One of the older models pulled out on a friend and I when we were riding litre bikes down a bumpy B road. We were about to overtake, but it just powered away and glided over the bumps as if they weren’t there. We couldn’t get close. I’d have hated overtaking it to have it chasing behind us. Proper missile.

Also the new one is on the MSB platform shared only with the Porsche Panamera, has the PDK and PDCC (arguably the best commercial gearbox and best anti-roll tech). So yes this is basically a Porsche underneath, which is an extremely good thing, because you can add hundreds of kilos of luxury on top of a great platform and still go round a corner more like a car than a boat

I was surprised to see that you were less than infatuated with the "Speed". I have to agree, the example I drove had the V8.. It had a great snarl and was more than enough for my needs.

The V8 with a hybrid assist would suit this car really well; the extra weight is effectively irrelevant since you're already starting at 5000lb anyway. That's probably for the next generation though; a hybrid V8 could quite easily outperform the W12 which is why you won't see them on sale next to each other.

Nice review, nice car but tbh i can't see the point of a car like this. It's not sporty in the sense of dynamics, yet it's very fast. But the only place where you can use it is Germany and only when it's not busy on the autobahn (which is hardly ever these days). What remains is stupendous luxury and the exclusivity. But i wouldn't buy one even if i could. Why advertise that you are filthy rich? There are other cars that are very luxurious but will allow you to travel under the radar. You can't do that in a purple Bentley.

A couple of hours before watching this video I watched a Jay Leno video all about British cars. In that video Jay drives an Aston Martin that is a rather striking orange colour. I think burnt orange would describe it or deep orange. Anyway seeing this car with its rather vibrant colour made me think that these very expensive cars are trying to justify the price tags with extreme colours not found on cars with lower prices. One more thing to make them stand out I suppose. I have to say when I was a boy my grandfather would have taken one look at this car and said “oi must be a puff driving that” lol He wasn’t what you would describe as PC lol

If the DCT's revised for the new W12, the W12 is the much better option. Not much difference between front and rear weight balance (55:45 regardless, at least according to Bentley's own words) and to have 12 cylinders is always better than an 8 despite it being an inferior W configuration.

Depends on what type of driving you're doing I guess; I would get the Ferrari GTC 4 because it offers a more dynamic driving experience. However, the Bentley GT definitely beats everything when it comes to "waftability" and comfort. Just a great GT car. I would personally choose the V8 version because of the price jump to the W12, which is crazy!!.. I think your current car (SL65 AMG) offers a driving experience similar to the Bentley's, so choosing the Ferrari makes more sense, just to go for something different.

Wonderful car. I probably wouldn't bother with the Speed version as the standard GT is more than adequate in all areas. The Conti has turned into a fantastic car and, for those not bothered by Top Trump style bragging rights, I feel it is quite possibly the best all rounder money can buy while not necessarily being "the best" in any individual metric.That said, tragically, I will never get to find out first hand.

A better car is the GTV8, if you get someone that knows what they are doing to remap it. Lighter, not by much but it's all from the front so better weight distribution, more powerful, faster and better fuel consumption/range. The noise through a factory sports exhaust is also epic.

There is obviously a strong appetite for these type of cars, it’s a shame Aston don’t seem to be able to capitalise on the demand. Perhaps if they get their production problems sorted…

The Bentley GT with the V8 differently handles better, but that W12. The reason for the excellent ride is the anti-roll bars decouple when you're driving straight ahead when you enter a turn, the bars couple, and the 48-volt system kicks in and keeps the car flat in a turn.

And they make all the difference. I’ve been in a new Conti vs an old - night & day difference on the same road. The old speed was a bit of a barge in the bends in comparison to the new which was like on was on rails (and that was a non speed model)

A truly great car: a proper all-rounder (that's spelled 'GT' to folk like me), with very few peers. It really is a car for continental-sized journeys. Thanks for showing it, Harry.

Thank you Harry for making this. My favourite car by a fair margin, especially considering the sour legacy of Phaeton-based ones it descends from. I'm rather obsessed with it actually. - Love the colour, just a shame about the blackline. I think it's rather tacky. Without blackline you can also pay to have all the front grilles chromed, as far as I know they're still plastic, but they have a metal appearance, which still isn't great but I think it's the best option. - Another thing is that that all the carbon bits are from the (£7k I think?) styling specification, they're a cost option on all models. Without it I don't think the car has any visible carbon. I'd completely avoid it and if I had to have it I'm not sure I would want the car. Very chavvy in my personal opinion. - I reckon the light mechanism is from Porsche, considering they have harmless condensation problems as well, and of course the car's Panamera underpinnings - Personally the Speed's worth it. Don't get me wrong, it's still extortionate, but it's a Bentley. I love the Speed interior and at the size of the car rear axle steering is a must in 2022. One more thing- could we see a review of a G class at some point? I think as a Range Rover enthusiast it would be very interesting to see your perspective on it.

I bought a 1973 Triumph GT6 Mk3 in Magenta and I loved the colour, though not a lot of people did in the 70's, but seeing this colour on this Bentley in a metallic finish it looks fabulous. As for the car, personally I'd prefer your Project 8 any day.

I really like the Continental GT, but I've never been convinced that the W12 Speed is the version to get if you want the best possible Conti GT experience. By my estimation, the V8 is the one to get. Lighter on the nose, still plenty of power, and not pretending to be sporty.

I've talked to a lot of people who have multiple of these GT cars with V8s and W12s. They all prefer the W12. They always say that there's just nothing like the feeling of a 12 cylinder engine beneath your foot.

@@eats4cheaps305 Interesting perspective. If it was a V12, I might feel similarly. But the Bentley W12 in particular is not known for having charisma. Still, a lovely car in either form.
