The Best Grand Tourer? - Bentley Continental GT V8!

If you enjoy the video then please help us and hit that like button!
The term 'Grand Tourer' is described as a car that can travel long distances as quickly and as comfortably as possible. Nick Ponting gets the opportunity to test out one of the best in it's class, the Bentley Continental GT!
The 3rd generation of the model from Crewe drives exceptionally whether crossing borders, or driving in the city, with 542BHP from it's 4.0 V8 engine, reaching 60MPH from a standstill in 3.9 seconds and going onto a top speed of 198MPH. The same engine that's found in the Porsche Panamera Turbo, Audi RS6 and the Lamborghini Urus!
The original Bentley Continental was based on the Volkswagen Phaeton when first released in 2003. This was when Bentley first became part of the Volkswagen Group. Nearly 20 years on though, and the Continental GT has evolved massively, with Nick's particular car a very stealthy spec, with black exterior on black, 22 inch wheels. There's also a carbon pack, adding some rather nice parts with blue accents. Is this Bentley's best looking car on the road today?
Inside, the black and blue theme continues, with luxurious quilted leather and an Alcantara finish around the cabin and steering wheel. Mixing a classy, luxurious finish with sportiness!
Bentley have got this model spot on with the Continental GT. It's comfortable, sporty and just eats up the miles, but who will win in the race from the South of England to the South of France? Paul and Tiff in the Sunseeker Yacht, or Nick in the Bentley? Find out soon!

Good to see Bentley gone back to making cars look good again. This GT looks gorgeous.

In the novels, James Bond drove a Bentley. He knew.

That’s my dream car. I wish I can afford it some day. Can he do another review pls.

Best looking modern GT car

[@donnorton5018]

No, the Phaeton was not a luxury Passat. It was the most advanced and most luxurious car that VW ever made.

[@apaul13150]

A perfect blend of modern/retro. Unusually stunning.

[@AutomotiveAvocation]

What a tease! Loved it!

[@Under_Construction100]

IMO this is the best GT. I, somehow, believe the S63/65 AMG Coupe is often overlooked but would give the Bent & the DBS Superleggera a fair run for their money. I'd choose the Stuttgart's GT over the other 2. By the way, great review 👌🏾

[@Jsah11]

Cannot wait to see the upcoming video!!

[@melvynkenobi44]

Great video. The GT has grown on me over the years.

[@T-Bag13]

Can't wait to see the next episode(s).

Perfect colour and trim. Sublime.

"It literally eats up the miles." This guy needs to look up "literally".

[@BurtSampson]

What a great looking car.

[@cjbfire95]

I love it and can see and feel myself with it!!!

[@AM4N18]

Look forward to the next episode! Do you have any views on the W12 version and if there was any reason you have the V8 specifically here? I'm interested, if it was between those two for the ultimate GT+daily, which of those would you go for?

[@justdriveit7434]

Great cinematography!!!congrats!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 The most luxurious GT!I would have the 812 by the way!!

[@lovecarsTV]

Thanks for the kind comment! The 812 vs. the Bentley would be interesting!

[@fang75429]

@@lovecarsTV 812 every day! I've got an F13 M6 currently and the only car on my radar is the 812

When I look at this car I think to myself: what a gorgeous car the Aston Martin DBS (DB9) is! 😊That's the grand tourer I would choose ...

[@melvynkenobi44]

What is the music at the end, please?

[@rych7852]

Black? Looks like a super deep Blue

[@alanjenkins1508]

It's a car for travelling long distances in. However given the cost of the car and its economy it is the last car you would use for the job given the effective cost per mile unless money means nothing to you.

[@gexpe2003]

[@philipminns3933]

The contrived 'races' were the worst thing on Top Gear. I'm sure your version won't be as hackneyed as theirs became, and I'm of course reserving judgement, but my instinct is that you probably shouldn't make a habit of that format...

[@stevehhall3385]

' in the City' really?..

[@boogboog8097]

Vantage think why they even make this V8 unless it's because of some tax advantage in Chyna

[@simonhall5377]

'listen to this' And then nothing...

[@carlgeorgtsigakis498]

Looks like half the interior is from the Audi parts bin... :(

[@johnlratcliffe]

Looking forward to part two. Please don't let Tiff, or anyone, rag it round a track destroying the tyres. Just makes me cringe. And there is no point in lifting the bonnet either! We don't need to know!!

[@Under_Construction100]

Very true. Let this be a grand tour race type of review.

Such an anomaly. A dull and uninspired ramble, why such a "pedestrian" review on a supposedly car based channel
