These videos deserve more views. Some of the best car reviews on UA-cam
I never wanted a Bentley until I saw this video. I could never muster a passion for Bentley until Mean Gene pointing out the outstanding quality of components under the car.
Funny, Mean Gene had the same effect on me . . . :)
Bentley takes the cake over a Rolls for me. Glad you've seen what you've needed.
The Mulsanne is stunning
I’m 32 and have a lot of “Dream cars” 2017 AUDI S8 plus, Alpina B7 2013, 2013 VIPER GTS, 2015 RAPIDE S, Murcielago 2009, BMW 1M, 2011 SLS AMG, CARRERA GT. And as of now, I can’t even afford the S8 yet, but maybe that will be the step to go to this masterpiece called Mulsanne. I need to own one of this to keep it as my company for the rest of my years to live. Thanks for this informative and entertaining video.
I’ve own 3 different A8l’s and other vehicles but that mulsanne is the one I need to marry lol. My friends think I have a weird taste for vehicles, I just like unique and different stuff.
and i'm Prince Charles😎👍
General Motors built, and put the first PRODUCTION V8 in a Cadillac in 1914.
I'm watching this in January 2021 the Mullsaun production ceased in 2020 sad to see this beautiful car go but then I found out this is the one model that is that does not share any parts with Volkswagen need I say more
I want to see more MotoMan videos like this. Great work!
不愧是高級車! 在外表長又寬減簡單單 的零件是車迷喜歡的重要素材!! 精緻的內裝凸顯出d掉的舒服+享受!!!
One of my favourites of all your films
I have one of these and I have two rolls royces. However I am always finding myself behind the wheel of ths car.... it is incredibly built and surprisingly fun to drive!
Are you kidding me? When I was a young lad I use to dream that 1 day I would own a Bentley and now I own several Bentley's and Rolls Royce Models. Model Cars that is haha
Don't give up. Don't give up. Don't give up gene 978
Love this Mulsanne Because the styling Harkins back to the Elegant graceful styling of the Vintage Bentley Turbo R which I love its like the Old meets the new Cant wait to get one lol
Thanks- You need the right guy to do a Bentley review... And you nailed it just right. There is just no substitute for class. Even the poor plebs from the working class (like me!) can appreciate serious class.
That's why I love bentley
Good to see that the driver looks as smart as the car. M.
One of the first production automobile V8s was introduced in the United States in 1914 by Cadillac, a division of General Motors which sold 13,000 of the 5.4 L (330 cu in) L-head engines in its first year of production.
Im a Mercedes guy but if I ever get some real money this is the car im getting to be driven in and yea yea I know its a drivers car but who said I had to drive it lol
look at Mean Gene ! The look in eyes says "I'm In Love hamanananana".
uh man, The Mulsanne is gorgeous, that Wood is to die for ! Especially the door panels with that light striping!
I love the Mulsanne's Dashboard, but I love the Arnage's even more ... I Prefer to have the A\C controls & Radio hidden (alongside the cup holders) ... More elegant.
was that the same engine BMW supplied for Rolls-Royce & Bentley back in the 90s ?
did you know that the Mulsanne's & Arnage's predecessor (Turbo RL) had the most powerful V8 at it time ?
AMG? C'mon M, The Mulsanne is whole different level.
is this a "Regular" Mulsanne ? Or a Mulliner ?
I think Rolls-Royce made the first V8 (6 cars or something like that), but Cadillac was the first one to mass produce it.
here's the question M, Phantom or a Mulsanne ?
as always M, great video, keep the the excellent work.
He cried like a baby when they came to collect it . . . He get's his mitts on the Vanquish tomorrow . ..
You need to bring this item back with the car in the garage.. savagegeese does it also.. very nice 👌🏼
A delightful car and a dogger's delight!
Beautiful cars, if you’re looking to get one , depreciation is your best friend , these cars price drops like a brick over time , I just bought my dream car 2015 Mercedes S550 with 80K miles , like new condition, for $29.000 , that car new was $120.000 … Rolls Royce, Jaguar, Maserati etc. are the same way , you can get $500.000 Rolls Royce Phantom used, for $70.000 , Bentley the same way , they’re all over the place , just be very careful to get a good one , because bad ones in need of repairs , will bankrupt you over night
Well done.
