I agree with some of the pros and cons listed but I have to disagree on one thing - this car is so much more of a boss choice than a Bentayga.

@2006gtobob 4 жыл бұрын
100% agree. The Benteyga is just ugly. This sedan is stately and says "I've done well in life." The Benteyga says, "Me too, because everyone else is producing ugly or unreliable SUV's!"

Our dear Harry deserves a wake up slap from time to time, indeed. He bashes Bentley for being politically incorrect in a increasingly orwellian marxist anti-automobile regime? Maybe this car was designed with a still free US market in mind thanks to Trump, where I will be purchasing this very same gem but devoid of the Blackline spec in the summer. And was he joking about a plug-in hybrid variant? Weighing 3,000 kilograms and plugging about like a vulgar vacuum cleaner? -sigh-

Vixter _ Yeah I somewhat agree but you’d compare it to the Ghost if anything, I think the Mulsanne would be compared to the Phantom VIII & then you’d compare the Audi, Benz & BMW. So in comparison to it’s competition I can see why some wouldn’t see it as a limo and more of a blend like a Ghost.

My favourite Bentley, and perhaps my favourite car ever. I absolutely love this beast. Probably the only car I would take over the Mercedes-Benz S-Class S650, which I have driven. The Bentley Continental GT Coupé is not really for me. I can get over the looks for sure. I prioritize the feel, luxury, and drive of any car over its looks. I wish I could rent and live with it for a few weeks, at least. I certainly can get use to the large pillars. My C-Class kinda has giant pillars too and so did an older Merc SUV I had. I am in-love with this Bentley and it seems like a joy to drive and sit in. Very luxurious. Cheers, Harry. Stay safe.

Enjoyable video as ever Harry. One thing that the light colour of the test car highlighted for me,and I hadn't really noticed before, is how relatively short the front overhang is thanks to pushing the front axle forward on the new platform. Obviously has the benefit of putting more of the engine behind the axle line too by default. You are correct though, despite being a massively excellent piece of engineering, is it really in tune now with todays mood (even pre CV19) ? Interesting times indeed !

Great review of a great car. I think it looks stunning from the front and side. The rear looks good but I'd say it's the least attractive side of it. The interior is probably the best and most beautiful in the industry. The view out is what disappoints me. I cannot believe the size of that B pillar, compromising access and visibility in an otherwise perfect car! I kinda disagree with you slightly on the engine. I think that engine suits the car perfectly and gives it plenty of effortless performance. This car will never be a rational purchase, it's an ultra-luxury item, and fuel economy isn't a very concerning factor in this specific market. Especially at that price point, there definitely won't be enough of them anyway to create any kind of damage to the environment.

Minor gripe - the windscreen mounted camera is in the way of the road when you're giving it the beans! Noticed this on the beautiful F430 manual review too. Somewhat spoils the 'being there' experience! Both great videos though, thank you. Amazing how quietly you can talk in the Bentley.

Love the front but haven’t been a fan of the rear, prefer the Mulsanne’s rear but overall it’s a good looking car. I’d compare it to the Ghost and compare the Mulsanne to the Phantom VIII, this vehicle in my opinion is a blend between a car that you could be chauffeured in and one you can drive as well and they’ve done a great job.
