going 190+ mph around a bendy track in the wet... gosh Tiff's balls are legendary.
190mph in the rain with no safety gear or crash helmet Only Tiff lol
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!
Pity about the way it looked though!
@@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.
Does the Lotus Carlton make me feel like I want to blow myself?
Stıll looks fresh. One of the best cars of modern era
Henry Discipline you probably drive a rolls, if this looks like a brick to you
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.
One of the most beautiful luxury cars you will ever see .
Bland jelly mould with Liberace on lighting detail.
Shocked me when jumped!!
Me too
A brilliant review. Well thought out. Thanks for the video.
I’ve seen 4 adults in great comfort in the GT, they were messing about.
bloody liar
where have you seen 4 dwarfs in a bentley?
I think it's a joke or he means the GT flying spur from the same era. Or indeed he is a bloody liar.
I just love this art piece right here.
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.
Adam Turner this clip is from 2003 ??

@chris jones nobody said he did 🤨
Steptoe and son go motoring....
In other words, s bit of a wanker
The absolute best car ever made
That Tiff lad. Wow, what a driver.
Absolutely fantastic GT. No not for everyone,
because we are all different. With different needs.
Thank you.
Love that classic Conti, weirdly my most recent upload was a video on the Continental Gt too
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.
The 2007 onwards GT Speed is the ultimate version.
I do like the Speed wheels
The Speed side grills on the fascia are a bit odd, but pretty good version indeed
What about the new GT and Bentayga for 2019/20 -- and while the W12 is my favourite, what about the hybrid versions as well.
That was nice! Needles is fkn crazy
Is this a 2003 model as that's listed as the broadcast date? It still looks great!
thats because the design barely changed over the years, though the new facelift model is gorgeous.
2004 model
It's a sport coupe sedan guys ; get with the program !
Nice!
where Vickie at? !
Is it me or is that steering wheel a slightly modified version of what's in the Phaeton and the first gen Touareg?
Hussein Omobola probably, remember Bentley is part of the Volkswagen group so maybe did si to cut costs
phaeton has same engine at half the price
chris davies They share components but they’re not exactly the same.
Great driving in wet conditions
Is it VGA..
Big bang
That tie......what was he thinking?
Hard to believe I'd be looking elsewhere ...
Audi A8 with VW Jetta /golf electrical wiring .
At 3:50 isn't that where Bond almost ran over Vesper Lynd before flipping and crashing the Aston Martin in Casino Royale??
That’s interesting because originally in the Novel Casino Royale Bond Drove a Bentley in that Scene.
Hahaha . My 2002 Camry had 3 garage door openers in the mirror.
🔥 🔥 🔥
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 👍😀
The best car!!
you've won a weekend with purple aki
......this is the one with the VW motor in it. Oh my, how very bespoke.
BENTLEVW !!!!!
Fighter pilots of the track
Did your man get dressed in the dark scruffy get
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?
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.
Pedro ElGordo There was no V8 model in 2004. Only the W12.
A 115k Bentley and a 15k Volkswagen in 2020
I loved this model and dreamt about owning one until I drove it. It was very average I wasn't impressed.
bloody liar
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.
TraviTrail Name any other car from 2004 that isn’t outdated.
@@palmz4uI drove one and was not that impressed as well will try several others to see can’t généralise after drove only one !!!
Tom Ford wonder what he is up too these days
Topgear
Now they’re worth £15k
"Street music" 😅, what?
U guys are juat uploading all your old videos i have been following fifth gear since it was telecasted on discovery wtf do something new fellas
They have been doing this for quite sometime now.
Surely this is a joke, the quality of the film looks like it's from about 5 years ago! look at the state of the inside, the sat nav looks like one I had in a 2006 S type jag!
You do realize that this film is from 2003 and that Bentley is a 2004 model.
indicated 190mph
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!
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.
@@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.
@@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.😂
U can't take your eyes off that car
Second
💯💯💯💯💥💥💥💥🤑😥😢😭
wtf is that around yer neck??
I miss too ford
Old...so old
Boring.
Annoying format- why the need for two people reviewing one car? Irritating.
