Bentley GT Le Mans v Flying Spur Speed: DRAG RACE

It’s time for a Bentley vs Bentley showdown!
We’ve got our hands on the super-rare, limited edition Bentley Continental GT Speed Le Mans, and it’s going head-to-head against the Flying Spur Speed!
So how different are these two cars? Well starting with the Flying Spur, it’s powered by a 6-litre twin-turbo W12 engine that puts down 635hp and 900Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at 2,437kg. If you want to pick one up, it’ll cost around £245,000.
But that’s nothing compared to the Le Mans Edition, which costs £330,000! Under the bonnet you’ll find the same 6-litre twin-turbo W12, although power output has been increased to 659hp and 900Nm. It also has an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox, although there are a couple of unique features to be found on the inside.
The car has been built to celebrate 100 years of the Le Mans 24 Hour race, so it includes some plaques to celebrate Bentley’s six wins, as well as an engine valve from the 2003 winning car! It’s also limited to just 48 units.
The question is, does it really warrant the £330k price tag?! And will it beat the Flying Spur Speed over the quarter-mile? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Honestly, 11.5 in the 1/4 mile was actually quite impressive for how heavy these cars are.

[@gordonnorris4202]

Tesla Model S is more or less the same weight and it is 2 sec faster (for a 1/4 mile it is a huge difference). Also Porsche 911 Turbo S is at least 1 sec faster. So for a 300k+ super car it is really disappointing actually.

[@alexproctor524]

@@gordonnorris4202it’s a luxury car brand, Tesla has instant torque from its battery power lol and bro Porsche is an actual RACE car brand. You gotta compare Bentleys to rolls Royce or other luxury brands

[@SacrificeBreedsSuccess]

@@gordonnorris4202Yes Tesla is also better than Rolls Royce since it’s faster and costs less. Luxury, build quality and reliability don’t matter as long as you are faster, fantastic logic

Important Matt got new teeth like a rabbit!😂😂

[@-v33333]

@@gordonnorris4202 jeez man thats just some huge buffoonery, model S has instant torque and almost 400hp more, of couse its gonna beat it. Porsche is around 600kg lighter, and is meant to be fast, while Bentley is a luxury GT car mostly, which means to be driven fast but comfortably at high speeds(which Bentley can do pretty good). 300k+ price is because of the limited edition, Continental speed prices start from 210k, I bet you dont complain about the new Porsche s/t having a 300k+ pricetag.

[@moisenkusu5894]

7 years watching this channel and I love it. The way YANNY reacted when he came out of the car to check the valves 😅😅😅😂😂😂

[@purwantiallan5089]

I also always love it.

[@hillbillyflipper3843]

I like the way Yanny doesn't take any junk from Matt! I do so enjoy Carwow videos! Even is Matt always is driving the fastest car. That surely makes him the drag queen. Lolol

[@miketurin5233]

'It's got a valve ' 😂. Love the chemistry between you and Yianni. At least the weather's nice...

[@Sparky_D]

I wonder if Matt will ever let someone else drive the higher spec'd car.... 😂

[@IAG369]

By someone you mean yanni 😂😂😂

[@Mr1T2X1]

He could add a coin toss to the review so that Yanni would have a chance to win 😂😂

[@johnm3907]

​@Mr1T2X1 yeah I agree. Matt gets quickest car 8 out of 10 times. The race driver guy always stuck with the slowest or a manual. Sometimes both.

[@unclemuta]

He’s the main character it only makes sense he gets the high spec’d ones mostly😂😂😂but yeah he’s doing it a little too much

[@marty1035]

He's changed a lot over the years. Far more self entitled attitude nowadays. Sad.

[@nnamdianyanwu4600]

Did anyone notice that the difference in horsepower between the two is 24. Which can’t be a coincidence since the GT is made in honor of their 24hr le man victories. That’s a nice touch

[@WernerKlorand]

Don`t tell Bentley, or that is gonna be another 24k.

[@mike_oe]

24 hp isn't even 4%, it's probably within production tolerances. I wonder how big the real difference is.

[@damonm3]

240 would have been better haha

@AmzP88, seems like Bentley GT LM has a new challenger now. Wish if it was RUF BTR2 challenging it.

[@lbnewell23]

A specced up GT speed has got to be about 250,000 to a max of 280,000 probably considering base price is 230,000 so when you think you get the limited edition stuff which makes it look cool but mainly the exclusivity of there only being 48 an extra 50-80,000 isn’t too insane compared to many limited edition cars
