@@harrington41 nothing to do with it. They choose to do only rwd. Makes the car lighter. But to get a less powerfull version of the bentley continental GT is just unfair.
someone from the Netherlands nothing to do with it? What you are saying would be valid in the dry but this video was shot in the wet.... where traction is limited and awd has a massive advantage. Take that away and the Bentley would of just been beaten more badly... the Bentley is bigger and heavier and won’t turn as well and is SLOWER. In the dry it wouldn’t of even been a race
@@harrington41 Good luck finding a McLaren GT with 4WD! Ha Ha Ha!! Vehicles are compared based on price, always. If the W12 Bentley cost the same as the McLaren GT....ha!

Most supercar companies have produced models that caught fire. I'm a Ferrari fan. And I remembered there were numerous cases where the 458 Italia caught fire. Ferrari had to make a recall to address the problem.
I'd take the Bentley any day (if I could afford). You just need to do a quick Google to know that all Mclarens are plagued with issues and spend more time in the garage than the owner's drive.
TriHard Cx lol no it wouldn’t dumbass. This continental only had 540hp v8 compared to the 610 in the mclaren and it was only 0.2 seconds apart with one another. The w12 continental has 635hp with way more torque and has 4wd. It would destroy the mclaren.
@@ssd3748 dude the v8 is around 630 kilos heavier than the mclaren.. the W12 would be even heavier.. the only reason you saw the bentley ahead off the line is bcz its wet and it has awd.. if it was dry and u have someone with a good reaction at the steering wheel.. the mclaren would get ahead all the way.. even with the W12 version
@Amarjit Singh being driven in an Aston Martin is a constant reminder you could have bought a better car the Ferrari F12. Or if now a Ferrari its the Bentley then.
For an old man who has owned a lotus esprit and a Ferrari Testarossa. Who now lives with an occasionally driven first gen Bent GT. The GT is the best overall comprise. Just so damn complex and expensive to repair.
The mark of a true GT car is that it is comfortable and gives effortless speed over a long journey. whether you are cruising on a motorway or stuck in town traffic a GT car should always be a pleasant car to drive. That us what you should be judging this on, not a drag race.
mclaren is just a race car with a GT suit on. The bentley is a proper GT. The way it shot off the line shows just how much torque that engine in the bentley makes, whereas the mclaren needs to rev like crazy (which for a GT car is not a strong point) to deliver.
If I where to choose from the both of them, I think I'll just take the Mclaren 1. Looks way better then Bentley 2. Faster 3. Makes you look rich 4. Does not make you look old, unlike the Bentley
Love both cars, the old 570GT is still the one I wish I could afford. However, that Airbus Beluga in the background has them both licked. Mad, mad, mad.
Continental is more luxurious, better looking, more comfortable to be in and more than enough fast and agile for long road trips. It is also made by WV so it will not brake every few days like the McLaren.
If you enjoy a more focused drive experience it’s the McLaren , it’s a different take on a GT car. It’s aimed at a costumer who wants the feel feed back of a more focused driving experience, but doesn’t want the full on super experience, the Bentley is less driver focused experience, in terms of feed back etc it really depends what suits you more , there’s no wrong or write. Driven owned both cars, currently on a McLaren , which has been trouble free , just incredible to drive 👍
Wait, the mclaren GT is an actual GT? And the goal is to dethrone the cont GT? I thought " luxury supercar " would be a great term for the mclaren. If i would pick one of these for "GT reasons" i still would go for a cont GT or an Aston. Because ease and practicality is what you paid for a GT and mclaren lacks all of it. :V
The Mac was lined up on the slick tarmac join. In the real world bentley quicker off the lights in the wet however in the dry? What about a rolling start?
Closer than I thought, due to the wet conditions. Next, pair cars which are pretty close in power, weight, and purpose, such as Bentley vs Aston, or McLaren vs another supercar pretending to be a GT, like the MB AMG GT.
With dry conditions I don’t think it would be as close. The McLaren is just so much lighter. The weight of the Bentley I’d think actually help of the lie with its AWD.
You get the Bentley if you want a true gt car that has luxurious features like the Mercedes s class coupe or the bmw 8. however if you want a super car that is exotic and also comfortable for Daly drive, then you get the McLaren gt. Because let’s be honest, the Lamborghini or the koenigsegg aren’t daily drive cars, you can drive them here and there but use those things to drive to work every day and you’ll get fed up one day. Suspension is hard and cabin noise is loud. Imo the McLaren gt is my favorite supercar of all, because it has that exotic design but also that comfort that most super cars don’t have. McLaren does the best job in making supercars that are suitable for some daily usage, in which the gt excell the most
I sat in that Mclaren in one of their dealerships. It's not worth the price and it sits very awkwardly in their models range as it isn't a supercar nor does it compare with a proper GT. Doesn't have much space, seats seemed uncomfortable, nothing much going on in the interior. All it has is a decent engine. I'd get the Bentley or an S63 coupe with no second thoughts
I do love that Bentley! Especially with a w12, however that wouldn't have been as evenly matched I guess... McLaren really should have paid that few extra quid for the steering wheel to match... aside from that it's a pretty machine.
Although the Bentley weighs as much as a yacht and it has fully functional for seats. 0 to 60 quicker. You have to rate the Bentley for that. By the way the speed limit is 70mph in UK lol . REALITY Bentley Continental GT. All the way
For performance McLaren is the king, sound is Lamborghini and luxury is of course Bentley because it mixes modern with archaic something that rolls Royce doesn't.
Are we actually pretending that the McLaren is a GT car? Just look at it
Look at a GT Porsche
Reverse to drive... it will be a real front engine GT😂
Yes it has 2 REAL Rear seats and a real car boot
@@panzerstein1701 what rear seats?! Since when?
Yeah man..... looks a lot like a wedge... and stuff

Put the W12 up there 👆 for the real GT test

@@TheTmat007 True, I also think they did it on purpose so when you are pulled over by a cop for speeding, you just mention your car was on fire.

