first.

It's like if Jaguar asked Audi to design the next F-Type

if Bentley gets rid of their iconic round head lights I will be throwing hands

Loved the lowkey cocaine joke😂 Otherwise great review of a brilliant car 🔥

The exterior styling looks like something from Hyundai/Genesis designers. Tons of styling cues from prominent luxury marques stitched together into a very attractive but generic package. I can’t help but be reminded of Jag lights, an Audi roof, an SL rear, etc. The Conti GT in its original form is undoubtedly a BENTLEY.

I prefer the styling of the continental gt. This one seems a bit too generic and doesn't look like a Bentley to me. The interior however is cool and the gold accents surprisingly tasteful.

Mat wiping his nose after telling something else is 50 pound per gram.😂😂😂

If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You most look outward if you wanna be successful in life.

9:53 lol Matt I too would play with that every day, the weight of those knobs are perfect and satistfying

7:29 is pure genius

As much as I would like to love this Bentley, I can't just overlook the fact that they removed most of the originality of this car by replacing their signature headlights with those new ones. This new Bentley doesn't feel like a "BENTLEY". It just looks like some other car. Doesn't have have Bentley feel to it except the interior and ride quality of course.

That intro and Matt's smile definitely made hit that like button today 👍

I love Bentley! They make luxurious sports cars! I love their W12 engine! I will buy a Bentley Continental GT in future!

I still prefer the current continental GT.

The rear looks like a Jaguar 😀

I love the C-Pillar treatment combined with the rear fender haunches, although It's been done before on the Audi A5, 2009 Chevy Malibu as well as the VW Phaeton. I agree that the rear black panel looks kinda cheap, though. I'm not ready to abandon the round bentley headlights and the signature B logo tailights either.

3:05 i love this bit!

7:26 God damnit Mat 😂😂😂

What a good looking car. I like this front end a lot more than the traditional round headlights. I’m not as sure about the rear end but the front and sides look amazing.

...laminate looks better indeed. Didn't want to disturb your privacy at MK Ikea this Sunday:) but it was good to see you in person!

Talk about real craftsmanship and attention to details really exquisite workmanship 👍👍

Now we cant tell Genesis and Bentley apart

Looks great! They've done a great job! Exept the back and front lights... they look a lot like Aston Martin Vantage. Great to see the torque numbers match the HP numbers. But to think back in 2004 MB made their most powerful engine with 612PS and 1000Nm, 18 years later Bentley manages do the same but with 130 more HP. Some brains they had at MB back then!

Looks the best from a side-profile view. Rear(quarter) views look ok and could be redesigned evocatively Bentley, and perhaps have the rear stretched a little to give the care a sweeping majestic profile. Front view is where it’s the weakest especially with those derivative headlights.

THE COKE PUN WAS SMOOTH

Those alloys look they've come from a budget runabout. The whole design is something if you slapped an MG badge and EV badge on the back it wouldn't surprise people.

For me a 100k+ sport car is good looking with great engines and thrilling sound (which is already gone nowadays) with them going electric i don't see myself wanting anything more than a tycan

Love the green shoelaces in the engine bay btw 👌 Is that the bonnet release?

0:37 - I don't know what that is, but I love the hell out of it.

This year, we're losing SO many great cars and engines! Bugatti's W16, Bentley's W12, Toyota's V8, etc... So sad to see... Edit: I am reading a lot of these comments, to be clear, I am NOT an EV hater, I fully support electric vehicles and I think we should protect our planet, but it is just sad to see such amazing technical marvels just be thrown into the bin.

I really like how little gold there is in the interior. It makes it classy, not tacky.

