model, just some small changes. This doesn’t mean that this new update is not good enough, it rather tells that the old model was well developed.

Don’t know if it is still “special”. Rolls Royce Dawn would appear to be a more intriguing purchase in this class of vehicle.

What is the point to ask for a "no animal leather" car , if we eat every day meat ??. I any way the animal is killed. It is like saying kill the animal to eat it, but throw its leather at the bin because we want to be "leather-free".

[@panagope]

@@autogefuehl first of all thank you for your detailed answer. Still , what we should aim for , is to avoid meat consumption, because its where millions of animals are killed every day. Their skin/leather is a byproduct, that we should ofcourse avoid consumption as well. But its not the main reason why animals are killed. Also , as europeans we are a bit hypocrite, we all are because we were educated like that. We say to the brazilians : For centuries, we as europeans destroyed all our big european forests to build our civilazation (houses, factories, offices, monuments, companies , parking lots , etc. But you Brazilians, you are not allowed to do the same thing with your forest. Because WE as western people want to breathe ! We never say that WE should build new forests in our territory, we say that THEY should keep their forests intact for our good...

[@JohnyMcNeal]

​@@panagope4 European countries have more surface covered in forrests than Brasil. Overall Europe has less by 20% but is also densely populated and has less suitable surface for trees if not mistaken. Either way based on everything we as well as some other countries in the world seem to lack forrests.

[@autogefuehl]

Totally agree, meat consumption is the largest problem, however as for leather, you just give money to the very same guys, its a discussion like between "steak" and "filet" and arguing what was the main reason to kill an animal.

[@dazpurdon9023]

the tool is the Emergency Release Tool for the soft top roof. If the roof for any reason gets stuck when down and will not go up automatically, the tool is used to manually put the roof back in the closed position but it takes 2 people to do it, one on either side of the vehicle.

[@kishlayverma6622]

@dazpurdon9023 yes, I was just joking.

[@davec2753]

I like it. It is "objectively" better than the previous version, but some of the subjective factors leave me wanting. I prefer the traditional dual-circle headlights with crystal-like bezels. The W-12 will also be missed despite the phev V-8 being more powerful and emissions-friendly. The 3d texture part of the interior door panel is cool, but i'd rather have a stitched leather pattern (hopefully that option is also available). I could go on, just little stuff like that, but overall this is a very competent re-design. Some things should have been changed more, and other things should not have been changed as much.

[@martinmcdonald4207]

Not too sure if this is an improvement. The front end is not an improvement and everything else seems pretty much the same bar the rear lights, which are cool, unlike those very odd front lights. Will wait for the performance report.

So the Speed is not really replaced, and the "Speed"-brand has to sell the plug-in. Well, the customers probably even like it, the tax is cheaper and it probably still drives well on the Kö. However, calling a car Speed that is 50 km/h slower than its predecessor is quite something :D

No offense, but I don't think people like you can afford a Bentley. If you could, you can get their Mulliner division to trim the interior in any non-leather material you want. The tool you saw is likely for manual roof closing in case the battery is flat.

On a calculation base, by ditching animal skin leather from car interiors, the amount of emissions (CO2e) is reduced by 85 (!) % (www.press.bmwgroup.com/africa-dom-easteurope/article/detail/T0403389EN/on-the-market-from-2023:-bmw-and-mini-models-with-vegan-interiors?language=en) - and that is a very conservative calculation. So it is at this moment the most important thing you can do to make car interiors more sustainable. A good example for high-end luxury with ventilated animal free seats is the BMW X7 with Sensafin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6G1f56NbtOlqNk And the Kia EV9 with plant-based oil share: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKe7loOHnsSAd80 New leatherette materials can be superior in every aspect, even for cleaning: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2qXiouAbJeIiqM More and more natural materials are rising: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIO2pIt7o9x7etE Also check out what the animal skin leather industry tried to with our channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIHCdKmCocZ5oqs For seeing how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpzNdHSjppaSbqc Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally. Also a group of researchers and German journalists from public media could recent directly trace the connection between car animal leather production and illegal burning down Amazon rain forest: www.daserste.de/information/reportage-dokumentation/ard-story/videos/illegales-leder-video-100.html In a high animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat is the "first" misuse case, the hide remains a profitable body part. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you demand it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and harms the environment, you make them more profitable. Alternatively, you could support industries with your wallet which try to improve the sustainability of materials. Also, if you turn the argument around to "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize that it doesn't make sense (and is ethically doubtful) to discuss the primary use of individual body parts of mammals. Mind experiment: You are getting slain down on the street; would it matter to you if it was for your smartphone or for your purse? Remember that animal skin leather is no different to fur, fur is just leather where the hair is still on. And fur is widely not accepted for clothing anymore, and of course not for cars.

