Can we hit 200mph, roof down in a Bentley? By autocar.co.uk

[jc4civic]

At 120 I'm shaking...

[Xquu15]

If u would have driven the car alone like the ones who are testing it you would have reached over 200 mph EZ

[W4TCH4W]

200 mph = Crashing 2 bugs per second

Look at all those bug juices on the window XD

[lefeudebout]

@ MTftr.. or leave the cameraman behind and drive solo?

[saletrans123]

what is that noise comming from wind with roof up? isnt that bently? i wouldnt pay that much for a car that holds wind noise like a car from 60

[derbigpr500]

@saletrans123 Dont be stupid... there's a mic outside probably or close to the roof seal. This is one of the quietest cars you can buy today.

[Siver0944]

sounds like a veyron...

[BASTILEON]

lol look at his ears XDDDD

[cueballzero]

I followed one of these down an autobahn recently and boy do they shift past 150mph, left me for dead as i hit my limited 155mph...

[Chrispolowater]

197mph with the roof up or down is still pretty fucking amazing.

[edoko123]

he should of taken the top down at 203.....

[marguello1220]

the porsche carrera gt is convertable it goes over 200 mph which is faster than the bentley

[B70Valkyrie]

@marguello1220 the Carrera GT is a targa top not a convertible and will hit 205mph

[moondog203]

Why is it cheating? It has a roof just like it has doors. Have you tried doing 200 with the doors open?

[kbj42016]

Thumbs up for blowing his ears off @197 Top Down!

[wordreet]

Disappointing really, as the Saloon version easily exceeded 200 with 4 people inside. I guess I'll have to keep my Golf 1.6 a little longer.

[OndrejHron]

scrape that windscreen and send all those bees in africa, at least something to eat..

[mjcuracao]

Why Prove something that is clearly Stupid! That is why it HAS a Roof! It is a Great Car. Would you ask a Jet Pilot to Fly with Cockpit Windows open? No, Plain Stupid! But still a Great Jet! The Camera man probably left some stains behind, hahhaa! To hold the Steering Wheel is one thing, to hold a camera in a Convertible at 200 MPH is another!! Then AGAIN? Why drive a Convertible at 200 MPH? To PROVE? It is LOUD and UNCOMFORTABLE? Obvious is that the Car has enough Power! Nothing to do?

[lazyinaz91]

does this not scare the camera man that the guy is reading off the speed while driving that fast?

[moondog203]

Try Ehra-Lessien

[Domman56]

Brabus CLK convertitble will also do 200+ with the top down and it's a 4 seater convertible

[mjcuracao]

@Domman56 Why Reply? Top Down 200+? If I would own a Mercedes, Bentley, Aston Martin, Mercedes or BMW Convertible, I would not drive 200 MpH with the Top Down!!! SO WHAT IS THE POINT? The Car Drives Perfect! The only thing? Put your Head Phones on! Wow! I am so UNSATISFIED with my CONVERTIBLE! It makes a LOT of NOISE when I drive at 200 mph! Why? Uhmmm, mmm???? Aahhhuuuhhhhmmm? Oh, because you did not close the roof! The Roof???? Yes it Drives so much better when you close it! Huh??

[LemonzOrg]

american car would have exploted at 100mph :D:D:D

[PhantomHaas]

@LemonzOrg Lol really?? Your a fuckin idiot and learn how to spell

[Jesse22H]

@LemonzOrg your a fucking dumb ass, and you can't spell for shit.

[mjcuracao]

@Jesse22 Jesse, Your words quote: "and you can't spell for shit"??? Can't spell? For Shit? Wow?! Please try to explain your problem? Because it seems you have more than one. You are CLEARLY, NOT THE DUMBEST of ALL! CLEARLY! Be Yourself, Honest, Direct and Respectful. What actually is Better?, perfect is a word yet to be invented! You are smarter! Only the weak and inexperienced scream! M.

[Jesse22H]

@mjcuracao Why are you capitalizing every other word? you sound like an idiot, stop trying to preach on the internet.

