    For the prewar era, an 8.0 litre making 400 horsepower is quite impressive. The 1st Dodge Viper made the same and that's with 90's technology and 10 cylinders

      Much better than the Rolls Royce 6.75 V8 making 224hp.

      It would if it was true. They made about 200 bhp. The BBC don't bother checking facts but the figures are in plenty of books.

    Probably the best looking car Bentley's ever made. Just keep making this. For the next 100 years. And I'm someone who hates Aston for making the same car over and over.

      Those Astons were fine. I think he's referring to all of the identical Astons from the DB7 all the way up through the latest 2018 Vantage (which finally looks a bit different--although not better).

    There's only one thing more badass than this coupe. It's the 2008+ Brooklands.
    Unluckily, villain Bentley's are gone, we have the expensive whore Continental GayT.

    1:59 400 bhp and 2.5 tonnes. Sounds like pretty much every midrange EV SUV out there.

    The Continental T is a great cruiser with a beautiful interior, this idiot thought it was a track car lol

  • @sirdigbyminge1639

    The power output claimed is way off. If the BBC researcher had bothered to read a book, they could have more accurately suggested 200 to 215 bhp, 203 to 220 ps, 149 to 160 kW.

    Usual charmless and churlish review from the oddly voiced one.

    to me, the aluminum dash is actually one of the coolest things about this car. incredible craftsmanship inside and out, beastly, ...just a negative host

      I had the same aluminum dash on my Australian sports car of the '70s lol.

      2 and a half tons it had to shift though and you wouldnt have wanted to push it that much with them old brakes

    • @sirdigbyminge1639
      @sirdigbyminge1639 Год назад

      It's not "isane ", it's wrong. 200 to 220 max. If it had 400 it would do a lot more than 125. I've raced them at Oulton Park, and they could not keep up with my Riley, my posh mates Bugatti, or even a Morgan 3 wheeler!

    I wonder if Audi will allow Bentley to make another car like this. Put a Electric engine like the Spectre. I love poth of them.

      It was the original top gear theme tune before clarkson and co took the programme on.

    A somewhat disappointing presenter.