Thanks for hint for the tool! The Bentley folks on location didnt even know about that!

[@autogefuehl]

The problem is that if they dont offer animal free solution from works, they have to do crash tests for an individual customer and that doesnt happen. The interior materials are safety relevant for deploying of airbags etc.

[@jenny80myles]

@@autogefuehl You have much better access to the auto maker than I do, but I am pretty sure they have to meet safety standards even for a one-off. So I wouldn't worry about airbag not working correctly if you customize your interior. By the way, I am not against using non-leather. I am just pointing out Bentley is a little different from your average auto maker. If you don't like their standard offering. You have options and most Bentley buyer will exercise those options.

[@autogefuehl]

I asked them if they can supply animal free, there were some special editions they made for the Mulsanne but not much news after that. I can specifically re-ask if Mulliner can do that but last time the answer was no. I even visited Crewe plant. At Rolls Royce for example, they were explicitly hating on vegans with their old CEO. Might change with new CEO

[@philproctor6856]

Lovely design but surely they could shorten the bonnet and find space to make rear seats useable

[@saonedixon5476]

Looks better with the two headlights instead of the four headlight spider eyes look 😅

[@stallis2009]

Sorry, but the front still echoes of Toyota Corolla (gen E110)

[@enriqueali]

I'm on the fence about the new hesdlichts. Different or 'interesting' looking doesn't automatically mean better looking.

🙏🙏

[@Roy-qn2ie]

I dont know what that tool is for but when my Bentley is ready ill let you know xD

[@addij3689]

the most iconic feature of Bentleys is the dual headlights, the designer needs to be fired!!

[@EagleOne2537]

I've always loved this channel ant in particular Thomas attiture and politeness. However htere is one thinlk I can't stand is mantra about anima free seats. I've neven been a big fan of leather but thinking that artificial leather is more sustainable is not a correct message. No animal have never been killed just to manufacture leather. Leather is a good way to recycle somethign that would be wasted anyway. On the other hand artificial leather is produced from fossil fuels. During the production or destruction may produce dioxins toxic to humans and animals. Whenthe leatherette will be disposed it does not decompose like genuine leather and can release dangerous chemicals into the water and soil. So welcome to "animal skin" over the Leatherette. So why not to use natural fabric insead?

[@autogefuehl]

Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. I also bought cars with animal skin leather seats before I did my research and got to know the industry. The most important thing is: With today's modern materials, you have nothing to lose, just to gain. You achieve the same kind of luxury and comfort or even better while having the same or better durability with less impact on humans, animals and the environment. You can use fabric/cloth, microfibre or leatherette. The classic approach is using oil/plastic as source material. Overall, a vehicle contains about 300 kg plastic. A car seat needs about 5 kg plastic. So the overall plastic share for the seats is very low and it is at this moment the most efficient way to produce a car seat. A couple of litres of fuel equals a car seat basically. So if you want to save oil/plastic, rather look at consumption for energy, fuel and heating and to other car parts than the seat. Note that animal skin leather also always contains a plastic coating for durability. However, long-term we should of course find raw oil alternatives. So going further, seats can be made from recyclables (e.g. from PET-bottles or old fishing nets) or even increased share of plant-based materials (like pine oil, canola oil or start-up materials like Pinatex from pineapple leaves or Desertex from cactus fibre or the mixed-plant-based Mirum, so be seen at kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWLEf42bpMano6c).

Thank you Thomas for 5:30 stating Bentley needs to hurry up and make fully animal free interiors.

[@autogefuehl]

thanks my friend !

Looks like a car barbie would drive

That interior Leather looks Goooood Headlight nooo

[@saintetienne755]

Beautiful - like Leah - so glad she could "fit in the back" ☺

[@TheRTM]

I really do not like the headlights. I'm hoping that it's an option and not standard issue.