[mjcuracao]

@LemonzOrg Where are you from? It is "EXPLODED" not, quote "EXPLOTE"? Miles Per Hour? KM times 1,6 So 100 M/ph is actually 160 Klm/pH. "EXPLOTE" yourself? I love many Cars! Not per se People or Countries that Produce and Make them! Politely I return to normal language, as I please! There are many ways of Power and Going Fast. I Love the Diversity, Real Competition. What You Fight over is Actually TASTE! Not Power, Not Money, Just TASTE! What YOU Like and Love to Have and Buy! Take Care

[ben63ng]

this would be useful if America had an Audobahn!!

[mjcuracao]

@ben63ng I was Born in the Netherlands, left some comments above. Family left, when I whas 3 months Old. When visiting and later lived in Europe with my Family, traveled the German AutoBahn, and many others. So Fast, the white lines on the middle of the road, would almost seem to slide in to slow motion! America? People like Freedom! Freedom is America? America is Freedom? ???? We are still free! And feel so much more free! You Americans tell us to be like YOU? Why? Rude to Enforce!

[omega3litre]

you boring sounding GIMP

[mmyculm54]

Was this driver even wearing a seatbelt ?

[timberwolftrid]

from about 3.30 onwards: the Apocalypse of Insects.

those huge smears were being made by tiny European flies, imagine the damage that could be done with that car...

hey, Bentley; test potential owners' driving skill at time of purchase!

[lebking19]

the passenger made it the car heavier

[ASSHOLELA]

what about ehra lessein? its not round, its faster.cant autocar get perimission from vw? like topgear?

[fhhs05]

he caught alota of bird shit on the windshield

[richardxx9011]

@fhhs05 Umm.. that would be dead bugs...

[EccentricRichard]

First, how did the top not just rip off way before it got to 200? Most convertibles can't be taken near their top speed with the roof up... Also, given that it did 204, I wonder what the more aerodynamic (and 200kg lighter) coupé will do? Still waiting for the first proper all-new Continental circa 2013-14, all-aluminium...

[EccentricRichard]

Nardo, the only place in Europe where you could max this? What about Ehra-Lessien?

[Trystelune]

@EccentricRichard what is ehra-lessien, i've never heard about that ?

[EccentricRichard]

@Trystelune - it's VW's test-track in a military no-fly zone in the old Soviet East Germany. It's one of very few places in the world where you can max a Veyron (even the 1200bhp Supersports).

[alexrowland]

@EccentricRichard Maybe he meant the only place the common person man max a car. You need super special permission to even get within the compound known as Ehra-Lessien. If you're not a celebrity, I doubt the average person would be able to drive there.

[10Slayer01]

200 mph is at 4:08

[laxdude761]

fly dumbo! fly!

[buckfever32123]

R.I.P. poor little bugs that splattered on the windshield. lol

[turfguy87]

top down but windows UP doesn't count.

200 mph with a cameraman & NO helmets? brilliant, guys.... (not that it would matter at top speed)

[k24boy123]

his ears created too much drag

[Jake45499]

at 2:40 look at his ears

[hurleyjc]

imagine gettin passed by a fat douche in a baby blue bentley goin 197 mph with the top down and his ears a flappin!! id shit myself lol

[jb2zero0six5]

@hurleyjc HAHAHAHA

[mercman58]

His ears held it to 197!!!

[eminzide]

Look at the windsceen....

[Gondee]

Well, if he were alone in the car, without a passenger, then perhaps it would have been possiable

[davervr6]

this presenter is a fat tool.

[pfog]

wind noise at 2 bills? no...really?

[D1andonlycritic]

too much wind noise that too in a bentley - what a shit car

[Cybergig00]

Pagani Zonda F Roadster....

[mikldude]

thats pretty impressive , on a cooler day it probably would have done the 200 with the top down.

