@neilwattoo Месяц назад

My dad had two V12 Benz when I was growing up (an S600 and a CL600). The S600 with the M120 was our fav - same engine put in Pagani Zonda. That car made me realize how special a V12 is. The top end speed, the smoothness, and they're quiet but sound so good. I remember him drag racing at stop lights... People were so impressed and all wanted to see what a V12 can do. Engine was a rocket ship. The CL was a stunner, it had the M137. Nice car but that turned out to be a lemon. Rest easy pops, I miss you ❤

@Veyronp87 Месяц назад

the bentley moves insane for how heavy it is. the M8 comp is a really underrated car as well - its really expensive but a cool car

@krane15 Месяц назад

Its not underrated. But it is designed to give you raw speed and brute force. The "competition" designation means its a bar bones car that removes most of the creature comforts the Bentley retains. Remember, the Bentley Speed is not a stripped down car.

@Freimopp777 Месяц назад

@@krane15M8 Competition has just a little more power and suspension updates, wheels, different trim and exhaust. There is no lack of luxury, not stripped down or something. Competition comes with an exclusive leather package as standard, which has to be ordered separately for a standard M8.

The M8C numbers on this two races were below its normal performance. The 11 seconds 1/4 mile is slow for a car that can repeatedly do 10.7-10.8. The same goes for the 0-60 numbers; but, it took both wins anyway.

The amount of luxury is no where near close man. I've been in Bentleys, driven an Audi S8, BMW 7 series and own a new S580. The Mercedes crushes the other 2 in luxury and even the Mercedes isn't as luxurious as the Bentley. Bentley and Rolls are entire brands devoted to the utmost luxury. The GTC is just their 2 seater version with some extra power, buddy just got one and it's great for what it is but you compare it to an M8. BMWs entire brand is about being a driving machine, always ready for a track. Almost opposite of the Bentley brand
