Travis Pastrana filmed Supersports: Full Send gymkhana video at Bentley Crewe factory with 657-hp rear-wheel-drive Supersports modified for driftingVideo includes Easter eggs: Speed 8 Le Mans car, Continental GT3, Hunaudieres W16 concept, upcoming electric SUV, 1920s classics, Speed Six Car ZeroModified Supersports features mechanical handbrake named Mildred after speed record holder Mildred Mary Petre, disabled gas-brake lockout for drift capability Travis Pastrana apparently decided that beating up old Subarus was getting tedious for his spine. So he swapped the Pleiades badge for a Flying B and headed to Crewe, England for some proper sideways nonsense. The drift video delivers the usual chaos, except this time Pastrana was considerably more comfortable thanks to his new ride from Bentley. Plush leather does wonders for your vertebrae when you're destroying tires. Yes, Bentley commissioned this madness. Even luxury manufacturers apparently can't resist the adolescent appeal of burnouts, high-speed slides, and general automotive stupidity. This isn't an official Gymkhana production like the Hoonigan crew typically delivers, but it's supremely entertaining regardless. Plus there are Easter eggs scattered throughout if you're paying attention between the tire smoke clouds. How luxurious Grab your monocle and buckle up. Pastrana pilots a Bentley Supersports, the stripped-down rear-wheel-drive luxury monster packing 657 horsepower. Usually he's bouncing around ratty Subaru interiors, not hand-stitched British cow hide. Bentley and Pastrana filmed this gymkhana-style video for the Supersports last fall. The rally driver and action sports lunatic brought his considerable talent to the UK, along with his ability to remain calm while sliding past a lineup of cars worth well over a million dollars. One mistake and you're explaining to insurance why you destroyed six-figure classics. The video carries the title Supersports: Full Send, which Bentley describes as the most exhilarating and dynamic film the company has ever released. Bentley isn't normally boring, especially since returning to motorsports and going W-engine mental under VW's thick-walleted ownership, but this represents a significant escalation. Completely beyond what typical Bentley customers expect from the brand. You'll want watching this multiple times because the spectacular drifts and door-smashing theatrics are only partial entertainment. The short film contains numerous Bentley details and Easter eggs worth spotting. The Speed 8 Le Mans car appears early, alongside a Continental GT3 racer. Look carefully and you'll spot the Bentley Hunaudieres, a concept from 2000 named after one of Bentley's early Le Mans victories. It packed an 8.0-liter W16 behind the driver and debuted in 1999, years before the Bugatti Veyron arrived with that engine. Bentley's upcoming urban electric SUV makes brief appearances, getting chased by two other Bentleys at one point. As Pastrana drifts around factory grounds, a parade of original 1920s Bentley models rolls past. One appears to be Speed Six Car Zero, the first of Bentley's 13 Speed Six Continuation Series cars built in 2023. Last year's EXP 15 concept hides on a rooftop. Other classics fly past, then there's an SUV under a cover revealing Bentley's electric SUV in paint for the first time. Not that we see much from this barely-there teaser, but it's something.
