- 700bhp... The new Bentley Supersports is clearly a veritable power machine, but does a Continental GT really need quite so much brake horsepower? Let's take a full look at the last-hurrah to the second generation of the Bentley Continental GT in the form of the Supersports Coupe and see what it's about! What do you think? Are you looking forward to the new car launching soon?
A special thank you goes to HR Owen Bentley Berkshire for the opportunity to drive the car and experience what it's like.
We get started with a tour around both the exterior and interior of the car to see the changes from the Continental's W12 Speed variant including new wheels, use of carbon fibre, a rear wing, aerodynamic bumpers and an Akrapovic exhaust system. Then it's time to jump in and take it for a drive to experience 2,280kg combined with 710PS and 1,017Nm of torque and how that sits as a supercar or super-GT.
Thanks for watching, Tim

Shmee150 EPIC! 😎👍👊
Shmee150 those paddles look very oddly positioned
SUBSCRIBE to my CZcams channel and I will subscribe to you write it in my video comments
Shmee150 fuckin decent
Shmee150 except the screen looks more outdated then a modern tablet
Does Shmee really need 150?
JayTEditer 😂😂
150 what though, that's the question!
Shmee150 definitely not humor
Shmee150 150 girlfriends
Shmee150 at the end of your name it would sound better without it
A lightweight Bentley doesn't make a great deal of sense given their market so it made sense to just give it loads of power to compensate that!
Yes, I talked more about that, it's an unusual concept.
Shmee150 Great work as always tim!
what about the gt3r?
Bugatti is not light. But still great cars. Bentley is Bugatti with more seats and for less money.
I really miss when opening the hood allowed you to actually see the engine and every detail of it. These days it's just a load of plastic
I'm talking about most cars though. Either way it would still be cool to see the engine.
My nigga Doug already did it
Naahhh Biitch the prick Doug douchmero?
Love how elegant and smooth the power delivery is... good video!
hey shmee your channel is awesome keep it up
Thank you for your support
Thanks Shmee for another great video
Finally he drives the car and not just look at them like the latest videos with Brabus..
Shmee thnx for this introduction of Bentley...it is my favorite car of all time....seriously mqn nice job for this video 👌👍👍
Next video: I'm buying too many cars, & now I'm broke.
I feel that coming soon
Awais X more like 'I'm not buying enough cars, got no money so I'll buy more'
So nice that you did a straightforward review!
akrapovic exhausts are just a beauty. Never gonna have anything else on my car.
Nice car i love it also congrats on the 1m subbs
1:56 that voice crack tho😂😂
Btw i love your content shmee!!!
Absolutely mental spec. Best Continental gt I've seen yet
The colour is amazing keep the good videos up
Thanks for the support
THANKS, TIM AND BEN AND CREW I LIKE THAT FF U GOT.
Can´t wait for the new generation because it will combine the best from the past AND the future 😍👑
The Continental Supersports is a graceful leaving of the "old" second generation of the Bentley Continental :))
Nice vid
I was taken out for a ride in a 1st gen SS by a friend of mine who works at Bentley and was shocked by the starkness of it, strut bar instead of rear seats, fixed front seats no height adjust. Then you realise it's really all about the amazing engine. Looking forward to what comes next.
Hey Shmee, I have a question. Does this car use the completely new W12 from the Bentayga? Or does it retain the old W12 with revisions? I'm guessing larger turbos/upgraded cooling/software would be needed for the old engine to produce this kind of power.
This is the Perfect car! It Has much hp, looks stunning, has 4seats and quite much storage room in the Trunk. Everything you need
Cool video
Shmee i love your videos i really like the cars
Ayyyyyyy 1million subs
That color combo is stunning.
oh man this car is a dream. luxury yet so ridiculously fast. if i had the money this would be the car.
Shmee150 You should seriously buy one of these.It is such a good looking heavy beast!
Amazing
Gentlemen comes from Bentley. What a machine
Hi,Tim, I've been thinking at the engine of this new continental and the top torque that is able to unleash and I remember another luxurious coupe that was able to develop a kind of that amount of torque and it's the S65!!! Why don't you think it over a car like these two may be a good upgrade for the FF,perhaps put it next to another Ferrari like the 812 or the "tdf" although it will be left hand drive but more engaging to drive than the FF?