BEAUTIFUL BEAST !!! such a piece of art... ❤️

1:45 good lord Matt that arm tan line 😂 or are you the limited edition with the 2 tone bespoke version lol

as Indonesian, i really feel honored as bentley named it after one of Indonesian mountain for their most powerful and expensive model

Is it just me or the side view absolutely screams Audi E-Tron GT... nevertheless what a machine from Bentley🔥

😂😂😂😂😂Rest in Peace🙏🏾 instead of Resting Beast sent me rolling! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That’s beautiful, a proper head turner

What always distinguished the forerunners of this car was that, in certain ways, they looked like nothing else in this segment. This was down to some key proportion and characterising details in the design. Notably, these included very pronounced and proportionally substantial rear arches with strong crease lines and geometric relationships between details such as vents, surface lines and glasshouse shapes etc. Other essential identifying traits included Bentley motifs signature shapes in the rear lights and side vents - here, needlessly removed. This car not only changes the overall proportions from the side view, making it look much less low and long (not necessarily a bad thing but a radical departure from a key identifier of the car's linage) but critically brings in pastiche elements from brands that rank below it. It also fails to cohere these various changes in the relationships between lines shapes and proportions. The overall roof line is overtly taken from the last 20 years of Mercedes coupes and the rear is a, jarringly incoherent, pilfering of the rear end treatments of just about every Aston Martin coupe of the last decade. This produces a superficially arresting and attention grabbing design but at the expense of trading off key and unique brand-identifying elements. Don't get me wrong I like this - but I won't for long and I can't say its a cohesive or mature design when compared to others that made the brand so memorable. This is a, comparatively cheap, and ultimately sub-par design by Bentley standards (however superficially modish and fun). Add to that the aftermarket looking wheels, with none of style-over-fashion design that usually distinguishes the brand, and the failure of this car to be a true modernisation, rather than a high street me-too pretender, is all too apparent. This puzzling bit of fashion signalling design will never be a classic. If it was a Hyundai Genesis product (or anything from the Audi stable) I'd think it was great - but it's not is it?

wow, such a beautiful Genesis!

Finally, a Bentley with good looking head and tail lights. Thanks Andreas!

I Like the Design a lot and the sweet Smile in the Front it makes it look gorgeous and badass at the Same Moment Well done Bentley 👍🏼

a bentley without a round headlight is no bentley to me , even tho i can not run one

I do i love Bentley. Is my favorite cats brand. And this one looks amazing. But i would have never changed the front lights. They were sometging what maded bentley totally diferent from other cars. This new one looks amazing but becomes another luxury expensive car as many others. Perhaps Iam a bit classic but the front lights were something unique from Bentley. Best regards

Stunning spacecraft. Love it.

Reminds me of Bruce from Finding Nemo. Drives up, "Ello ma name's Bruce" 😂

Amazing this car is, it got revealed to us about 4 weeks ago during a company meeting so hard not to take a picture of Bentley has so much more cool stuff going ahead in the future like the dream factory I’m so happy I’m part of the team if anyone has time I would highly recommend checking it out

The fact that Bentley is owned by Volkswagen gives me life 😂😂

Simple yet good looking, it may be on the list of the best looking cars ever

Fantastic, it looks almost as good as a normal Bentley Continental GT

Damn, this is by far the best looking modern Bentley i´ve seen. EDIT: LMAO Mat, now we know why you are so hyped up at times! 50 £ per gram seems rather cheap tho. 😆👌

thank you bentley for being inspired to use the name of a volcanic lake from Indonesia for the name of his newest car 🔥🇮🇩

7:27 😭😭 hows everyone missed this lol

I really hope someday one of this car will visit Bali, and actually go to see Lake Batur

Looks like a win! Well done to all who made it a reality - impressive work. Thanks again Matt for pointing out the bits

I love the design of the car but I’m questioning the functionality of the boot. The continental gt has quite a good amount of space and a well functioning boot. But since only 18 are made, i guess it won’t matter

Hi Matt what a beautiful car best looking I’ve seen so far.

Wow! It looks like it got alot of insperation for a sharks head my opinion! Absolutely love it!

