A look at the approval process of each Bentley Mulsanne prior to sale. The detailed checklists which each Mulsanne must pass prior to departing the Crewe factory in England.
This series has been most informative and interesting. It's nice to see behind the scenes and the people that contribute to making one of the best luxury vehicles on earth. Really quite an amazing process. It's not all sideways action and loud screaming exhaust.
My heart jumped up in my throat at 03:30. That car is a thing of beauty. They all are really, but that particular deep black, with the blacked out windows, and chrome in all the right places... wow.
So basically they check it, check it again, check it a third, fourth, and fifth time, and then sell the car. I normally enjoy these Bentley videos but this one was boring as all get out.
This is INSIDE BENTLEY. This is nothing about being fun, interesting, boring or noisy. It's about how they make Bentleys. If you don't understand this, you are missing the point of those videos.
hey its boring process.. but im boring and i love processes so I enjoyed it very much, especially as its real people talking about it not some slick 100kpa smooth talking exec who spends less than 1% of his career on the factory floor. Also the slow pace of editing and hd finally came together and the cars looked great! Was a hard call for the interviewer as it was ultimately a simple but laborious subject, so he just let the lassie speak, nothing wrong with that.
This should be very informative about why quality cost. Some people always go on about why their car is better because it has the same performance as another car costing 2 or 3 times as much. Maybe they now know why. The answer is quality always cost extra.
This is stunning, the attention to detail at the end & good to see the beautiful final product. Would've been good to see it being delivered and received by a client.
fantastic to see the lengths at which they go to confirm in their quality control program! If only more auto manufacturers were this prudent, there would certainly be fewer dissatisfied customers
Many exotic car manufacturers are so stringent with their technology copyrights, that cameras (other than security needs) arent even allowed on the premise.
PLZ we need an another series of /INSIDE for an another luxury name in the car world .. I did enjoy this series & I look for more >>> to be honest it was better than some documentary car shows ;) thank u
My dad has always wanted a Bentley but cannot afford one.....It's my dream to make enough money to buy him a brand new Bentley every father deserves their dream car.
I completely agree with you, his hands in pants attitude is just so painfully uninteresting Would it shock you if I told you that HE is the creator of /DRIVE (JF Musial), because I just found that out How did he manage to do that??
***** JF may not be the best host that /Drive has, but he is the force behind the channel. Without JF, /Drive would fall flat. So you're right, maybe he isn't the best on camera, but he rules behind it. And as for "How did he manage to do that??", he was the producer of Fast Lane Daily for quite a few years.
So I have read on Wikipedia Not too sure as to that Drive would fail without him, someone else would probably fill the vacuum, but it doesn't matter I would just wish to see someone else do these kinds of videos
I actually enjoy this guy over the other Driver personnel. He listens instead of interrupting and trying to hard. I like watching these from an educational standpoint, I don't need infotainment like Top Gear viewers.
Too bad that most people who own these things couldn't give two shits about the painstaking amount of labor that went into the car, the only thing that matters is the prestige that comes with the pricetag.
Instead of criticizing the series, be sure to know that if: 1) your numbers come up on a lottery 2) you inheret vast sums if money (can you really appreciate quality without putting in the effort to pay for it?) 3) you build your business and reap the rewards 4) or become a home horticultualist ....you will know that YOUR Bentley will be amazing when it turns up. Boring? I say you are boring if you can't appreciate quality content.
"It takes longer to inspect the car than to build one." Seemed as though that was a question also it seemed as though the inspector dodged the question. I think they may be inspecting multiple cars at once to make up for the amount of cars they build in the course of an inspection.
1-2 weeks of QC, which is longer than the production process. Seems like the production process could use some improvement from a quality perspective, to reduce the incredibly costly continuous rework process.
Good Morning, I just fan face of the channel, which are worth watch videos that has subtitle, remember your viewers who do not speak English (ps: google tradutor )
/Drive: any idea how long this particular quality control process takes for the Continental line? I would assume less, but just curious if you found out. Thanks.
Once the car is signed off for final sell as they say they could just set the counter to 0 so it just marks driver miles. Or they could sell a 0 mile car with a few miles that correspond to the manufacturing process. Any "new" car can have a couple of dozen miles on it corresponding to the manufacturing and delivering process without impacting its value.
is it just me or does the mulsanne have a smiley face in the front? The grill is a big nose. The lights are the eyes and dimples. The bottom grill is the smile.
Do you really believe that an S class, or a 7-series, or an LS could take a week or two going back and forth in quality checks? All what I mentioned have the same or almost the same fit and finish.
LSG Drizzt If every F150 is driven on a specially designed course to pass quality control then I am sure it is going to be the same for the S class. Moreover, I don't want my new car to be driven for 40min!
When I look at cars like Bentley, I ask myself, "How many of these cars that are built get sold rather than being left as displays in dealership showrooms for months at a time?"
darek4488 The cars will need to be driven on to and off of transporters, sometimes at night, hence the door, parts of the windows and headlamps are left open.
proababy about $110,000-$150,000. the Hyundai eqquis and Kia K900 are $70,000+ and it's still no where near as nice as this. but still 110-150k is 1/3 of the cost. but then you'd have to go around saying you drive a Toyota, and that's something I would never do
Why does that matter? People build things they can't afford all over the world; houses, trains, planes, spacecraft, ships, skyscrapers, heavy machinery. Should Boeing and Airbus only employ billionaires on their shop floors? You don't get a job based on your ability to afford what you build, all that matters is whether you can do it.
Would have been great if she just lost her S and started screaming to shut those damn bloody horns up at the end... oh well. Maybe in the blooper reel.
So basically you could say their medieval production prevents them from reaching the quality the very same production is supposed achieve! If I bought a Bentley before seeing this I would feel cheated...
The Conti GT won't have anyway near as long being checked because the body panels are machine made. When you are hand crafting each piece, it takes longer to check and get absolutely perfect.

This segment is the most uninspiring thing /Drive has put out to date. I know it's free programming and that you've got to pay the bills, but this advertising packaged as a 'how-its-made' piece, with the awful intro, doesn't do the rest of the channel justice.
omfgwtfbbq90 It is better because it's MY opinion. Christian von Koenigsegg was very giving and detailed in the processes, allowing greater detailed shots of the car and how/why they actually made it. The speed of the car has nothing to do with it. This is worse than "How It's Made"
these bentley vids just don't have the same charm or attraction that the Koenigsegg videos had. I suspect it's to do with the car, the quality is still great but the factory (namely the people in it) seem like they're there for a job, not a passion like Christian Von Koenigsegg
Koenigsegg has cutting edge internal combustion engineering, custom electronics, an ex fighter squadron base factory and test track and a hypercar that can take full input steering at full throttle. And the boss of the much smaller company to take Drive through the process. Yes, it was a better series but not because of Drive, because Koenigsegg is more interesting than a Bentley. A segg costs as much as how many Mulsannes? Driving a Mulsanne every day is probably more relaxing and versatile though. The Pagani series was also interesting. Building a hypercar like Pagani or Koenigsegg is a more intimate process. The videos reflect this. I still find the Bentley series interesting despite this. It's cool to see car manufacturing done right.
Great vid, horrible guy. Hands out of your pocket when talking to a lady, stop saying "got it" every 3 sec and "ok". How about asking some questions? I always enjoyed "behind the scenes" vids and this one is great!!! Tweak the guy a little bit and do more vids like this, please.
