very likable character this man has... he seems darn knowledgeable about throughly educated on topics he talks about, he really knows what he's talking about, keep these coming

[@BLACKONBLACK50]

Motoman you have a great show you deserve more view count

[@justjacqueline2004]

Beautiful car splendidly videoed and presented,thank you.

[@IceDree]

Norway is an amazing country & have plenty of breath taking views! One of my friends is a Norwegian & she used to post cool pictures all the time, I sure do love to visit Norway one day. I was wondering if you gonna mention that bridge . . . ;) back to the Bentley, I've seen a supporter of the Continental GT since it launched back in 03 ... But I'm not particularly fond of the new changes ... It feels like they changed it for the sake of change., the front end could've been better & the side vent is ... Frankly unnecessary (looks cool on the Spur but not on the GT) ... Maybe I'll change my mind when I see it in person. I think the 2012-2013 Continental GTSpeed is the best looking one so far. My pick would be the GTspeed Coupe, followed by the W12 & the V8 S at last .... well, as I mentioned before, here in Saudi Arabia, 5% of the car's value (already included in the sticker price), $80 for the plates & that's it .... You are good to go. now, since you drove the new Continental line & the S6x coupe .... Which one would you take?

[@MotoManTV]

IceDree I've said it before and I'll say it again - one of the best tax schemes on cars - period.

[@IceDree]

MotoManTV Haha I agree!

[@steffenfinstad2380]

IceDree Im jealous, as a Norwegian, buying cars like Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini etc... will cost you so much in taxes its just ridiculous.

[@IceDree]

SF Fitness Any car is expensive in Norway. Beautiful Country, Nice People, Cool Weather, Free Education ... Etc , but man I feel bad for enthusiasts there ... Expensive Cars, Expensive Fuel... etc. Hang in there

[@jameshardman4856]

not in Britten I have a rollsroyce wraith and its tax is so cheep in taxes and mot

[@drjones-ph5hv]

Well i shared you 4the 1st time this was very good. I would love the speed, im in USA!

[@orangegreenify]

I would go for the GT V8 S Coupe. It has got better sound, better weight distribution and is cheaper. There is really nothing that makes the W12 more attractive besides that you know its the fastest and the most expensive. Me, from Germany Yearly tax on W12: 606€ V8: 390 €

[@slabsides1]

I'd go with the V-8s. It has nearly the same power as the W-12 but much more athletic and fun to drive for about $75,000 less here in the U.S. There really is no reason to buy the W-12 anymore except bragging rights that you have more cylinders than the car next to you.

[@WhoIsNickL]

I always loved Bentley but their resale prices are so low! Why is that?

[@sexyitalian891]

Live in Canada. I'd get the W12 Speed. Love the W engines.

[@75KoDe]

Great! I love Norway so much!! One of THE most beautiful country I've visited.

[@andyhoov]

Was this video sponsored by Norway's tourism board? Because I have a strong desire to visit there now. When it comes to which car I would get, I tend to lean more towards driving dynamics, so I would probably be most interested in the V8S. However, let's be honest here, if the driving dynamics are what matter most to you, the you would probably not be looking at a Bentley in the first place. Considering that, I would go the grand tourer route and get one of those big V12s. And I'm an American, and as much as we like bitching about taxes here, I know that when it comes to cars we have it easy compared to most of the rest of the world.

[@cuethecritic]

I would want the W12 but that's because I always want the biggest engine possible. I live in KZbin Space LA 😝

[@Patryk_Luna]

I really love the amount of detail you go into. SO many questions answered. Thank you! V8 S convertible all the way!

[@snd36977]

Just changed 2015 Speed to 2016 V8s few month ago.I like V8s but I prefer Speed because of silkyness of the w12 engine.Like you said, it is really depends on the preference. :)P.S.Naim stereo option is good but it's huge unit limitates the trunk space.

[@Kassiusday]

What difference and feeling to get when comparing V8 to V12 ???

[@targaflorio3239]

Great episode and what a location. From Australia. I'll take the Bentley W12. Car Import taxes here in Australia are so outrageous, we basically pay two to three times the retail price charged in the US. Both the W12 and V8 are close to $US400,000. So given that, I'll take the one with the extra cylinders and performance. Nice job as always MotoMan.

[@anthonypusillo2344]

Great channel and always relevant product description. No favorites, just pure facts the way it should be. Great comparisons as well. For me in Florida, I'd go for the Conti GT convertible. However, would like the GTS Speed but may need to settle (yeah) for the v8 S model. My wife told me old people drive the Conti's in Fla so will most likely go for the Maserati convertible.

