Fifth Gear's Bentley Continental GT Drive Test | Fifth Gear Classic

[@rolexflex]

Stıll looks fresh. One of the best cars of modern era

[@rolexflex]

Henry Discipline you probably drive a rolls, if this looks like a brick to you

[@secondlooksformen3836]

It is gorgeous. Muscular. Every angle appeals to me. I would love to own one. I believe I will one day. Not concerned about maintaining it. A suspension that allows a car of that weight to handle as it does should be expected to be expensive to repair. You get what you pay for. If low cost maintenance is a priority, then this masterpiece is the wrong choice. If performance, style, elegance and design are important then I think a pre-owned Continental GT cannot be beat for the price. Fantastic value. "Bang for the Buck" seems appropriate.

All the way back in 1990 Vauxhall made the Lotus Carlton. A normal saloon car that could comfortably seat 5 people and hit a top speed of 177mph! It could also hit 60mph in just under 5 seconds, 100mph in 11.5 sec, the quarter mile in 13.5 sec, and comfortably cruise at crazy speeds due to a super long 6th gear (making autobahn blasts comfortable) Shows just how insane the Lotus Carlton must have been at launch, true supercar performance (acceleration and top speed!) in a saloon form. Sorry for the fanboy comment, but that car STILL blows me away even after 30 years!

[@graemejones9707]

Pity about the way it looked though!

[@davekennedy6315]

@@graemejones9707 they looked incredible back in the 90s. To my eyes even today it looks proper menacing, like a bodybuilding powerlifter in a good quality but tight Saville Row suit! Even that mad colour that looks black in most pics yet is a very, very deep green. Just an all-round brutal beast of a motor and, for a long time, the fastest saloon car in the world. A saloon that did at least 177mph (there was supposedly a limiter that was turned off by hitting the rev limiter in 5th gear that would then continue to 180-190mph!) yet also had room for a total of 5 adults to travel in comfort at that insane for the 90s top end! I have always been a fan and having seen a few in real life they look considerably better IRL.

[@Maddog494]

Does the Lotus Carlton make me feel like I want to blow myself?

[@DonLee1980]

going 190+ mph around a bendy track in the wet... gosh Tiff's balls are legendary.

[@danthompson1955]

190mph in the rain with no safety gear or crash helmet Only Tiff lol

[@JayretroXP]

One of the most beautiful luxury cars you will ever see .

[@marksbikeexports5123]

Bland jelly mould with Liberace on lighting detail.

[@iLoveBoysandBerries]

The absolute best car ever made

[@lifeinsidekyoto6553]

Tom Ford was 27 here. It’s amazing though that he’s always looked like a 50 something band roadie for an 80’s cover band. Still like the guy though, just saying.

[@kellingtonlink956]

A brilliant review. Well thought out. Thanks for the video.

[@onkemabude4818]

I just love this art piece right here.

[@matthewcoupeofficial]

I’ve seen 4 adults in great comfort in the GT, they were messing about.

[@iknooo7454]

bloody liar

[@timbotha4422]

where have you seen 4 dwarfs in a bentley?

[@nasen2727]

I think it's a joke or he means the GT flying spur from the same era. Or indeed he is a bloody liar.

[@tgwcl6194]

Absolutely fantastic GT. No not for everyone, because we are all different. With different needs. Thank you.

[@TomBartram-b1c]

That Tiff lad. Wow, what a driver.

[@CarsofGlasgow]

Love that classic Conti, weirdly my most recent upload was a video on the Continental Gt too

[@matthewcoupeofficial]

The 2007 onwards GT Speed is the ultimate version.

[@CarsofGlasgow]

I do like the Speed wheels

[@vladx2]

The Speed side grills on the fascia are a bit odd, but pretty good version indeed

[@ys_a1659]

A real luxury car. I would choose the Bentley Coupe over a Mercedes S-Class Coupe any time because at Bentley you can customize almost everything in the interior.

[@DLN-ix6vf]

It's a sport coupe sedan guys ; get with the program !

