Bentley Does Wild Drifting! – Video

With Travis Pastrana behind the wheel, Bentley signs the most spectacular film in its history and reveals the radical face of the new Supersports.

Bentley changes the game. With Supersports: FULL SEND, the British brand unveils the most dynamic film ever produced in its history, shot in the very heart of its Crewe manufacturing site. At the helm: Travis Pastrana, a global icon of motorsport and extreme stunts, tasked with pushing the limits of a model already legendary before its commercial launch.

The new Bentley Supersports lives up to its ambition with a fitting backdrop. On the historic Pyms Lane campus, the Supersports showcases an unprecedented side for the brand: precision drifting, donuts, long controlled slides, and gymkhana-style sequences. This exercise is made possible by a configuration resolutely focused on performance, with 666 hp delivered to the rear wheels only, a sharpened chassis, and aerodynamics specifically developed.

A Bentley shouldn’t do that?

For the filming needs, a Supersports has been adapted by the Crewe teams. Among the notable changes, the addition of a hydraulic handbrake—nicknamed “Mildred,” in reference to its internal project name—allows for instant locking of the rear axle. Software adjustments also enable power braking, allowing the car’s stance to be modulated during drifting or to perform both static and rolling burnouts. All this is done without ever betraying the Bentley DNA, as Pastrana himself points out, praising the rare balance between luxury, precision, and driving pleasure.

World premiered in Dubai before 400 guests, FULL SEND also showcases Bentley’s heritage. The film features numerous appearances of iconic models from the historic collection, from the legendary 1929 Blower to the Speed 8 victorious at Le Mans, alongside the Continental GT3 and the Hunaudières W16 concept. A spectacular visual dive into the past, present, and future, with a strong nod to the upcoming models from the brand.

Already fully reserved, the Bentley Supersports will be produced in only 500 units. The first deliveries are expected in early 2027. As for the car used in the film, it will join Bentley’s prestigious Heritage Collection, ultimate proof that FULL SEND marks a cultural as well as technological turning point for the Crewe firm.