Undercoating is not what matters. You see rust where water and debris can accumulate; such as seams, joins between panels, drainage areas. Check out the rear quarters or Hondas, or the rockers of Chevy's and Fords. Plenty of undercoating on the outside.
Rolls-Royce built a V8 powered car in 1905, but V8's weren't mass produced until Cadillac offered one in late 1914.
You, sir, are CORRECT! Marmon was actually the first to develop a V8 engine but it was never installed in any of their vehicles. Rolls Royce designed, developed and installed a V8 in their 1905 car. If you are in LA, reach out via our Facebook page and we will give you a tour of the Petersen.
Unfortunately I won't be in LA anytime soon. I will be in Monterey for car week, maybe I'll run into you up there. I'm a big fan of all the Motoman content.
I'll take one if I can drink beer in the back while my wife drives me around.
This car has very little Audi components in it as it was built at the crew factory not in Germany like the continentals and suv
It is not fair to compare torque with Mercedes S63. It is a different category, and you must compare it to Mercedes S65, which has the same torgue as Mulsang and many more horse powers: 621hp, 738pft.
Good point. Mean Gene covers this in detail in our upcoming Aston Martin 'Flugplatz Blue' full episode. In the interim, you can see the car here in our first 'shake down' film: 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish -- First Shakedown in the Malibu Canyons
this car is a masterpiece.
I would go for Cadillac for the V8, but I may be wrong
Ah, "dash-board"...nice!
Great contrasting video. The Devil is in the details.......cheers....
Jesus Christ, that is a beautiful car! What is the exterior/interior color?
+Jalen CEO Companies like Bentley have a near infinite range of specification to customise from. But I think the exterior colour is Meteor in the 'Blue Palette' range. The interior could be anything!!! xD
oooh that's right I forgot, did you know that the first Patches of the Continental FlyingSpure were actually built in Germany?
In the part of the episode when I refer to parts of the Continental being built on a serial production line in Germany - those same bits apply to the Flying Spur . . .
First manufacturer to slap a V8 in a car. Rolls Royce? Where's ma cookie?
I've been thinking about a Bentley Continental. But I have a Porsche 718 Cayman S on order. How can I be thinking about two such different cars?
And the idiot management at Bentley discontinued this magnificent car, and the absolutely fantastic engine. They have surrendered the top spot of luxury cars to Rolls-Royce. Another bad move
結論{上千萬的極品美車} 是賓利 最適合的稱號!!!
quá hay ^^
thats a real review!
It's amazing how many people actually don't know the difference b/w quality and grade. Bentley is a no more quality vehicle than a Toyota Camry because both will get you from point A to B with no problem. The thing that distinguishes cars like Bentley is grade. Bentley is a higher grade, not quality vehicle.
these kinds of cars are dope, top level luxury blended with outstanding performance to create a marvellous long distance barnstorming gt saloon
This has a bit of old school British charm to it. Even though I love it I think I'd buy the S Class if I had the money.
This is worth 4 S-classs
I agree, the w140 is the s-class to have. The bently looks nice, but concerning long-term, the benz always wins...
leon levavasseur is the first one who made the first v8
OMG!!! I was really shocked, to see all of that corrosion/rust underneath, from Bentley! I mean, for that kind of money that these millionaires/billionaires; Spend on such a vehicle, One would not expect that. Smh!!!
Bentleys are meant to be driven everyday. Those that sit get all the problems. Those that run turn out to be quite reliable.
DMF Any car's underbody will be susceptible to that when driven in four season conditions and put away wet. Like rain and salted roads. One can only imagine where that one has been driven. I would doubt southern California or anyplace in the southwest… Given the means, I think I'd hire a couple guys, who's full-time job it was to thoroughly clean and dry my cars after every drive.
***** $60k down and $3,600/mo will get you into one of these on a 36 month lease.
***** Please explain to me how your wild and nonsensical claim has any relevance to my above statement, kiddo.
***** Won't explain, or can't? You're a video gamer who's probably never owned a car worth over $1,000. I'm a freelance artist/businessman well over 14, guaranteed, and you're high on drugs.
Smiley face front:)
First V 8 in production car? Cadillac in 1914 !