Matt are you gonna do another all electric race? (Rimac Nevera, Tesla Plaid, Audi E-tron, and Porsche Tycan

This Bentley looks amazing! , I believe Merc made a terrible decision discontinuing the S class Coupe. And No ! the SL is / had always been a different product.

A beautiful beast. Bentley styling doesn't generally do it for me, but this is something very special. WO would be proud.

Matt… the gold knob motif on the side match the front grill!

I love it. Very elegant and easy on the eyes. Gotta be one of the best looking Bentleys ever made.

now they dont even have the iconic double headlights :(

That’s a really good looking Bentley🤩

Really digging the guitar comparison! Next time maybe we will see Mat in an Gibson review?

7:28... what else cost 50 pound per gram ??? 😂😂😂

The front is all Bentley Continental. The rear is all Aston Martin. The whole is all gorgeous. A stunning car. Though I can see the chavs breaking into it with a crowbar just to quickly remove those 18 carat gold adornments and melt it down to sell.

8:14 Nice triceps 💪😂

7:26 🤣🤣🤣bro why'd you sniff your nose 🤣🤣🤣

Looks stunning

Best looking Bentley ever, if you removed the badging you wouldn’t know it’s a Bentley

That gold starter button needs to be in everything car

Amazing looking machine, favourite Bentley to date.

I love when a simple design can be so loud. Great job Bentley

This looks like it was styled for someone who doesn't want to be seen driving a Bentley so they disguised the front end as generically as possible.

3:06 Dude that was hilarious xDDDDD

I love it. A fresh new look for Bentley.

It looks....... nice while the existing Conti GT looks fantastic and like a proper Bentley. This looks like something Merc would do for a new Maybach Coupe. It's stylist came from Audi? I can see that. The gold highlighting looks like something a Saudi prince would specify.

Bentley always comes through 🔥

Wow, proud of Batur Mountain, Bali-Indonesia 😁😁😁

It's another absolutely insane video!

I love how carmakers are going full circle back to the old 1920s days where you bought a chassis and had a diffrent body on. Bugatti used Chiron platform for like Chiron, Sport, Pur Sport, Chiron SS, Divo, Mistral, Centodieci, Bolide.. This is probably the first Bently to go to the same trend where they will use to Conti GT platoform to build custom body cars that cost 30% more

If luxury carmakers didn't also have to please 8yr customers their cars would look truly amazing

I thought you said The Bentley Battler ... too bad, that would have been Epic AF

signature waveform... its a stiker... wow

Bentley literally took away its most identifying features on its cars. The round head lights. They are unmistakable. I literally could not tell that was a Bentley at first glance. It could be any of the upmarket brands. How ever it is with out a doubt a stunning looking vehicle.

I'm liking the aKRAPovic exhaust system....

Bentley Batur is one of the coolest looking car ever! I'm a huge Bentley fanboy!

This is what the Continental GT should have looked like, it looks stunning!

Beautiful car, handsome presenter, perfection.

Love the coke reference from Mat lmao, also I think the grille kinda looks like that dinosaur with the beak idk what it's called whilst the headlights remind me of pigeons??? Great design though.

Agreed its absolutely stunning. I imagine its stunning to drive too and just be in.

I was wonder why the window trim looks like an Audi RS5 coupe ... it all makes sense now 🤣

What a stunning looking car. Makes me wish for an RS7 Coupé. But I guess... politics ☺

Batur! wow someday maybe i will buy it

this is a piece of art !!!

I wish Mat did more content on the affordable brands, which was the reason I follow the channel. Enjoying these sneak peak but it seems the balance of the show is shifting from car review to car entertainment with, in my opinion, too much ultra luxury and drag race. Where is my yearly Merc Bmw Audi comparison, best family practical mpv, best hot hatch...

Congratulations to VW's Bentley! It took them 20 years to move from Skoda to Audi! Who says that progress is a slow process?

Mat should get that as a pendant

Great video Mat!😸