[stephenswickedcool]

My uncle bought shares off google right before they sky rocketed, this was the first thing he bought with his new wealth

[scottwebb]

Well done sir

[corvetteracer916]

He should be wearing a helmet

[250honda]

Youtube can suck my fucking dick. Hmm lets post a fucking video...and make it load 1sec for every minute you wait for the motherfucker to load. HIGH SPEED INTERNET? bull fucking shit. lets charge people alot of fucking money for some shit thats gonna make them blow their fucking heads off. FUCK YOUTUBE.

[chuckaloz]

@250honda you must have shit connection

[highlightenment]

Well, 204mph there. He could have simply activated the top then! Genius!

[tannerdp]

who cares if you can go 200 mph

its a bentley

[newland1990]

you dont deserve to drive this car.... lose some weight.... thats why you couldnt reach top speed

[jenvasily]

1000 moskitos muertos n l rodaje de este video

[chuckaloz]

@jenvasily what happenend with 1000 mosquitos it sound intense but i dont know what you sayaing

[jenvasily]

@chuckaloz it's a joke about the speed of the car and the probably dead mosquitos.

Please forgive my poor English

[engared]

I dunno, but its something about Bentleys which make me hate them. OH! I know! Its the arrogance their drivers emit whenever i see one!

[phinboys]

why would u take ur hands off the wheel

[c8h3p]

i thought the best race track was in Germany where they tested the veron?

[khunopie]

SPOILER ALERT

.

.

.

.

Yes

[zekzakkk]

nice car

[ZALGO333X2]

2:14 NOT WEARING A SAFETY RESTRAINT

[1MR4N360]

@ZALGO333X2 Yes is is retard it comes down from his left...

[irreligious80]

@ZALGO333X2

Kinda pointless... speed=close to 200mph, no roof, banked road. Something happens=death

[ZALGO333X2]

He's lucky there wasn't any wind shear, he could have been sucked out of that car faster than Democrats suck Obamas cawk.

[ZALGO333X2]

He's lucky there wasn't any wind shear, he could have been sucked out of that car faster than Democrats suck Obamas cawk.

[ZALGO333X2]

He's lucky there wasn't any wind shear, he could have been sucked out of that car faster than Democrats suck Obamas cawk.

[rcplanetim53]

nicely done..

[blzbug242]

if your going to go that GOD DAMN fast with the roof down, then wear a fucking helmet!

[IRONSEAN7]

thats loud at 200,,, ive done 185 on a bike with a full faced helmet and it was F-in loud... i bet that bentley rides smooth at 2 bills

[jcadlols]

Try put the roof up at 197mph. lol

[agello24]

its a banked track. he did hit 200 on a banked track,

[T0GGAFREGGIN]

stay on it=less weight in gass

clean the bugs off

no camera man

no heavy set driver

[TheBob0416]

bugs are all over the window!

[SuperLC1010]

Haha 190+ with the top down.

[NattapatZ]

lose the cameraman :)

[MTftr]

lose 10 pounds and give it another go

[sultaraco]

197 mph is impressive!Add 5 psi of air to all tires and I can guarantee 200mph.

[sickenedsoul123]

bug killer

[locsta36]

@wikichris yes in theory it could but highly unlikely one would have the aerodynamics to equal less power and more weight. but it is still possible

[rockinredneck57]

You're all worng. It's his ears flapping in the breeze keeping it under 200. If he taped his ears flat, it would go 200 with the top down!

[locsta36]

lighter car= greater acceleration and greater top speed.

[wikichris]

Mostly true but a heavier car with less power with better aerodynamics could in theory triumph.

[pklisz]

@locsta36 its more about aerodynamics than weight, thats why they had to but that key in the bugatti to lower the car down 4 inches otherwise it would have only gone 242 mph

[locsta36]

my god at least mabye search the internet for answers people before you post and make a fool of yourself like madgamsterpr here, ahahahahahaha

[ispeaktruth100]

I wonder how bird shit feels at 200MPH????