Such a perfect car - so luxurious and so powerful!

Bentleys have an interesting nickname thanks to their Racing Heritage, usually Bentley cars are rather massive and intimidating due to their weight and Power, hence the name Land Yachts or simple, Boatley, I love the continental GT, I would love to own one myself but the price tag is slightly out of reach for me, But I am a fan of the Car and their Racing teams using the Bentley, be it M-Sport or Team Parker Racing. How about it Schmee, a Bentley Continental GT for your collection ?
I've Seen the Continental the first time in Berlin 2004, i look at the Window by the building to this car, the cardealer comes out and say to me i can sit in this car, since this Moment its my favourite car i love the Continental GT every year more... This is absolutly the coolest conti GT Bentley ever created
There's also a GT3-R version without backseats based on the V8 model if i'm not mistaken. Have a good day!
The first gen super sports was not a front seat only. There was an option for rear seats that many cars had. Not sure if that option was available in the UK
Love the videos!! Is it possible for u to make a video about the Brabus 850 based on the S63 Coupé? Like take it for a test drive? That would be super sick!
I already did a video with the 900 Rocket which is technically even one up on that!
i think i saw that one but did u drive it properly like u always do? and exhaust notes=?
Exhaust notes yes, driving was not possible
Beatiful beast 😍
What Navigation system do you use for your trips ? Like so he sees it
Any chance you were driving in Belguim today Shmee? I saw a Britain Ford Focus RS toghether with an cayman gt4 heading in the direction of germany, I thought I might as well ask :D
Nope, I am not in Belgium today :)
I would prefer the single tone white paintwork, but I do like the black alloys and radiator grill
One day just one day I will own one, I absolutely love Bentley's!
A luxury sports coupe should have analog gauges. Digital only when its necessary. When the car's computer can fix the car itself. Now that's an update I'd like to see. Car self repair system activated / radiator hose repaired / radiator fluid is at normal level /using emergency radiator refill tank. You are green GO!
Will you do a track battle of the AMG-GT R vs 911 GT3? :)
That could be fun when I've got them both, I'll certainly try
There's a recent Top Gear video with Chris Harris comparing the AMG GT R, 991 GT3 RS and the BMW M4 GTS if you're interested.
hi shmee im guys
Hi guys!
old joke is old
adj789 grammar your grammar sucks
holy crap this is the best ever gt car, luggage space ,, well who would have believed that gt meaning ,, grand turissmo , a car capable of driving all over europe ,quickly ,and without fuss
Old fashioned dials in the dash board is perfect - I hate all those new ones in Mercs etc - that does look cheap!
The Golf 7th gen have the same Navigationsystem :D
Guys Shmee, I'm hi.
Are you going to say it's a warm day when it's only 69 degrees Fahrenheit
Funny that it's my car on all of the screens 😎 gen 2 still the best looking Bentley! All you need is a CGT Mini cooper and a Triumph 😎👍 didn't plan to by all English it just happened when I was looking after bang for the buck.
I loooooove Bentleys :D
SHQUAD THE SHMEE-TEAM.
I LOV these cars it's a realistic chance to own a big w12engine 6.0ltr car like a mini version of an Bugatti vayron kinda way.
you can get them in "Mansory" built versions too.
Hey tim, do you miss the Vanquish?
Technically it's still mine, but it's only been a day!
What engine is it?
Is this really a second generation? To me, it always was just a facelift, since the silhouette is the same and the interior didn't change that much.
Madness
1:57 LEathers
Bentley, Aston Martin, McLaren British big 3 nuclear bomb car I love this cars
I think hes slowly going insane
Shmee you should start putting cameras on the outside so we can hear the exhaust. You should do that in all your videos. Just a suggestion.
2218 kg, so its even 12kg heavier than even a Lamborghini Urus!! Bentleys are always crazy heavy and that is why other cars with that top speed have such a quicker acceleration than Bentleys. Someone should show Bentley a V12 instead of a W12 because I don't think they know what that is. And, it the V12 is still relaxing and creates more power like Astons.
I really think the carbon fibre accents look better than chrome on the Bentley continental. I think it makes it look more sporty.
Yessssssss 😂😍😍😍😍😍
Next video: I bought every super car possible
Imagine if this car does a weight reduction..must be super crazy fast..
