MotoMan drives the 572 HP Bentley Continental GT3R – a further derivation of what was previously his favorite flavor of the Bentley Continental range – the V8s. However, with the engine from the Audi RS7, things beyond horsepower change – namely a slight weight reduction that all come together to change the driving dynamics of the Bentley Continental . . .

Estonia says Rear drive, would handle corners a little better
No. It is too heavy. Even with 2wd will not cut much weight. It need turn to be Extreme supperleggera – so it will not be a Bentley.
nice am first
Santa Maria Madre de Dios!
Seems like a great way to get rid of a set of tires.
End question – no, I don’t think the target audience want out right ‘shit yourself’ fun, more ‘refined safe luxurious’ fun.
Happy Thanksgiving Motoman! Love Bentley, this GT3-R should be an additional model instead of a special edition in my opinion. Stunning! I just wish the center console could be had with some burl walnut instead of Carbon fiber, just like the regular Continental can be had with the mix of Carbon fiber and wood.
Any chance of some more British luxury, say a Jaguar XJ Supercharged/R?
As for the end question, that’s something I’m not sure how to answer, I’d like a RWD Bentley, but not on the current platform. Hopefully something like the Speed 6 concept replaces the Continental and has better weight distribution. I’m from Lake Tahoe, Nevada or Marin County, California depending on the time of year and have a fair amount of time spent driving and riding in various Bentley’s.
not to be picky but that green trim is pretty ugly.
OMG PLEASE MAN MOTO MAN THE NEXT AMERICAN TOP GEAR HOST
Always think the interior of the continental is good but never really liked it, but this one is lovely.
Maybe I lack taste but I don’t know about that green interior
Say it again. The engine from a rs7. Bentley decided to carry av engine over instead of doing a meaningful change to the w12, trademark of Bentley and….. Audi 8
in other words, a pimped rs but makes less power vs rs7 performance edition, has much more weight, has an interior arguably better than a lot of cars?
You can hear that beautiful Audi engine
The fact that i see one of these for $100,000+ less with only 100 miles. Is hilarious
Yes rear drives are always more fun if your into drifting. More importantly, why can’t we get a button to switch from rear to all wheel drive?
Amazing car but I’m not sure I completely get it – is it a sports car or a gt? I think it’s one of the few models I’d prefer the less powerful, quieter version, makes for a more coherent car.
Having done a lot of driving in the Northeast US, all-wheel drive is valuable to me. I want an all-season, most road conditions ride rather than a thrill ride. After all, MotoMan, on this video you warned ‘don’t do this at home!’ And if I paid this much for such a fine automobile I would want to be able to use it as a daily driver, personal car. ‘Limited Editions’ sound fine but there would need to be, I imagine, an expensive bit of redevelopment to make a rear-wheel drive version work as well as this one.
With torque vectoring and being a heavy car, the Bentley can be rwd. With that, it’s also lighter.
It’s too big n heavy to be a sports car.. A very nice appearance package though!
An answer to your question at the end though, about making it a high powered rear drive car.
Basically a Bentley HellCat.. I imagine the chassis would be over powered with only 2 driven wheels
Even considering it as a limited edition performance package, I’d say the average Bentley customer wants a car that’s stable and easy to drive.
I feel like a fair few of these went to the middle east…
@MotoManTV why would one get this over something like the new MB E63 AMG S? Or even the R8 Plus? Both as luxurious inside and better driving and looking.
