2021 Bentley GT Speed! 0-60 in WHAT?! Fastest Continental Ever!

0-60 in WHAT?! Behold the Speed. Simple naming conventions for derivatives, sometimes work the best, as this is #Bentley’s most dynamic and fast road car in their 101 year history!
As the car is not yet homologated for UK roads, bizarrely we are testing the car on track on the full Silverstone GP circuit.
The Speed was originally introduced with the first generation Continental GT Speed in 2007 - inspired by the Continental R models of the 1920s. It chopped weight off the standard car and added more power, to the tune of 35kg and 42bhp along with another 100nm of torque. This set the trend for further iterations of the Speed to come.
Gen two saw 616bhp and 800nm from its 6.0-litre W12, or 626 in the facelift. It had a lower ride height with an uprated chassis and suspension package, and hit a mad too speed of 206mph!!
But Gen 3 is where the big changes have happened under the skin, thanks to the new Platform underpinning the Conti, partly developed by Bentley this time. The standard car itself, quicker than any Speed before it!
This new Speed has Electronic All-Wheel Steering up to 4.1 degrees, and the front steering also adjusted to match this. This will help with low speed sharp turns and stability at high speeds.
There same rear package houses the Electronic rear diff or ELSD. With this we get more grip in Comfort and Bentley modes, and better turn in and straight line grip in sport.
Making Sport mode different had been a key goal: so the Active All-Wheel drive, the traction control and torque distribution has been recalibrated to give a character shift.
And finally an optional newly-engineered Carbon Ceramic brake system, 440mm 10 piston front 4 piston rear, they give a 33kg weight saving.
Overall, we have Performance of 650BHP, 900nm, and a claimed 3.5secs (spoiler, it’s faster). And a crazy top speed of 208MPH!
The design changes both inside and out are harder to find, in typical Speed fashion, but I will go through it all anyway. The question today is, how much can we gauge about Bentley’s most potent #Continental GT #Supercar, at a strange place for a Grand Tourer. Today we explore:
- History of the Continental GT Speed
- 2008 Continental Speed
- 2013 Continental Speed
- 2021 Continental Speed
- Exterior design
- Standard GT vs Speed
- Mechanical Changes
- Rear wheel steering
- E LSD “E Diff”
- Changes to driving modes
- Interior details
- 2021 Continental GT Speed Convertible
- GT Continental Akrapovic Exhaust
- Track drive at Silverstone GP circuit

You’re videos & special effects are amazing. You go very in depth with all the car manufacturers I freaking love! I am sincerely shocked that this channel doesn’t have a million subs already

The Bentley Continental has been my favorite “out of reach” car for a long time. It’s only getting better. Great review, thanks for all the shots of the car.

[@themessage8490]

Get an old one bro 2006 it looks amazing and drives just as fast. Buy this crypto alchemy pay at 1 cent and sell whenever you want that should help you make more money to afford it and the labor. Labor is nasty but if you just make more money ur fine

Dear Raz’ … I totally “love” the new Continental GT Speed, it’s incredible! I’m looking at purchasing the GTC Speed “Convertible” but I’m waiting to see your review and thoughts! I know you loved the 992 Turbo S Cab so much and I’m really keen to see your review on the Speed GTC in comparison … Keep up the great work, your reviews are always “the best” and the only ones I value and trust! Always 5 Stars from me!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👏

[@carmcarm8230]

How’s the ride quality compare with the standard Continental GT?

[@marcnobel3938]

Great Car! Great Video! Just sad that the SuperSports model is always at the end of the lifecycle. Would be better if they would offer the different Speed Models together. Similar to a Turbo and Turbo S.

BENTLEY PRESS: Hey boi fancy driving the new continental? Okay we'll drop it off tomorrow.... along with the rear axle...

[@choshun8]

Speed must have changed quite a lot from first iteration. The first one was basically a normal conti with more power. It was just as wallowy and had a ponderous gear change. When the supersports came out, it was such a massive difference. Much stiffer/better suspension and gearbox was on a different level. Obviously still nothing compared to a proper sports car but a massive difference between the speed and supersports. Looks like this one is closer in terms of performance to the supersports

I've just got a new M2 competition. I was so worried about opf but it actually sounds really good still. So if your worried about ppf then don't be

[@omgLaven]

is that in red candy finish?

[@hockeymann88]

They lost me at 22 inch wheels. It's called Speed but they prioritize bling over performance. Even if it seems to ride fine we all know wheels that size are a design vs performance compromise. There is a reason you wont see wheels anywhere near that size around vehicles designed to win races. I'm not asking for a Formula 1 set up but wagon wheels are a stupid design indulgence. Where will it end? 28 inch rims with rubber painted around the outside?

[@vernervanschalkwyk2280]

You look like a pure racer with the helmet on🤐. Can i ask you which Continental you would buy? The V8, W12 or the Speed?
