this is how the ensh*tification of the internet begins (as if its not f*cked up already); the AI image thrown in by an intern at the last moment because they wanted to add some zest to the video but couldn't be bothered licensing or finding a good real world image or artwork to acheive it
Exactly, 100k for a blown straight six, hand built coachwork, with hidden modern features where you can (such as disc brakes and coil over suspension - doubt you could find appropriate looking skinny radial tyres), this would have petrolheads with nearly too much money auctioning off a kidney or a child to get their name on the list... but this is just a super rich kid's toy, and you'll *never* see one outside of a screen or magazine.
@@oldchap1228 exactly (at least from my POV), £100k for an electric single seater toy, for something that looks very special, but fails to meet expectations - like putting a fibreglass Ferrari body kit on a MR2
The race is in this month’s magazine. I’d love to have filmed the whole thing but it needs a huge crew to shoot a full race and sadly we didn’t have the time on this occasion. Hopefully this is better than nothing 👍🏻
It wouldn't surprise me if the Bentley Boys were well aware of the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch railway - it was conceived by two racing drivers. I'd say Henry Seagrave would approve of such frivilry
Bro it literally reminded me of the showcase event in Forza horizon 4 where we race in an Ariel nomad against the flying scotsmon train bro that was a great race
Wouldn't be a Top Gear UA-cam video without yobs complaining that the 'oLd tOP gEaR WoUlD'vE BeEn bEtTer'. Give it a rest already, different times, different content, different audience. Yes 10% could be OG faithfuls but the rest might actualy just want to enjoy it🙆🤷
@@RJSRdg yep, Top Gear pre 1999 was informative and covered all types of vehicles but was in comparison, and subjectively, tamed and had none of the flair/madness that the 3 musketeers were known for.
tbh, this race is exactly the sort of thing i could see james may doing on one of his shows. he loves miniature trains and cars lol. but it sucks that they didnt actually show the race tbf
Pretty much the same size as my 1932 Morris Minor Two-Seater but the 847cc side-valve engine produces 19bhp and can propel the little (9ft 8in) car to a max of 53mph (as clocked on GPS). I noticed the 'Bentley' is sitting on the same size Blockley tyres as the little Morris too.
A complete dissappointment this video. Claims it is a steam train vs a bentley blower. Not even a race just some cut shots of the train and the car togther.
I get excited every time a new video pops up but most often it's about some electric car. I'm starting to lose interest in the new top gear videos. When the bonnet opens and there is no engine it's quite disappointing. However the workmanship on this car is exquisite.
Good grief, the TG team (or what's left of it) have really lost it! One clown car after another and now a Bentley 4,5 litre SC turned into an electric toy?! Do everbody a favour and shut this travesty down, for good.
Oh Gosh this is a bigger waste of time than the video of Bentley speed six recreation , must be a lot of people with a lot money to waste !! Buy a proper old car - you know it makes sense .
What car would you like to see the Little Car Company make next?
TVR, Caterham, Morgan
@topgear You could of filmed an actual race not a trailer like race..
Hummer H1.
Thrust SSC.
Nothing electric
2:10
They used an AI image, they thought there were slick with that one 💀
IKR!😂

100 grand for a kids toy, or a 997.2 GT3. Make this world make sense, pls I beg 😭
if only it had a combustion engine that would've been worth it
You lost me at $100k electric pretend bentley
I just cannot see the value, only the cost

But its fucking electric

Don't get me wrong it's a god video but...Where's the actual race?
Doesn't seem to be one
@@JakeJowett-me8eg Seems a bit naff.. Why it's a race but it isn't

@ollie_kew Fair enough mate thanks for the response
@@Synchro-Mesh thanks for watching!
I love the original blower Bentley.... mostly because of it's engine, sound and size 🤣
It wouldn't surprise me if the Bentley Boys were well aware of the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch railway - it was conceived by two racing drivers.
I'd say Henry Seagrave would approve of such frivilry
Old top gear used a real full sized steam train
A Bentley like this wouldn’t stand a chance against tornado
@@caledonianrailway1233 Don't be so sure a true Blower Bentley would put a fight up
@@Synchro-Mesh I meant in a top gear challenge on roads with speed limits it would be very close if they could go flat out
Yes but that was also a full sized car! Miniature car needs to go against a shrunken train 😂
Before that clown McGuiness wasted that too!!!
Bro it literally reminded me of the showcase event in Forza horizon 4 where we race in an Ariel nomad against the flying scotsmon train bro that was a great race
External combustion>electric thing
Well, the fire is still inside a firebox...
I never thought I would see another challenge like this
I started to watch this, then I heard “ electric” The end.
I quite like it! I just wish it came with lap belts and not over the shoulder belts. They kind of detract from the car.
OK, as silly as it is, I think I want one.
Love this, what a wonderful take on a classic. How cool!
I left this video as soon as I came to know the car is electric!!!
So we don't actually see the race?
top gear cool car vs other form of transport is back let’s go

