- Bentleys should't have stickers and hard suspension. We spoil some tyres investigating whether this car should have been allowed to live. There's also some words at grrc.goodwood.com/road/drives...

I think a sporting car is very befitting of Bentley. Remember, the original Bentley brothers were adrenaline junkies, and the original cars were all about going stupid fast in what was basically a big sofa on wheels. If anything, this is a return to Bentley's roots.
As it should be.
Yes this guy did not know so much att that time......
Chris i must say, you are just a legend.
The Bentleys were EASILY the best sounding GT3 cars at Bathurst this year. They made this clacking noise coming through the chase which, from 20m away, was just unbelievable.
Perfect car for rich Arabs to drive 20 mph in London.
PorscheSweden - Sums up this sorry excuse of a car perfectly.
PorscheSweden hahaha, perfectly described.
@@cybertree you live in london mate?
Chris Harris could drift a locomotive.
WikdSeafood Yeah, I can just see him in some great big American 4-8-4, front and rear bogies pointing in one (curved) direction while it actually turns in another! Physically impossible, of course, but it's a nice vision...
WikdSeafood ahahhahah
WikdSeafood
*I heard that once, he drifted a UNICYCLE!*
cybertree That would not surprise me! lol
Wayne Rooney approves.

"But Lorde, it's good"
But does it cut it's teeth on wedding rings?
Jason W. Morningwood ya ya yaa ya ya
onbrify -I am Lorde-
How does it still weigh more than the Moon?
NegativeNumbers427
And the Moon didn´t have the GT3 treatment yet!
NegativeNumbers427 Well the moon is actually pretty light. See how it just floats in the sky?
rjmari
Good call.
KlausM54 yes! make a racing version of the moon! less tidal force,it could be good.
NegativeNumbers427 It only weighs 30kg less. It's stupid
It would be very interesting to see you fill the vacancy they have on top gear at the moment, I really can't think of anyone else that could do it justice.
And your a proper driver!
I have never watched a better car reviewer. Man... Mr. Harris, you could keep me entertained for hours.
Another bloody brilliant/honest video Chris :-) (Bit concerned about all those semi trailers parked along the side of the track, slide off into one of those & say goodbye to you head & shoulders!)
Thank You Chris for every great video..
That V8 noise! Jesus Christ!
I was waiting for someone to test the GT3-R. The wait was worth it because Chris reviewed it.
Very good description of the experience behind the wheel
Great video. Now we need a RS3 video as well
Once again I find myself chuckling away with shear pleasure at a CH video. Now where did I put that banana....
Hi Chris!
The video is great, as usual. It's really nice to have your videos available for free again!
I'm going crazy trying to identify the song you use in this video(it's the same from the LaFerrari video, I think), could you tell me it's name please?
Thanks a lot, and please keep loving cars!
Awesome video as always, chris!
Love the credits footage! Good work Chris
Chris you are the best you tuber ever!i love watching your videos!
Loving the whole slow-mo car drifting gracefully around the track from the outside view. Then from the in car view a determined expression, elbows flying and a steering wheel whizzing around like a nutri bullet blender. Chris you make this stuff look easy....I would have put this car into the paddock next door 2nd turn lol.
Loved the ending part... Totally under control!
Hi Chris, when are we going to see you test driving the new gt3rs? Keep up the good work
You can actually see how heavy it is when it drifts or goes around the corners, the sound it makes is thrilling !
Great comment regarding changing the final drive. Porsche Boxster/Cayman take note!
Wtf! That super expensive Bentley has the exact same look as my -03 A4 3.0's gear selector thingi.
And how can they make a car so heavy?
As always, great work guys!
Beautiful as usual Chris
Fantastic video :) that Bentley sounded fantastic one of the best sounding V8's on sale :)
Chris are you going to review the Dodge Challenger Hellcat? I know it's fast in a straight line but I want a proper driver's opinion of the overall package. Keep up the great work!
epic as always man
He is one of the best (video) motor journalists... the way he makes his videos :-) :-)
I personally love the idea of Bentley making sporty production cars, but if they're going to be taken seriously in the segment they need an entirely new model that's lighter, smaller, and overall made from the ground up as a sports car. Great video as always Chris!
I didn't even know about this monster until someone nearby got one. He has so many gorgeous white on black cars it's no wonder he had to get this exact car. His garage is full with a Ferrari Laferrari, Lamborghini Aventador anniversario, and a 918. This one is kept outside with his maybach s600, ferrari California, Range rover Auto., 911 gt3, RS7, porsche panamera special edition, and Huracan. Some days more or less but goodness he is a lucky man.
It is a cool car I think, even if a bit confusing to what it exactly is and is for.
Great review!
Thats nice, but where is the GT3RS review.. CANT WAIT!!!!
Is hard to drift this car, the only way to drift it is weight transfer, no matter how stiff it is, it still roll like the hellcat Challenger. the torque vectoring won't allow any slides "if the stability control and the differential ecu quick enough". This car needed a limited slip diff. For some reason, I think Bentley doesn't really care about the GT3 R road car, the reason they build the road car is to pass FIA rules.
4:07 wow ! ha , just wow ! the way you hit that corner
I want to throw something out there: They haven´t made it hardcore enough. How´s that for a bombshell?
For this car to be a proper link to the GT3, it would have to be light (compared to the 2.2t, not light in absolute terms)and down on power (compared to the 580bhp , not down on power in absolute terms), because that are the defining characteristics of a race-y car.
Lose all the electronic gadgets, put in simple bucket seats, simply put: leave everything that isn´t vital to the operation of the machine. Than make the chassis out of aluminium and carbon composite materials, and you should have a car that is somewhere about 1750 kg.
