  • I can understand going from a V12 engine to a V8 Hybrid , but i can't understand the reasoning behind the headlight design .... It was a distinct Feature , i always new in my rear view mirror that I'm gonna be overtaken by a Bentley.... It was a feeling
  • Brilliant review by the charismatic Alex, informative and fun.

    @AutoTrader is the best automotive channel reviewer of all 💯🔥🎉

    I really like the shape of the lights also the attention to detail, true craftsmanship

    Front lights; yeah I'm just learning 3d modeling in Blender .... it's my first day ... I'm kind of finished with the project already.

    The best thing about this video is the script and the oh so verbally skilled presenter. Even eyes outshining the headlights. ;)
  • Now only if all the automakers can concentrate on bringing the weight down on vehicles, improving the materials then increasing the output of motors
  • Excellent review! RIP W12, but at least this powertrain isn't anemic, albeit more complicated in the name of fuel efficiency. Wonder how it will perform in IRL testing & long term. Those headlights remind me a little bit of the Baytur but I do miss the round quad headlights. My pops had a early MK1 Speed & those headlights made it stand out.
  • The upgrades are welcome… except for the headlights. Thats not an upgrade.

    What does “Wireless Smartphone Mirroring” mean? Is that Wireless Apple CarPlay?
  • @Roddy_Zeh
    The car looks good, but if I was in the market for a Bentley Conti GT, I'd rather go for a W12. ☕️🗿

    Nobody complained about the signature headlights, only the rear. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Bentley just can’t seem to get it right.

    My Dreamcast since I know what car are! Each one more beautiful than the previous. ❤

    "It makes the W12 Speed look like an asthmatic pipe smoker" How's that? W12 has 659 hp and 900 Nm torque. 0-62 is 3.6 sec and top speed 208 mph The new one (V8 Hybrid) has 771 hp (112 hp more) and 1000 Nm (100 Nm more). Only 0.3 sec faster and same top speed. Plus the new one is heavier (+186 kg). It's only more efficient and less good looking.
