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.
I so much love Bentley
Bentley 2021 SUV is so lit.
That’s my dream car. I wish I can afford it some day. Can he do another review pls.
@@ralph6310 I bought mine for $180,000. It was mostly from my profit in crypto trading.
@@fawaz2996
Oh wow. You do crypto trading. I have been on it but so much loss. No significant profit.
@@nicollete5447 Yes. I do.
Then you need a broker. And I can recommend one.
Best looking modern GT car
What a tease! Loved it!
Cannot wait to see the upcoming video!!
A perfect blend of modern/retro. Unusually stunning.
Great video. The GT has grown on me over the years.
Enjoyed that - thanks!
Can't wait to see the next episode(s).
Perfect colour and trim. Sublime.
Great cliffhanger!
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 👌🏾
I love it and can see and feel myself with it!!!
What a great looking car.
Great cinematography!!!congrats!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 The most luxurious GT!I would have the 812 by the way!!
Thanks for the kind comment! The 812 vs. the Bentley would be interesting!
@@lovecarsTV 812 every day! I've got an F13 M6 currently and the only car on my radar is the 812
That comparison would make an epic video. Come on. Do it already
@@fang75429 i prefer the Continental
Great spec on that GT..
beautiful
Yes it is Beautiful.Dream Car! And sounds Great.
"It literally eats up the miles." This guy needs to look up "literally".
No, the Phaeton was not a luxury Passat. It was the most advanced and most luxurious car that VW ever made.
Interesting. Next episode, please.
That first song just seconds :) is Ryan taubert: lux ;).
Great video as always!!
Thank you!
This is my car !
in heaven.
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?
Beautiful car stunning views, where in England was this filmed?
Dream car.
Yes, absolutely.
Welcome to Top Gear
One of the best 👌🏾 in fact it separates the boys from men. And it will be in my drive way soon!
Tiff is rocking that shirt
Wow ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
"it literally eats up gasoline"...... lol
This is sick
The best
Paul and Tiff, have they became real influencers? 😄
Black? Looks like a super deep Blue
What is the music at the end, please?
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 ...
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.
I'll take the Sunseeker 72’ any day.
My pockets ain’t deep enough ❤😢
what is the name of that v8 engine?
I thought the "weights more than my house" joke was long gone...
What colour is that? Looks like a very dark blue, not black.
Can we have next episode then…. Been waiting a year for French part… 🤷🏻♂️
back end looks like a Audi A7 though
Welcome to trypophobia skin island
Where’s the little fella, Paul?
He’ll be back soon, don’t worry? 😂
Wheres Paul N tiff......!!!
If the silver price goes where I hope, that is on my list.
' in the City' really?..
'listen to this'
And then nothing...
Vantage think why they even make this V8 unless it's because of some tax advantage in Chyna
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...
🏴🥃🥃🏴
👍👍
Looks like half the interior is from the Audi parts bin... :(
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!!
Very true. Let this be a grand tour race type of review.
Ja, schönes Auto , aber nie vom Engländer ....
A Mercedes Benz S class you mean ?
Wouldn't you rather ride in the back of an S-Class? 🤔
Horrible spec but otherwise a great car
Best at being unreliable period
good production and everything but your clothing has to be more apropriate for the car
Such an anomaly. A dull and uninspired ramble, why such a "pedestrian" review on a supposedly car based channel
