The Bentley GT Speed does everything brilliantly. It's a true 200 mph car. It's at the pinnacle of design, poise, and comfort. It's refined, has a perfect ride, and yet, still handles like a car a ton lighter. And all the tech involved in making it do what it does, somehow, doesn't make driving it any less fun. The two-decade old W12 engine will die at the end of this model year, and Bentley is sending it off with the GT Speed: The best gasoline powered car we've ever driven.
Bentley provided the vehicle, insurance, and a tank of gas for this review.

I am so impressed with these new type of TST videos. I don't even really care about the car, and I can watch the whole thing without pause. This duo it the best of the car review genre on youtube these days for sure.

The smartest thing Bentley ever did for future residuals was put in that revolving screen (I know it's a cost option). Screens are the easiest ways to date a car interior and hiding them will make this thing look classy and up to date in 20 years.

Yep... 💀💀 Employment is literally renting another human being as if their property. The employer-employee relationship is a very insidious dynamic. Employment is a rental contract. Like if you rented capital (say, a chainsaw from Home Depot), you pay rent for the "time preference" (basically the cost of time) for a piece of property. Capitalism is based on a principle of self ownership, which sounds empowering, until you realize that most people don't own capital goods other than themselves, and must rent out the authority over themselves as pieces of "human capital". This is a process of dehumanization where human beings are valued for their return on investment as capital goods. This is why, at the very least, capitalism needs unions and safety nets (or abolishment), or else the system won't value people for their human value. Importantly we must also think about our sick, elderly, and disabled people, as they can't provide competitive economic return for the investor class to value. We must figure out a way to change this economic system if we wish to value each other.

Bentley... PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER SUPERSPORTS!
Probably the best review on a Bentley ever, and just like a Corvette, they made it best, and killed it xD PS: I kind of am looking into getting an aeropress. Specially now seeing the XL size
Finally an ad I can buy! I’m getting an Aeropress XL right now; thanks for bringing it to my attention!! OK, back to Bentley things.
Experienced drivers understand that driving isnt just about straight line acceleration or quarter miles. Thats why those with serious money who can choose any car they wish will chose a slightly slower car but one that offers a compete encompassing full driving experience.
4:30 an on got me cackling. Well done
I will miss these reviews more than anything. No more reviews of cars burning actual fuel. No more reviews of cars with actual engines. No more quips about such. Just electric skateboards with various forms of crossover/suv body shells. Kill me now, while I still remember what it was to row my own gears, while I still remember what it was to be a man.
Thank you for a great video
Note to self, get rich enough to be able to turn my cellphone off between calls. Also Zack has been funny as fcuk lately. 😂
Damn, that was a perfect review video. Reminds me of my favorite "ode to" segments from old TG.
I love my classic Bentley continental gt, 2005, its stunning. Not to say i wouldn't like a speed, but cant afford one yet... liked and subscribed. John.
Great video for a car that I'd never buy. Not that I could afford one anyway, but hey, you got a view and a comment from me. Edit: Just noticed your bumper image for OTR (19:18) has an offer good till May of '23, but this video went up August of '23. Might need to update that for future.

Love getting Matt's advertising interrupted by KZread's advertising. 😐
I had a 2013 w12 BGT and it was a great car. It definitely lacked a driver focused character and was more about slow roll cruising or mobbing down the highway but the low end torque of the w12 is somewhat of an unrated anonomly. There's something special about a car making insane torque at 1500 rpm. I can't wait for the new BGTs to come down a bit in price!
The Aeropress sponsorship is one of the best
Great review of an incredible car. Regarding the W12, what I am hearing Matt say is that the W12 is like a fine mechanical watch and the 8 is more like a fine quarts watch. Really no practical need to get the Rolex. Got it.
Loving the new format
48 volt active anti-roll bars keep the ride as flat as your employee's wages. Zack with the perfectly well placed zinger.
@14:15 well that also describes every Mercedes v12 in the last 20 years. You do it for the sound (which may be a wash w W12) and added smoothness.. also midrange and top end power

I love the idea of fast GT cars, luxury, speed, style, what's not to love!?

I feel like this is the problem with anyone else that potentially might be buying one of these.