[@AndyMillerPhotoUK]

What about the new GT and Bentayga for 2019/20 -- and while the W12 is my favourite, what about the hybrid versions as well.

[@Silver_o]

Is it me or is that steering wheel a slightly modified version of what's in the Phaeton and the first gen Touareg?

[@MiguelLopez-fh7vx]

Hussein Omobola probably, remember Bentley is part of the Volkswagen group so maybe did si to cut costs

[@MrPeach18]

phaeton has same engine at half the price

[@palmz4u]

chris davies They share components but they’re not exactly the same.

[@DaveSurreyUK]

Is this a 2003 model as that's listed as the broadcast date? It still looks great!

[@timbotha4422]

thats because the design barely changed over the years, though the new facelift model is gorgeous.

[@palmz4u]

2004 model

[@malnasr]

where Vickie at? !

[@klowenstein483]

That was nice! Needles is fkn crazy

[@garysimpson3900]

Don't worry Tiff, the target market of Premiership Footballers & their WAG's aren't interested in "Handling".

[@nervo6321]

Great driving in wet conditions

[@Paravantos]

Audi A8 with VW Jetta /golf electrical wiring .

[@Paravantos]

Hahaha . My 2002 Camry had 3 garage door openers in the mirror.

[@eaglefit8239]

Hard to believe I'd be looking elsewhere ...

[@gwynmaverickjames6098]

It’s ok doing a test and taking it to the max,but normally you wouldn’t drive like that,we’ll you can’t on English roads ,but it’s a lovely looking car,beautiful really,would I buy one you’re dam right I would ,if I could afford one that is 👍😀

[@gmubl]

Nice!

[@peem1244]

Older model no doubt, but still stunning as ever. So did it have the V8 i wonder? As usual Tiff has missed the point...it's a GT tiff, or maybe you haven't learned to read yet. As you're a 4 year old pillock, i'll forgive you just this once! So who wants to tour at 190MPH? Nobody? thought so! Don't like the new taillights, still a beautiful car...i'll have the V8 in marrachino cherry, please.

[@palmz4u]

Pedro ElGordo There was no V8 model in 2004. Only the W12.

[@pills5721]

Big bang

[@4wheelsonmywagon733]

That tie......what was he thinking?

[@Maulinator69]

At 3:50 isn't that where Bond almost ran over Vesper Lynd before flipping and crashing the Aston Martin in Casino Royale??

[@sir_ma-at_mons]

That’s interesting because originally in the Novel Casino Royale Bond Drove a Bentley in that Scene.

[@marksbikeexports5123]

......this is the one with the VW motor in it. Oh my, how very bespoke.

[@gaivoron]

Okay I get it..... it's a throw back but what the fuck with that t shirt and a tie? When was that a thing?

I loved this model and dreamt about owning one until I drove it. It was very average I wasn't impressed.

TraviTrail Mine’s been one of the most reliable cars I’ve ever owned and I’ve owned dozens of cars. The reliability issues are a myth.

[@timdaniel5395]

This old test of a beautiful car ragged around a test track reminded me why I haven't bothered with Fifth Gear for years … it bears no relation to anything useful I might need to know about the car unless, maybe, I wanted to race it or just show off what a good driver I am on a track! … silly!

[@seymourskinner2533]

If you don’t understand how are car performing on the track might relate to its on road performance you really don’t deserve to watch any good car programmes.

[@timdaniel5395]

@@seymourskinner2533 ... Just seen your pompous reply ... I thought I'd let you know I've spent a lifetime racing cars so I know exactly how things relate but I prefer my tv programmes something other than children's hour.

[@seymourskinner2533]

@@timdaniel5395 lolz. Maybe while searching the net for t boosters you can also look up pompous. Since you clearly don’t know what it means.😉. You may or may not have raced, people say all sorts of stuff here, but you definitely just contradicted yourself. So maybe have a quick chat with yourself and decide whether tracking a road car is useful or not. Then come back.😂
