This video's visuals are unreal. Props to the camera crew and behind the scenes. Just...wow.

Almost as much a tourism advertisement as a car review. Damn, I love living in Switzerland. The road in the video is the "Sustenpass" for those interested.

I am glad they kept the interior. These touch screens are annoying

[shallyshalm]

8:08 that waterfall above is the best thing in this video

[cdclydesdale]

I love cars but damn the scenery in this video … as beautiful as the Continental GTC!

[toushi]

this is by far the best AutoTrader video you guys made the videography and editing are absolutely amazing i would go to say that this is better than the roma video

Driving with the roof down, short sleeve shirt with snow and mountains in the background is epic.

[joeykitty]

This has to be the most 'perfect' car review; to date! Color; scenery; road, perfect!

[jacobchaves]

Lost me at v8 hybrid db12 is definitely the best Gt drop top in the game right now

[brq]

I’m not a big fan of the headlights but the design overall is actually pretty nice

[Josanelinda]

Mat Watson and team take note: this is how you film a car review!

[jovicaantunovic]

Is it AI generated surrounding? Rory king of reviews, and the Bentley absolutely shines.

[loljk]

The interior remaining mostly unchanged is one of the best things about the new model.

[DIVEnSOME]

0:20 to 0:30, is the most gorgeous car shot I’ve ever seen, this video is a work of art .

[Stan-ut]

Rory, you make it a pleasure to watch these auto videos. The quality is great and your enthusiasm and personality are infectious.

[siddharthsingh]

3:35, damnn 😂😂, sperm with it's tail chopped is something that I'll be remembering whenever I see this car in person or any other video

[nomadspotter]

Rory gives the details good and bad with no sugar coating at all! Keep up the good work and keep it coming. Most complete car reviewer on the net today.

[CaptainOinkOink]

I think this looks more like a facelift rather than a fourth generation

[johnsim]

I'm more impressed with Rory having the roof down when there's snow on the mountains! As for the car, I'd have this over the DB11 MkII or DB11 Vanquish from Aston Martin easily. Against the Roma? That's a harder ask.

The Continental Speed is way more expensive than a DB12… not really comparing apples with apples here…. Maybe compare the “Standard” Continental against DB12