I'm sorry, but the Mclaren is no GT. IDK why McLaren even built this car.
Brian Hendrickson ever seen how comfy it is and how much space it got compared to the other mclarens?
Uhhhmm yes it is
@@lacapone7159 ever seen how stiff the ride and how cramped the interior is compared to real GTs?

Im glad Rory found a good gig on youtube, he was always meant for youtube. This is quality content
Bentley every time, but take the W12, don't be a cheapskate.
Great to see you back on my screen Rory 👍

Hey friend, can you also do a Mclaren GT vs McLaren 570s?
I love to see Rory having fun.
I have both cars, but Bentley is w12, they are all amazing cars, all got their own very special parts.

Make more Drag Race videos Loved it 👍❤
We need more kind of these races! 😍😍😍😍
Race is not fair at all, rwd cars should not be launched on pavement seam on one side.

Hi m from south African n I'm your big fan so when are you getting your own channel I want to be the first to subscribe bra
Wasn’t that hard to predict that race!
Very fair. Do another one with a prius vs a mclaren
You should do drag race, rolling race and brake test in a single video that would be more fun
Ysr 12: whisper it quietly. I think Mat Watson and CarWow have already got that one pretty well nailed.....
If I where to choose from the both of them, I think I'll just take the Mclaren
1. Looks way better then Bentley
2. Faster
3. Makes you look rich
4. Does not make you look old, unlike the Bentley
No surprise. Which one would I use to travel distance in?.... obviously, the Bentley. Thanks for the video.
You need to do more of these short drag races!!
Well in all other countries the asphalt is dry. The gap should be bigger.
Excellent video, 0 to 100kph and quarter mile are important to me
Love both cars, the old 570GT is still the one I wish I could afford.
However, that Airbus Beluga in the background has them both licked. Mad, mad, mad.
Okay the man is here to stay. Ive subscribed
As Khan mentioned, let see who comes out better with the W12 bentley.
How much speed/power do you need considering the extreme penalties for speeding. Luxury though. You can't have enough luxury. Bentley for me.
Continental is more luxurious, better looking, more comfortable to be in and more than enough fast and agile for long road trips.
It is also made by WV so it will not brake every few days like the McLaren.
Love the comparison. Try that here in the United States, and the finish line will be jail. LOL!!!

What about the rolling race and the brake test? Did you guys skip it?
My experience from Carwow, McLaren probably has one of the worst lunches after BMW, but it has amazing acceleration
I believe the road was slippery 'n that's why McLaren shows modest start, while Bentley depends on the 4-wheel drive that shows the difference !

it is looking clear even by the spec sheet that mclaren will win, carwow drag races are much more fun to watch
2.35 when he said rapid, notice the rapid behind the scenes. 😅😋
Makes me wonder how well the 2017 supersports would do in drag races... there aren't any videos of it in races tho...
Comparing the interior of Bentley and McLaren like day and night. Continental GT is far superior, for luxury.
Real world, that Big B would spank him but on a stretch, the McLaren will walk the big daddy B down. Love them both!👌🏾

there was something off about the start.... one of the cars was ahead of the other... and they were using camera angles to hide it...
McLarens can’t be beat. I don’t care what McLaren it is. They always come out on top if it’s equal competition.
If your doing 0-60 in a McLaren in 4.2 seconds your doing a lot of things wrong 😂
you get for the price of the v8 mclaren the w12 from BENTLEY which is just perfect
At the traffic lights the guy in the Bentley would wave 'bye bye'!
You should have used the w12 Continental gt. It has similar power to the McLaren and similar price
These races should be best of three, and driver's should be switched each time coz in the end its not the machine its the man behind the wheel
I thought gt stood for grand tourer the maclaren doesn't look very touring to me even though it does look amazing
Id take an m8 comp
Is this the carwow drag strip?
Should do more of these races
Continental GT V8 is pretty quick with 542HP
0:48 didn't sound like launch control was used
Bentley is more luxurious and fast who compares when you've got the best
Dry day maybe??
Great drag race!
I do love that Bentley! Especially with a w12, however that wouldn't have been as evenly matched I guess...
McLaren really should have paid that few extra quid for the steering wheel to match... aside from that it's a pretty machine.

Nice slowmotions and stuff but I think it would be interesting to tell us the exact weight and power of the vehicles :) thanks

Any McLaren is a problem except if u have 918. Lol
Why didn't they use the 626hp W12 version????????
Nice but I just wish that Mclaren 765 lt has the same interior as Mclaren GT
McLaren has 634 kg less weight and is 70 hp more powerful. The outcome was so unpredictable...
The McLaren is faster
The Bentley is BETTER
Case closed
I wonder what would happen if we raced a McLaren against a bentley, said nobody ever.
Bentley 4wd will launch faster but McClaren will end the race in the end because lighter and sharper than Bentley
Not bad for V8 rather than the W12

McLaren GT vs Bentley GT3 R is a better battle IMHO... 🤔😆
Idk why i was expecting matt Watson
Who else knew the McLaren was going to eat that Bentley a$$ for breakfast.
Would've been more fair with 626 PS Bentley Continental W12
Why is it not as entertaining as carwow?