[xXWeltchXx]

lmfao i wana know to if only they shit on the car wen the top was down:P

[sirlonghair]

@ispeaktruth100 I hit a beatel on an Honda interseptor 500 at 150MPH it inbedded itselfe under the skin felt like being shot with a BBgun My brother hit a raven at 75 it almost took him off the bike toes on the handelbar pulled himself up

[ariell92]

@ispeaktruth100 i rofled

[locsta36]

if he lost 40 pounds or in my country 20 kg or something like that he would hit 200 with the roof down

[madhamsterpr]

Weight is for acceleration not top speed. Top speed = power + aerodynamics

[locsta36]

umm are you are dumbarse of something...the lighter in a car the faster it odes affect top speed....if i put a 200kg dumbell in the car it would go slower then if it didnt have 1....the people these days who know nothing!!!

[madhamsterpr]

@locsta36 No u are the "dumbarse" dumbass, It will be harder to reach top speed but the lighter the car the more acceleration it has.

[locsta36]

@madhamsterpr so your telling me that if he weighed 200 kg more he would go faster its not down hill u dipshit... without him in the car they would reach that speed because the engine does not have to work as hard to pull that extra 100kg probs even more. That means that the lighter mass will accelerate faster using the same force,i.e, same horsepower goes through the drivetrain the same for both. The little car will reach a higher top speed for any given time interval. Thats the short answer.

[hippievogelei]

the Merc Clk Dtm Amg Is the Fastest 4 Seater

[jwhitner]

Does that fucking idiot realize that he's not going straight but going around a curve?

[odracirseraoseia1999]

This presenter looks like the kind of guy whose wife dumped him for a younger man, doesn't he?

[OceanPotato]

the ferrari california is a 4 seater convertible is can reach 210 or 215 mph.

[PLEDGEY]

if they had polished his forehead he would have done it with the roof down.

[NoSurrender97]

maybe the video might be better if the guy didnt bust a nut in his pants everytime he went over 150

[tienhaam]

bug splats= lulz

[caccios]

c mon guys almost 336 kmh in a convertible?? is astonishing aniway!

[knaem]

@caccios its 316 with the roof down , yet still amazing

[caccios]

sorry man u re right!!!!!! my little mistake! :)

[boogloo]

lol @ the dead bugs.

[sickasso72]

That fast, no helmet, no cage= fuckin stupid

[pnasty007]

no fucking awsome

[powerwam]

@sickasso72 fuckin agreed

[qpc2010]

agreed

[Weaser07]

his ears are flaping lol.

[LInebacker998]

@Weaser07 i cant stop laughing . I just noticed.

[nickernosher]

haha, im pissing myself lol i say that too and droped my laptop and freaked the shit out of my dog lol i was laughing so hard lol

[GTPimp1]

Hmm. I bet if they got it going in a strait line instead of around a curve it would catch 200 with the roof down easily. And why did they go the opposite direction with the roof up?

[L33T847]

The banking at nardo means makes it an infinitively (almost) straight road

[RossEnzo]

i love that car

[scoobyfan2009]

should have threw ur hand up at 200....

[Z3RO0RD1E]

I think you should go 200mph, then put the roof down.

[mchlwngr]

itll rip the bitch off haha. but with the loss in weight it might make it haha.

[ricco1907]

if he opens the top canvas at 200 mph technically he will be at 200 mph with the top down, for a second :)

[justjacqueline2004]

Beautiful car.

[swaggerjacker7]

man that's gotta suk cleanin all those bloody bugs off your really expensive car everytime u go really fast in it. i never really thought about how bad it would be but his windshield had a ton of splats that suks.

[MrDemolitionman99]

crapiest cars in the world=british and american i'll take an audi or porsche over that pricey piece of crap anyday

[BigBadBadger1]

american yes but british wtf are you on yes rover/mg where bad and now gone but bentley range rover and so on are great+ bentley continental is made of mostly VW stuff!

[TheVietCong8]

They should have tried to put the roof down at 200 MPH.

[swaggerjacker7]

@TheVietCong8 lol XD

[renz586]

@TheVietCong8 LMAO

[addz91]

If it isn't a Porsche convertable then it's not worth having!!