Favourite Bentley
GT3-R for me I think
is it weird the Doug Demuro review was before this and better
Is this for sale ?
"Weight saving and Bentley" shouldn't be used in the same sentence yet has heavy as that car is the performance figures are insane
Why *brake* horse power??? You wanna accelerate not brake who tf brakes
Hello There 😂😂😂
Hello There Just googled it and then i saw this comment😁😂
Hello There and why is there a difference between bhp, hp and PS... wtfff
Because the boys across the pond are idiots, its just crank hp.
Maksym Z it's mainly people in the south of England that say BHP. Up North it's just HP. I've never seen why they call it BHP down south to be honest.
The only color I would take a bentley black and white, all black and grey
17:37 All you need to see
Do you buy these cars or rent them or have a deal with the dealerships to make these reviews?
These are press or demo cars offered to me by dealerships or companies themselves.
Shmee150 How do I get companies to do that for me too bro?
This car is the fastest 4 seater production car in the world.
Dream car.
you should get one this is nasty
Ama,ing car
A bit disappointed that start button is on passenger side of the console
how much it cost?
Anyone see that Renault Clio in the background 😍😍😍😍😍
Which would you rather have, Aventador or the Bentley?
The weight of a house but no trunk motor to save weight the things car manufacturers do to save weight are silly sometimes no door handles, thinner carpet,my favorite no metal badge just a sticker not much real weight saving with any of those
In my opinion, this is a classic case of how a Greedy Company takes its customers' intelligence for granted. First you make a really expensive and exclusive (300 examples only) GT3-R and customers buy it mostly because of its Exclusivity'. Then once you realise that this riddddiiiicuuulous concept sells like hell, you make another 710 of them under another name and sell it again for a hefty price. SO you screw the ones who thought they would be the only 300 previliged ones with a 'winged' bentley. COME ON - THE EXTRA PAIR OF SEATS AND A BIGGER ENGINE ISN'T FOOLING ANYONE. DO THEY REALLY THINK PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ITS ANOTHER GT3-R? WITH THE AKRA EXHAUSTS, CARBON FIBER DASH (although with a different pattern this time), THE WING-SPOILER-DIFFUSER set, LACK OF BOOT MOTORS,same price, same performance, SAME BLOODY PREPOSITION! They , screwed their GT3R customers, diluted the brand and insulted the intelligence of many people. AND I was hoping SHMEE would address this topic or at least discuss the differences (if any) between the Supersports and GT3R. ALSO WILL SOMEONE FROM BENTLEY (or otherwise) PLEASE TELL ME - DOES THE SUPERSPORTS ALSO FEATURE TORQUE VECTORING BY BRAKING AND REDUCED GEARING AT THE FINAL DRIVE????????? Shmee please share your thoughts.
Do you think this car will depreciate or keep it's value? Because they will be made in a small number.
They should have put 1200hp for that Bentley, Its a crime to put less power
I've found at Autotrader an used one of these for sale in Great Britain for only, more or less, £98000!!! What do you think about it?
aii....sat lagi kena jugak shmee ni..
11:25 it does the things that you expect the car the continental gt has always done so well very well in terms of finish the fit of everything but it also does things that doesn't do so well not so well as well... 😂
Why is the hood latch on the passenger's side lol
Could it replace the FF
certainly, yes.
Answer to the question:
It needs more
Why would you question if it's too much BHP? Why didn't you question the BHP of the 812 Superfast...
As long as Tim is driving , It need only 350 BHP
I feel the burn, literally
I didn't realise it was limited edition. With almost everything being limited edition now, is there still anything special about limited edition cars?
No. It's simply a way to keep value in a model toward the end of its lifecycle. The most hilarious one is the 3 series BMW; there's an M Sport "Shadow Edition" now that is literally a slightly altered trim package on a model in its last months of production.
I do wonder if 209 mph is a guesstimate or accurate number - the Mclaren 720s has 710 bhp to the Bentleys 700, the MAC weighs 800 kilos less and flat out only does 211, yes it will get to that speed much faster than the Bentley but 209 seems a stretch doesn't it..
Weight doesnt matter when its about top speed
Get rid of the "boy racer" spoiler. A Bently does not need or deserve such an insult!
Does this kind of car really need a purpose built performance version of it? I think not.
