The new 2023 Bentley Continental GT Speed is unreal it's like a Baby Bugatti at a bargain price !! The 2023 Bentley Continental Flying Spur Speed is out now too !

[@shardie78239]

I have to say that color combination is absolutely stunning. The red is awesome. I can only imagine how cool it is in person.

[@natbarron]

The photography with the fog is 🔥

[@sammooresphoto]

🙏🏻

[@danielkhong1980]

Wow with the car moving, there is zero road noise recorded into the video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@jimj2683]

People drive around in lorries much wider than this. It is all about practice and building up driving skill and intuition.

[@p.h.234]

Mammoth of a car - looks gorgeous in that colour too.

[@sammooresphoto]

So big 😂. I’m definitely warming to this shade

[@andrewmacleod5885]

The fog shots are incredible, proper desktop background images!

[@sammooresphoto]

Glad you like them!

[@simonmurfin1910]

I do like these. I passed you driving this car towards Kew a while back

[@ForecourtFilms]

Vw touareg and I think most 5 series have the headrests that come forward. It's a great feature 👍

[@makeitveryeasy]

I m in love with this car.❤️

[@MyMax1001]

Amazingly Beautiful Car!!!!!!💫💫💫💫💫

[@jamielancaster01]

The length and width is almost the exact same as my 2022 Lincoln Navigator.

[@sammooresphoto]

haha, MASSIVE

[@RedLeo-pf9yo]

I luv it !!!

[@mindaugaskliukas8667]

A "like" for the "Spying flur"! You can never go wrong with the word play! Hilarious!;)

[@UMNRZ]

Great video! 👌🏽 What's your camera and mic set up on the windscreen?

[@sammooresphoto]

Mic under my t-shirt and the driver cam is an Insta360 one R

[@henryhol8538]

What a comfy car! I wonder if by volume it twice that of your 208? Which is better, this or its comparative Rolls Royce? Will we be seeing the Bentley in the Shmee Museum channel as well?

[@sammooresphoto]

😂 probably! No shmuseum video on this and I really want to drive a Ghost to compare!

[@larshartmann609]

Very nice.. Detailed Info. Myself I am driving a BMW F01 750I from 2009. Could you tell me the difference in Driving Dynamics.. Chassis Stiffness, Steering Sharpness and Suspension? I am so curious about it.. Since I am unfortunately not able to Test Drive these Cars ..

[@sammooresphoto]

Hey, unfortunately I’ve not driven your model car so I can’t really help with the vs ☹️. I suspect your car (depending on wheels) will ride a bit better but be less direct and stable. When you push on the bentley rides very flat

[@Aoi_Fans]

It's like the ultimate w"nker wagon. 🤣

[@sammooresphoto]

loool

[@rjkka7260]

Lovely car. Super car, but the price..........keep saving stamps from my supermarket. Might get there one day.

[@faisalrehman7089]

Where are the reversing lights situated?

[@liamcinq]

I'm sure 'comfort' seats in a BMW let you bend the top of the backrest forward which brings the headrest towards you.

[@sammooresphoto]

Interesting, I’ll experiment next time I’m in something like that

[@martingorringe6304]

Have you sold the 812 or do you have that and the Lusso?

[@sammooresphoto]

812 has gone, Lusso is here

[@bigpants6121]

On ' Harry's Garage' he said he was a bit concerned with the visibility of the road from his right side? Is that because he is 6'2"? What petrol did you use E5 or E10? Do you call Bentley if you get a flat tyre?

[@sammooresphoto]

Interesting, presumably because the B pillar is right there. I sit pretty far forward relative to most people my height (6ft) and don’t recall it being much of an issue

[@sammooresphoto]

It says E10 on the cap and I was sort of filling up just because so I put that in. Presumably there are an army of minions around the UK waiting to change the tyres for you.

[@bigpants6121]

@@sammooresphoto It looked ok for you!

[@bigpants6121]

@@sammooresphoto Thx. E10 seems to be fine.

[@hamlinsondra]

Love these cars. Had to laugh, though. The review was that of someone who stole the car, knowing only a little about it.

[@shamsulalamin4956]

What’s the name of the colour?

[@jeebus2121]

Wait a moment, you have a GTC4Lusso and haven't done a review or walkaround for the channel? For shame.

[@sammooresphoto]

Nope

[@sammooresphoto]

Ok, Flying Spur or Ghost?

[@martinjames8836]

Ghost for me, "less" depreciation :-p

[@sammooresphoto]

@@martinjames8836 I'm very keen to drive the new Ghost. Both available at a hefty discount after a few years.

[@jeebus2121]

Ghost. If I'm going for absolute luxury, it's hard to beat a car with foam-filled tires, those supplemental vibration cancellation items on the suspension, etc.

[@000GunterGabriel000]

@@sammooresphoto Jepp, seems to be the right choice to wait 2-3 years and buy then.

[@sammooresphoto]

@@jeebus2121 absolutely, i need me some foam tyres on my daily

[@jbaru648]

In 4 years this will be selling for 50 percent off

[@dr-ok3sn]

you should upgrade your cameras, they are sharp but the colors are awful and completely blown out, especially the interior shots are looking like you used an iPhone 4. such a shame for someone who's such a good photographer

[@sammooresphoto]

Thanks for the feedback it’s a constant annoyance. Constantly trying to improve without crazy extra gear setup etc