[@golgo1398]

This is by far one of your best episodes, MotoMan, thanks to the Norwegian landscape, that short history lesson, and factory bits =] l'm in America, if i won the lotto the the 626 HP GT W12 Speed because why not lel

[@bob808]

I'd love a V8S. The sound is awesome, and I like the idea that its 'sporty'. But, not the latest version as reviewed here, I'm not a fan of the fender vents and the front bumper. The previous V8S was/is perfect! Well there is one HUGE problem, no sunroof. Not even a glass roof is available. Bentley needs to rectify that, stat! (And no, I wouldn't take the convertible, they look a bit weird with the roof up.) Here in Australia though, if I spec'd a V8S Coupe to my taste, I'd be looking at AU$500,000. So it's definitely a 'lotto' car for a regular guy like me.

[@1776alltheway]

stunning perhaps best video you guys ever made

[@RockyRacoon66]

The v8 models utilise the hot v layout for their turbos, which is great for throttle response but bad for cooking turbos. Treat the v8 engines with great care, never drive them hard from cold and always drive them gently before shutting down. Failure to do this and you will cook your turbos. This applies to some Audi engine models too.

[@henningvauleberntsen7369]

I live inn norway. Where there is more tesla's than golf's. The bentley kost about 3 milion kr. A tesla kost 800 000 kr. But i would have purchased the w12, because of the sound it make when starting up! Wich i love more than anything! When you are first going to buy a bentley, buy the best!

[@fresmy]

Hi Motoman, Just to correct you on one statement in the video regarding Road Toll... Yes, they may have gotten the money back for this road, but they will never quit Road Tool, they just move the booth up the road to start collecting "for the next turn" for about ten years... Then the next... The sad thing is that we pay a lot more then we get back. They build some nice roads, but they haven't learned to how to maintain them properly. Roads in Norway are in general pretty bad, nationally! Sad! Hope you enjoyed Norway ;-)

[@cyccaesar]

regardless of tax schemes the V8S all the way, its more engaging and "alive" as u said....... You should make a comparison video of it, pitting it against the mighty S63 coupe 4matic (evil smile)

[@BladeBarn]

Miss my glacier white w12. Looking for a mint condition supersports right now

[@aerec9421]

hey motoman, I like your videos! But I think you can do better with sounds. Sometime it's hard to hear what you are saying, sometimes it doesn't sounds as good as it should be when you show us the engine exhaust.

[@mrgjk01]

nice car review again motoman !! i woudl choose the bentley GT coupe not the convertible GT :D

[@michelangelobuonarroti3752]

does the 8 cylinder version also have a deactivation? if so, i would choose the V8 S ... USA

[@kaanofluoglu2858]

in america ferrari 458 spiders are 300-350.000 usd in turkey they are 650.000 euros

[@Kassiusday]

What difference and feeling to get when comparing V8 to V12 ???

[@RaphaelNation]

Why is there a Mercedes Benz at 6:27?

[@914castro]

Two doors wegon or regular wagon sport. Would be absolutely great. What you think motor man. Lol

[@damon23vr]

Great review, big fan of Bentley's and Porsche. Do like the details in your reviews. Complete, is the word that comes to mind. 2 questions for you...? 1) when is the new gt out? and is it a new facelift 2017? 2) which would you buy and why..... a Bentley Continental GT Speed 2017 or a Rolls Royce Wraith Black badge 2017?

[@MotoManTV]

If I'm honest . . . neither. I would do a Mulsanne (kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJKQq3asf9ani68). However, if pushed for a between the Bentley and the Wraith - a V8 S Bentley. I do like the way the Rolls looks but not the way it drives.

[@PaulBrunache]

MotoManTV Great review as usual. A question : The bentley or the FF or The bentley or the F12? I'm a big fan of this car the Bentley special the W12. I could include the new S-class but not the same league just because of value but it can be the NSX of this group. I love V12. I 'm from Haiti, living Montreal. You app is Dope it's smooth, luxurious and beautiful.

[@MotoManTV]

+Paul Edmond Hey Paul . . . Thanks for the feedback on the app . . . as to your question . . . All things being equal, I would personally go with the F12 however that is hard to say because the F12 is *considerably* more than a Continental . . .

[@bilalsyed5310]

This car, the DB9 or the S63 AMG Coupe?

[@Kdubzlovescars]

Power/sound/train pull. And from USA

[@paulsusie]