I think Cadillac was first to have a v8 in a production model
It has to be beautiful, look at the cost of the car...
the ford flathead was the first V8
Everything is like a piece of jewelry … wow, what a statement! For me the question is always, is it right to save the extra cost and buy a Bentley instead of a Rolls? You want the ideally rational car, buy the Hyundai Equus. But now let's say you have the money, would you decide for a Bentley and spend about 220.000 USD or spend 130.000 USD more for a RR Ghost?
The RR is a BM fake
My 2015 Audi A8 L has the same air suspension as this car, so i call bs on it not sharing parts with germany
HAHAHAHA set it to Bentley and the car immediately takes you to tiffany!!! Hilarious
how comes in my language it is grammatically incorrect to say "most special" ? it has no degree of comparison
cast iron brake rotor!? for the money they cost they could have used carbon ceramic
Talking about style and attention to detail but still unable to pronounce "aluminium" correctly.
'murca!
I buy and sell cars. I drove a 2014 Bentley Continetal GT Convertible with 6K miles on it, with all that wood finish and yadayadayada. Really top notch, but somewhat overpriced. I never liked English cars and still don't, but the Bentley CGTC is changing my opinion. They don't last much though, I've never seen on with more than 80K miles. Mulsanne would not be my choice.
I would say the ford v8
iPod inside of Bentley ruins the Bentley :)
The ford v8
still tehnology of 19th century with some tweaks from 20th century
Well, we didn't get into the whole computer control system of the suspension . . .
MotoManTV It's for sure a very very outstanding car. But it's just an ICE. The future Luxury is electric. Nothing less. So, it's last century's Luxury.
manoman0 No thanks, most car enthusiasts say no.
***** Yes, I fully agree. The new luxury will be EV. As a great lover of V8 engines it's easy to accept EV as the successor of V8 (or V12 for that matter). So, you love muscle cars, you love E-power. Simple, actually. Alot of people can't wrap their heads around that statement though.
*****
you think electricity and electric cars are 'green' and not poisoning the Earth? Where does the electricity come from to power the factories that make these cars... coal or nuclear power stations. How do you think batteries are made? All the metals are strip-mined in poor countries then transported across the globe by diesel train and gas turbine ships.
Mmm I'm gonna guess Ford because they invested the V8
VERY good guess . . . but Ford came after Cadillac . . . which was technically third but was the company that really put the V8 on the map for a *production* car.
Wrong it's Rolls Royce
A320Pilots You are indeed correct . . . Rolls was the first to design, build and install a V8 into a production car. Technically, Marmon was the first to construct a V8 but it never made it to production.
Lol
Ford
It was Ford
old timer magnet and nothing more.
And now it's gone.
ford .🙄
Why do the Yanks always call the sump an oil pan
Why do people still drive these cars .. the only time I see them or for wedding and proms ..... dont get me wrong yes nicely built car but whats the point ?? Most people dont like them and they are huge on the outside but so so room on the inside .... noy worth the huge price tag
The most expense VW ever!
+Adrian Larkins No, that would be the Bugatti Veyron.
+Rogue Qall Is Bugatti part of VW? That I didn't know. What an utter cock up!!
Adrian Larkins Yup! xD
vw only for you - working class -))
The Mulsanne isn't a VW. It was designed and built by Bentley.
The Continental GT is a repackaged Volkswagen Phaeton but this car is unique.
Mercedes Maybach is still better though
Ha
I'm not impressed
Ugly and irrelevant .... overpriced too.
You are maximum ugly
Ugly LOL if this drove past you you'd think damn who's driving that!?
Edwin M
"Ugly LOL if this drove past you you'd think damn who's driving that!?"
I might want to see who the idiot is ... But that's only a "might." I normally don't care about idiots who can not appreciate quality cars and drive cars like this only because they have money to waste.
+Fussinated Well, then what particular brand of car and model would you consider to be a quality car ? Please share. Just curious.
BeverageGuzzler "Well, then what particular brand of car and model would you consider to be a quality car ? Please share. Just curious."
Why, of course, LEXUS. Best reliability on the planet that reflects the superior built quality.
Tell me though, what do you understand from the concept of quality, plush and expensive material?
those wheels were ugly.
