One of the fastest SUVs on the planet against one of the fastest four-seat models. Which of these Bentleys will come out victorious?
At first glance they may seem like two completely different models, but despite all the differences, we can say that it is more what unites them than what separates them – yes, we are talking about performance.On one side we have the Bentley Continental GT V8, the British brand's grand tourer equipped with a 4.0 liter turbo engine with 507 hp. On the other, the Bentayga with a 6.0 liter bi-turbo W12 engine, capable of developing 600 hp. If in terms of power the advantage leans to the SUV, in the balance it is the Continental GT who comes out favored, but for only 145 kg. And of course, at the speeds practiced, the always important chapter of aerodynamic resistance clearly leans in favor of the coupé.
NOT TO BE MISSED: Volkswagen Golf. The main new features of the 7.5 generation