The irony is that the yobs who talk about "Old Top Gear" don't even mean Old Top Gear, they mean Willman's parody.
@@RJSRdg yep, Top Gear pre 1999 was informative and covered all types of vehicles but was in comparison, and subjectively, tamed and had none of the flair/madness that the 3 musketeers were known for.
The Real Top Gear would have used full sized Cars and Trains, how disappointing.
tbh, this race is exactly the sort of thing i could see james may doing on one of his shows. he loves miniature trains and cars lol. but it sucks that they didnt actually show the race tbf
The Real Top Gear didn't go in for stupid stunts and races...
£100k for a 85% sized Bentley Power - electric, ouch !!!!!
Think of it another way. 8% of the power of a Blower Continuation, for 6.7% of the cost
What's with using "The Rest is Politics" podcast theme tune?
Shame you didn't spend more time showing the race and the loco - but more like this please
tbh that Bentley is much beautiful design than the Bentleies of our modern days
Well this was tremendous. I wonder if it could be recreated at full size...
How can you possibly compare a Noddy car with a ‘30’s blower!
And £100k 🤣
honestly the train is far more interesting than the electric 'bentley'
3:43 - Somewhat spoilt by those two ugly posts holding the seatbelts up.
Agreed. I’m sure the owners won’t unbolt them as soon as they take delivery…
Didn't Clarksons, May, and Hammond already do something like this before?
Yes but with a real car and a motorbike not an EV repro
@@VT29steamtrain that's true, I miss the old top gear.
25hp?! Bah!

You lost me with the 1991 reg plates to
Brave ,last time the bbc let a presenter in and open top it cost them9 million
100k and no engine, no safety, no nothing..
10k to build 90k for the scam LOL
That is a bargain at 100k.
I think I saw this in a Forza game once
Electric? Blasphemy.
Don't mind the 15% size reduction though.
I wish James. Hammond and Clarkson did this...
I’ve some bad news for you: They left Top Gear NINE YEARS AGO!
Or… just get yerself an MGB 😁
Man i’ve thought i’ve got to terms with this new top gear anchorman’s, but nooo
Where's your period correct attire?... A leather cap and goggles are in order for this.
A complete dissappointment this video. Claims it is a steam train vs a bentley blower. Not even a race just some cut shots of the train and the car togther.
What is the point? It is a kids toy. If I was going to spend £100k on a Bentley it would be a real one.
Sadly misleading title. But 'Classic steam train vs EV repro' just wouldn't get the clicks.
disappointment. I wanted to see a race
Jeremy would have narrated it better…
Forza Horizon real life omg 😂
The blue train car wasn't a race car so whats the point?
Mr Wilman etc would never have approved this. Perhops Captain Slow but that's all.
AWESOME!!!!!

Do everbody a favour and shut this travesty down, for good.
Oh, so not a steam powered car...
Fake steam, fake race. Real clickbait.
@@cbotten106 - Very much a REAL steam engine.
No, watch the video. It recreates a race from the 1930s. The original Bentley wasn’t steam-powered either.
Can't they do it with a proper engine?
Great car , this one. But why in the name of all thats pure do they have to go and utterly ruin it by making it prohibitively expensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You lost me at the word electric
Who the hell is this guy?? Where's James ? Richard?? What happened?!?!! And what happened to Jeremy 😢..
Wow, you're rather far behind
100k and electric?
I might get into this badly

Thought this was an old top gear vid damn
"electric"
alright that's it. I've seen enough. Have a nice day .
Why would you 🤷♂️
£100k. Yeah ok boys. Go and purchase a proper car that can do proper things.
🔥Nice....

You don’t value your eyes much then?
Blasphemy
ugliest seatbelts ever designed
Idea stolen from the original awesome series. I am proud to say that since the original was canned I have not watched a single episode.
New top gear is a disappointment to all car lovers we miss the best trio in the world
Any ICE would've made this fun to watch, I'm curious who the hell buys this for 100k lol.
Could somebody tap me a hundred thousand? I want one!!
