In 2003, the year we reviewed the first Bentley Continental GT, Dave Brailsford took over as performance director of British Cycling, where he became known for the phrase, "the aggregation of marginal gains." He explained the working philosophy to the BBC as breaking down every aspect of riding a bicycle-from pedals to the best pillows for the best sleep-and improving each aspect 1 percent to achieve a significant cumulative improvement.
The shepherds of the Bentley Continental GT have mastered marginal gains, punctuated by the occasional leap. When we reviewed the first GT Speed in 2008, it weighed 5180 pounds, made 600 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque from a 6.0-liter twin-turbo W-12 engine, reached 60 mph in four seconds, and could hit a claimed 202 mph. Thirteen years later, the 2022 Bentley Continental GT Speed weighs a claimed 5011 pounds, makes 650 horsepower and 664 pound-feet from an updated 6.0-liter twin-turbo W-12, launches from a standstill to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, and runs out of steam at 208 mph.
The design or performance of other cars may have evolved further or faster, but if any automaker knows what it has, it's Bentley. The formula worked in 2003, and as we discovered in Sicily behind the wheel of the newest Continental GT Speed, it works just as well today.
The third-gen Continental made a leap in looks, turning the previous model's enforcer physique into that of a pentathlete. To create the Speed-which is available as a coupe or a convertible-24 more horses joined the W-12's corral, then Bentley's wardrobe department put a dark finish on the grilles, added a carbon-fiber splitter, reshaped the side sills, and fit a unique set of 22-inch wheels. Marginal, indeed.
The Speed's roughly $50,000 premium over the standard car is wasted money in everyday driving. As in the standard GT that makes the same torque, copious shove hustles 2.5 tons of Anglo-German matériel, and copious hides turn that matériel into a hush room at a private London club. The triple-chamber air suspension with adaptive damping and 48-volt active anti-roll bars separates the driver from worldly unpleasantness like Welsh Guards protecting Windsor Castle.
On Sicily's narrow, tangled road network, the potholes and bizarrely uneven pavement were seen but not felt. Desperately uncouth surfaces compelled a roar from the Pirelli P Zero PZ4s-275/35R-22 in front, 315/30R-22 in back-but there's only so much thunder one can conceal after putting 5000 pounds on low-profile rubber with contact patches as big as elephant feet.
The challenge for this new Speed was that when Bentley wanted to make this Continental GT better, as engineer Nigel Hamlyn told us, "We'd maxed out all the tools we had."
As a result, the newest Speed the first of its kind to wag its tail in the language of an enthusiast. Squirting out of a tight exit into another switchback, a combination of generous throttle and steering lock gets the rear steering and eLSD to snap the back around. The best bit came in a flat open area we could treat like a skidpad, ladling on throttle until the more forgiving ESC gently fed the backside into a Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift stance. Jolly good stuff.
This remains a big GT, though, not a sports car. Letting the eight-speed dual-clutch automatic shift for you, even in the now quicker-shifting Sport mode, means trying to time steering and pedal inputs to the twin-scroll turbos going full boost. Better to take over shifting and keep the turbos spooled, even if it means being so high in the rev range that the W-12's usually threatening rumble turns into a gravelly yelling. And forget about theatrics such as pops on downshifts and overrun; Bentley has largely tuned out such excess.
Bentley set up a twisting course at an abandoned NATO base-derelict nuclear-missile silos and all-to give us a proper go where retaining walls and police wouldn't ruin the day. Sadly, our minders placed "BRAKE NOW" signs so conservatively that generous application of the optional carbon-fiber discs left enough room after stopping to take an Uber to the corner. The 17.3-inch front rotors with 10-piston calipers clearly are the product of someone at Bentley HQ who loves singing, "I like big brakes and I cannot lie." Stomp on them and their comical stopping power will have your eyes bulging like Wile E. Coyote's, not to mention the eyes of any drivers behind you.

Could you tell me what the name of the bluish color is?
Hi there the color is imperial bleu 👍
How much.beautiful car.❤😊
😮
400,000 us dollars not in my lifetime. Not for a car it's nice and all but hell at the end of the day it's still a car.
That's an opinion. But if a person has it to spend how is it any of YOUR goddamn business??
@@Ric0806 First of all you are correct is my opinion, it’s called freedom of speech now is that your goddamn business?
@@1987whitez my father spent 27 years in the military so you can have that right. I have no problem with you expressing yourself like a bytche if that's how you choose to conduct yourself. Next question.....how short a man are you?
Gentlemen take it easy.... the thing here is to always remember " If you ask for the price you probably can't afford it." Plus it's never that serious 400k ain't a lot of money to blow on such a masterpiece ❤
@Ric0806 dude, you have anger issues. He wasn't telling anyone how to spend their money. He was just expressing the opinion that he, personally wouldn't spend that much money on a car. I don't see why you feel the need to mind his own GODDAMN business.
Everything but the headlights.

*Promo SM* 🏃

unfortanetly no adults can sit in backseat right?
It only seems that way there is actually enough space, for me at least (im 1m75)
@@MANCARS888 oh ok i paused the video severl times and if i look with eye measure i thought somebody average can fit but i wasnt sure. Well then its ok. Big guy goes front and small wife and teenager goes behind and big dady driving hahah
@@zarosderer4447 hahaha lol😂
If you need more space in the back, get a Flying Spur instead.
Darn, but you were a legit player?