I know this would require an insane amount of work to basically build a half new car, but it´s not like Bentley owners are strapped for cash...
If it´s a production limited to only 300 cars, why not go REALLY overboard and sell it for 500k in the end? I guarantee you that all of these 300 cars would sell like hot buns *for any price*, and that way Bentley would´ve left a REAL mark on the game - and not this car, which is for all it´s supposed hardcore-ness still relatively sane and most of all, weighs too much to convey real sportiness.
Bacon and banana sandwich ... what more can u expect from a British Nobel brand. Seems the engineers did a great job to give this heavy bulky street ship a diet for sportiveness. The roating v8 fits well to the look ... tks for the vid
I can't wait to see what Bentley do with the panamera platform
Should've kept the rear seats. With that sort of weight it's just a really expensive M5. It looks so wild the instant it breaks traction, the kind of slip that makes you think "this guy is gonna spin for sure" but then it kind of grabs itself and you hold the slide. Strange beast this Bentley is.
I know what you mean, accept I had maple sirup with mine too, the gear selector looks old fashion in a bad way, they should update it
What is the name of the song? It is the same song used in the Laferrari video.
It probably still have lots of amenities and insulations, which makes it still weighs around 2 tonnes...
Wonder if they sell a shedded version of this with a lower price.... How much will it weigh? Will it be around the R35?
I'm really not sure why you'd buy this over either (a) a normal Continental, if you want a nice road car, (b) a 911 GT3 if you want the whole track-biased 2-seater thing or (c) a Jaguar F-type if you want a British sporting GT with a V8 in the front. It seems to work better than it has any right to, but it doesn't make it any less of an answer to a question no-one asked...
i think we would like to see more bloopers. maybe a whole video with goofy stuff.
Chris Harris makes drifting look so easy. So calm and relaxed as he transitions.
Chris, when the M3 vs C63 S episode?
Bacon- check
Bananas- check
Bread- check
My life is complete.
Love the fact this 'lightened Bentley' is still well over 2 tonnes
Chris should be a presenter on Top Gear :D
I bet you must be feeling real happy about predicting the future right Zoran?
it would be great if we could know the music track that accompanies this video
@chris. You better be on top gear's top 5 list!
sounds way better than I thought.
mr harris did you fly past me on the way to brecon in the Range Rover today? it wasn't hanging around and when i took a sneaky look sideways it sure looked like you...
It's kind of the same concept as their 1920-1930s race cars - big, heavy and powerful.
I normally hate modern bentleys, but this one is kind of cool.
The green stickers and spoiler look ultra silly on a Bentley. They should really stick to luxury.
Cheddar cheese and strawberry jam on a digestive... So they get to use the GT3 moniker but not Aston?
At the end that face, priceless.
Bloody funny!! You're a good man Chris
You guys should upload in 4K
They did a remarkable job on the racing GT3, its about 1300kg making it lighter than the SLS and Cadillac ATS GT3 and about the same as the R8 LMS.
Are you now sponsored by ASDA
Richard Major
Every little helps.
Richard Major Looks like the interior was too... Asda Smart Price green not so tasty
Richard Major There are Tesco and Waitrose lorries also stored at Brunters in this vid.
I would let Chris drive my Dax Rush in a heartbeat!!
Chris you should be the new Top Gear presenter ?
I was curious if Chris could drift a bus but now i know he can!
I wonder if Bentley realised the sporty green inserts are the same shade as ASDA
This only makes sense as a collectors item.
If the road car is still this heavy completely stripped down, do they even manage to get the weight down in their actual GT3 car?
What is the song at the beginning?
You've inspired me! I would love to try a banana bacon sandwich!
When are you going to do a video on the Ferrari 488?
Bacon & banana toastie ... Hmmmm. Going to have to try it!
I'd love that without the spoiler, stickers and green bits, but then I might as well just choose the V8S. Except I've got not money.
absolute dream car
Same here im in love with this car
Did you tested it at VMAX 200 ? :D
diplomatic review
Perhaps it needs a carbon fibre tub etc. to reduce the weight further (?)
It's like putting a spoiler on a tractor. Just because it has a massive engine. Sounds like a good idea but is flawed. It's still a tractor.
It's layout is the opposite of the racing version, they should keep it the same to keep the handling character. I mean the engine posistion in street version is ahead of front axle= wrong, but in Racing is behind and RWD = Right mass distribution.
Now that no more top gear?
5:05 what a face? Hahahahahahaa!
Don't really see the problem here since Mercedes has been building sportscars that weigh like 2 tons for ages.
If their supposedly sporty GT3 R(!!!) is 2200 kg, how heavy is their SUV going to be? 5 tonnes?
review a dedicated pro level drift car. for the lolz.
So Chris Harris, what you are telling me is that the GT3R is Mega!
So, what causes this car to be so heavy?
Weights almost as my infiniti FX50s
This isn't a sport car, this is a Cow! WTH?
This Sounds like an tv advert!
Just seen one, the front looks evil & brilliant
What is it like to race a Euro tank?
When we seeing a rs6 vid
So this is how continental drift term came from
Please tell me you will be replacing Clarkson ! ? ! ? !
Why do you always look back at the rear mirror after a crazy drift? =D
Dennis Chan to see the tire marks you leave behind lol
Dennis Chan It's like saying why do you look back at the woman you just nailed ..... you just do!
LOL! It's a man's instinct... =D
You forgot your sneakers on the backseat
This is a much more exciting version of Continental Drift.
That face at 5:05 lol
Chris Harris,Guy Martin and Tiff needell for the new Top Gear.
