Bentley Continental GT Speed review - is 206mph really necessary?

[@campanmarius5241]

+Ghost919 I know...he acted like he was flooring a Tesla P85D.

[@nikb6528]

almost passed out while slamming into the seat with his head... but it probably does accelerate like crazy if he downshifted a couple of gears.

[@derbigpr500]

+kerk tp Tesla fanboy.... it accelerates slower than this Bentley once you go above 60 mph. In fact, above that it accelerates like a 2.0 diesel BMW.

[@campanmarius5241]

derbigpr500 I know that, you smartass. I wanted to show the magnitude of the journalist's exaggeration regarding Bentley's acceleration. It wasn't driving at 60 mph in that moment, it was 30 mph at best at which speed the Tesla has infinetly more oomph than the Bentley.

[@nikb6528]

kerk tp probably true, but there still is no comparison between that ugly silent thing and this magnificence.

[@Marks_Piano]

Good work on the 'speed' side of things, but why is there such a low quality screen in a 200.000 pound car? bit disappointing.. I also think the steering wheel needs an update,, it's been the same since 2003..

[@xBuzz996]

Those alloy wheel design remind me of the RS7 wheels. And that B air vent looks more like it is taken from the stingray. Just me or? Btw, 0-100 kph 4 seconds flat is amazing for the weight of this car, well done Bentley

[@MrJedv]

Is this the 2015 or 2016 continental???

[@RizwanY37]

What area is that and name of that road?

[@siri9452]

lol, what a stupid question, "is 206mph necessary?" Is 100 mph necessary? No.. Is 60 mph necessary? No... so why does 206mph change the answer?

[@tekkai235]

People need to understand that Bentley and RR keep the old school interior as much as possible for a reason. Their branch company has the ability and know-how to design great infotainment systems.

[@mazin2892]

where was this filmed?

[@knightrider1545]

Will I get 300 hp if i put regular unleaded fuel in it?

[@Gohot229]

The side vent's a 'B'...or didn't you notice ?

[@iurilx4757]

why buy the w12 speed wen you can buy the v8s ? i really think the v8s is bethe you save money , have a nice sound and have everthing you need and is pretty fast too , you dont really need 630 hp and 820 Mn

[@J0lker]

+Iuri Sena I think it's the same question why would you take A8 W12 vs S8. It's the matter of being more of a limousine... Power/torque delivery etc. W12 is smoother.

[@iurilx4757]

+J0lker i know , but the v8 is smoother too . i dont understend why you want a sport limosine , limousine is limousine sport car is sport car

[@J0lker]

Iuri Sena Well, I would like to get best of both worlds. :D

[@iurilx4757]

+J0lker yeah but you think that you really can ? you dont think you sacrifris confort? because of the sport suspencion is awakard a limousine have a sport suspencion

[@J0lker]

Iuri Sena You're right! But comfort for me is not the same as comfort for someone older. For me most of the cars are comfortable- some more and some less of course. Regular A6 with that air suspension is enough ; ) I suppose S8 is cool with me as well haha What about you?

[@24bellers20]

Owned a 2008 one. Swapped it for mazzer gran tourismo . I need another Bentley.😳

[@GranDaddo]

What kind of battery charger costs 2,125 pounds? (2:22)

With every revision they mess up the exterior of this car a bit more.

[@TheFunkyair]

sounds inside so quite :)

[@RadoDani]

I'm looking at the list of options and it is all unnecessary items except for the adaptive cruise control and Naim audio system.

[@Laskie0711]

Bentley GT Speed vs Aston Martin Vanquish vs Mercedes Benz S65 AMG Coupe vs Ferrari F12... which is the Ultimate GT?

[@Peizxcv]

Is this really better than the S-Class Coupe? That thing is packed with technology and the best Mercedes can offer.

[@bensalvidge3400]

Peizxcv Performance against the S class, its better. Looks wise against the S class, it's better. Luxury wise inside, S class is better.