[eviltoast765]

new buggatti veyron will convert to roofless now

[verdemanthe1]

my truck is way less stable at 65mph

[verdemanthe1]

a bug would be deadly at those speeds

[trancowy89]

OMG OMG OMFG!

[murcielagodog]

this is rediculously fast lol and he took his hands off the steering wheel!!! he doesnt care about life hahaha

[MarMPB]

Very nicee! But his ears almost flew off..ahah

[aaronbassist146]

omg 4:04... all the bird crap

[BlueNile123]

...surpassed Bentley's own 200 mph figure. Astounding!

[thirdmotion]

lol, look at all the bugs on windshield

[wahkao1990]

Smart eh they chose a nearly bald guy for this test!

[SSMATT08]

I love it..."Nice gentle 200mph" at 4:17

[BrundukasLT]

4:42

probably orgasms

[tokyocityrat]

OMG. Bentey is that fast!

[halloween518]

OMG you still following me??

[mattythemig]

I'm mightily impressed by the history lessons here. Particularly regarding WW2. However, Check out the Bentley Brooklands, It's British right down to it's engine. I know, I work for a British Company in Britain that supplies British components to Bentley in Britain. I'm sure you'll find lots of abusive words with which to reply to that but your inability to express yourself is your own problem.

[MrVietboi22]

this nigga need his window washed

[suckmybass]

Where on earth do you see a nigga here Mr Vietnamese (not black) boy?

[fadethetrade]

no seat belts?? What a douche bag

[halloween518]

Nice GERMAN car!!...Thats right the Germans own Bentley now, Not the Brits, GERMAN...GERMAN...GERMAN!!!

[doomie61]

they do, the continental is not a bentley its a VW and made in a factory, the proper bentleys eg, Arange range is hand-made master peace,

[KillerFreaks]

Ya but everything that is made for the Bentley is still British you dumb fuck.

[halloween518]

Why don't you dumb fucks make it in england instead of hitlers headquarters. Gee if it's made in germany it's english????...PS no i wont go to your profile to get a VIRUS/SPYWARE!!!

[KillerFreaks]

Man you really are stupid only the roof on the hard top and the engine are made in Germany, and who the fuck care's if you don't go to my profile I never ask you anyways you fucking retarded German loving fuck face.

[halloween518]

Hmmmm..Who said i love germans???...Not me. Besides GERMANS run that company, Not english. It's under GERMAN control, Sort of like france was in WW2...French at face value but GERMANY controled it. Hey the yanks never asked you limeys to sell out to those krauts, You homos did it on your own free will...ENJOY!!

[ishtiaq13]

impressive..

vigorous ear flapping ftw!

[Baruka88]

4:39 haha look at all the dead bugs on the windshield...

[weallfollowmanutd]

that is pretty impressive I must say, especially with the roof down.

[thehowl666]

this guy has balls to do that with the top down, no helmet, and what appeared to not be wearing even the seat belt. lol

[agello24]

dumb shits he is doing 160 mph. uk is on the km system. bentlys are too heavy to get past 165

[liquidized]

GT SPEED can hit 205

[tmartz56]

Look at the speed guage it says mph right on it

[pepene93]

yea...so if somebody in the US said theyre doing 100kmh on the interstate, ud say no way, they have to b doing 100mph, just cuz they live in the US? dumbass!

[604h22a]

those bugs dont stand a chance

[deltaninjas]

hes cheating, he has the windows up, what a fag

[john200715]

He cheating because he has the windows up? Are you dumb or stupid? Let's take all the aerodynamics of the car and throw them down the drain with a huge drag. You probably think the spoiler on your mid- '90's Civic is increasing your torque.

[Fr3tsOnFir3]

hahaha

[emmetm1]

at 200mph i doubt a seatbelt would do much.....

[pepene93]

well, it would still keep u in ur seat...now im pretty damn sure ud never survive, but ur die in whats left of a nice car, not in front of it.

[noodlebike]

@emmetm1 Probably just cut him in half LOL...!!! I think I would rather be thrown clear, at least you get to fly before you die...!!!