[@adam-nq3qv]

S class is for bankers who want to be driven to work, beautiful car, and probably better for price, but doesn’t compete with the Bentley when it comes to driving expirience and emotion

[@wholeNwon]

I like to put my elbow on the window ledge, too. Yours looks very uncomfortable at that sharp angle. VW seems to have styled the car at the expense of the driver's comfort, at least in that regard.

[@marc1093280]

The Bentley CGT has always been my dream car, but the S-class coupe is easier to live with because of the bigger Benz dealer and service network.

[@KingAlphaOmega]

[@Birmingham_racing]

I would go for the v8 simply because it sounds alot better and still has plenty of performance

[@MICHGO1]

STUNNING CAR. SWITCH OUT THE BLACK INTERIOR TO SOMETHING BRIGHTER AND IT'S NEARLY PERFECT.

[@DreamCarGarage1]

Wow! No Way! Directional design alloy wheels! Really? Dudes this car design is ancient! Design a new car already! That said, I'd still have one. ;-)

[@Nemoticon]

+/Dream Car Garage 1 (DCG1) The replacement is due to come out soon, maybe next year or so. Design tweaks are to sell the last cars before production finish. Imo, those 'directional alloys are terrible. Their standard sets are much nicer.

[@russellacton]

+Rogue Qall ...they make them to order with very few 'stock' items for the dealers....from what I hear, the next major upgrade is a few years away. New SUV tech and elements will start to bleed into the GT from 2016. Just my guess though

[@Nemoticon]

Russell Acton They don't really make them to order, they're still on a production line and the Continental GT is the most numerous Bentley ever made. You can customise them while still on the production line, but they still turn them out at a fixed rate annually. Although 'hand made' they are officially recognised as mass produced cars, the first Bentley ever to be so. They're produced in Crewe, not too far away from me and there are literally hundreds sitting around there ready to be shipped off.

[@knightrider1545]

its time for larger turbos to get 750 hp or add another turbo to get 750 hp.

[@ThisIsMTH]

No Mat, 45m squared is 2025 square metres! Think you meant 45 square metres ;) sorry for being pedantic, great video as always.

[@Autoexpress]

+Matthew Hall You are forgiven. But Mat isn't- he will now have to drive cars costing less than £150,000 for a week as punishment.

[@lauretragi4384]

+Matthew Hall 45 metres squared is just another way of saying 45 square metres. Both equate to 45m^2

[@ThisIsMTH]

It is most certainly not the same.

Those directional alloy wheels cost £2,150 :)

[@robengland5564]

of coarse it is

One of my favorite

[@brzutt]

its nice but i think you got to be mad to get this ove the S class , or even much cheaper bmw M4 or Lexus RCF

[@MattUK36]

You meant 45 square meters, obviously you wouldn't say 450 feet square, would you Matt? And finally, the best isn't always the most expensive, for my the best Continental GT is the V8S. Cheers.

That 'speed' badging really cheapens it... like an 18yr old stuck those badges on.

[@g00dfeeling]

Looks like a sponsored. Reasons for buying are really pale and they describe peasants behind the wheel.

[@Karlsson600]

+g00dfeeling absolutely. They're just pushing on prestige, 'if you can afford Bentley', 'it you can afford best, why just don't buy the best', reference to 'club guest list' is made for certain category of people, it's totally sponsored. Bentley loves spending money on sponsored videos, it's like Apple who love putting their apple in every movie. On XCAR i saw a review and in the end he said "it's the new Bentley, what do you think, of course it'll be brilliant". So their only reason is, and they keep saying it - "it's Bentley", "it's Bentley", "it's Bentley". Brainwashing.

[@PhonoDuck]

206,000 pounds and max speed of 206 mph. 1,000 pounds per mph? ouch

Costs more than most people homes.... how can you waft along without a care in the world? Unless you are some Saudi Baron and don't care 'cause you got a screw missing.

What's with the infotainment? It looks like it's taken straight out of a Volkswagen (that's actually what happened in the Flying Spur), that's not what you expect and deserve for this kind of money, Bentley are really don't take it seriously, but they should, cause that's just not ok, that's spitting in the face of your wealthy client!
