I fully admit the Bentley is amazing but I drove an S63 coupe for the first time and was blown away. I'm a valet at a nice restaurant that regularly has bentleys, rolls royces, and all the other luxury brands but the S63 coupe was one of the only cars ever that just left me stunned after driving it. Incredibly beautiful and smooth while retaining an element of subtleness. The dream GT for me!
noafproductions, impossible to judge a GT as a valet.
you must have drove for all of 2 minutes while you shuffled it around the yard. ^_^
M R More impossible to judge without driving whatsoever right?
Lol how far were you driving it?
A word of a valet 😅
I’d choose the S63 over basically anything because of the sound. The AMG 4.0 V8 has the best exhaust note on the market in my opinion
YOU would never hear it though.......did you miss the bit about the excellent sound insulation?
@@mlh4711
of course you'd hear it man, it 's an AMG... you clearly haven't driven a car like that, the 2018 S63 coupé is insanely loud
you cant afford either one lol
@@shengcheng7562 lol who the f are u
laughs in LC500
It's the Bentley for me. Now where did I put that lottery ticket?
I bought some ticket's today, hoping to get lucky 🍀
@@astin3078. Good luck.

Great one

S63. Possibly the most beautiful car in the world to me. It’s more a luxury GT so cars like the AMG GT can carry the sports car mantle for the brand and I’m good with that. And the Conti costs more
The Bentley is more luxury than the Mercedes but they are both love cars aiming at a slightly different buyer.
5:32 - 5:42 WATCH THE SEAT! IDK I noticed that but that's amazing. It's like the seat is breathing to keep you bolstered in.
Active seats with inflatable air chambers in the seat backrest and cushion :)
I dont see anything. What do u mean?? 😰
derderjedenabonniert the bolsters inflate when you turn to keep you centered. You can see it puff up when he turns right.
It's ALIVE!!!
derderjedenabonniert watch where his top shoulder and top back and the seat meet, now follow the top of his back to the bottom of his back, watch the seat inflate and deflate. Very nice.
Here in the USA our S63 Coupe is all-wheel drive - I wonder if that would have altered the results due to its superior acceleration and road-holding ability. Both vehicles are exceptional.
The AMG S65 does 0-60 in 4.2 seconds, not the S63, which does it in 3.5 seconds (the all-wheel drive model, which is not available in the UK)
It’s the s class for me.
4matic
And we don't care.
Me too
@@endjexejac why did you comment then😅😅😅😅😅
@@bar-sabas4801 cuz it's not against the law lol, chill
As much as i love a Mercedes it would be the Bentley for me
The Bentley for me, it is absolutely gorgeous.
S63 for me and it is the last coupe S Class, so gonna be a legendary car
I’m a huge MB fan and that coupe is beautiful! But the Bentley is the way to go at this price point. It has that special something.
Yo bro i knoe that you write this comnent from a long time its on the s63 and the bentley video but u should say that the qeen s ckass win it☺❤❤
it has nothing, i have both and s-63 coupe is so much more fun and joy to ride vs bentley. bentley is made by idiots, who think that the look is everything. No its all about how u feel driving car.
Even 911 turbo s doesnt come closer to s-63 by far, i have 911 also, and so i have new g63))))))) So i know what i talk about, except u, tuberslosers....
@@heikimagi7687 liar
The Mercedes for me, every time. The Merc is more beautiful, doesn’t look as heavy and brooding like the Bentley, the cabin is luxurious but also completely functional as opposed to the Bentley’s which looks like an old English mansion’s study. The Mercedes also wins on the technology, the latest driver aid systems help you on long drives. This is a comparison of the two wheel drive Mercedes with the 4 wheel drive Bentley. I think the tactile feeling of the Mercedes in 4 wheel drive versions would have been a better comparison.
Bentley, every time!
Love them both but the S 63 Coupe has always been my favorite
While I adore the AMG, I think I'd have to try find the extra £17k for the Bentley instead, and convince myself I'll save it back from the 'slightly' lower depreciation of the Bentley over the Merc.
If you’re worried about a 17k premium, then you clearlyy shouldn’t be in the market for these cars in the first place
@@KINGKING10109 Yolo dude. Rich or not, own the car if you can.
lol it's the opposite the bentley depriciated more than the s class
Any video with a S63 coupe, is a good video and gets a like before viewing. Best car produced.
It's the benz for me. Less ostentatious, more dealership service available, and less expensive. Luxury with a low key wow, and more practical.
Your reviews are excellent. Keep up the good work.
That S63 driving seat looks so comfortable....btw very sharp & to the point review ....also thanks for doing the comparison between S63 Vs continental ....I have always wanted to know which one is better.
I have lusted after the Bentley Continental GT ever since it was introduced in 2017/2018. This comparison only reinforced my positive impressions of the car.
The Bentley interior is second to none. I couldn't think of a better place to sit for a long drive. The merc is nice but the Bentley is better.
S63 all day
Wow! Both great cars! Wonderful idea to compare them in a video. Kudos to you Mate!!
An excellent presentation to both cars. I could not see your preferences while comparing each car, only at the end did you give your hornist answer. Nicely produced video.
Simple old school review.. Right to the point and well presented. Reviews can be enjoyable without ridiculous camera shots or sideways hooliganism.
Good review, thank you. You discussed the 'sublimity' of the Merc and I really didn't think the Bentley would 'nose' the test. And if I were in the market - I'd have headed to Mercedes for a test drive! But I respect the way you 'discovered' another dimension to the test that was outside the scope of the GT focus. Well done!
Any videos on your Alpine Dan?
Good review, love the way you deliver the conclusion at the end. While most dither before a long ranking ramble, saying ‘Which is better? It’s the Bentley’ is so refreshing.
Mercedes for me
Bently...
Most beauty enterior ever
Hey I can see the side bolster doing its thing in the corners.
I’ve owned a bunch of Bentleys and just turned one in....cost of maintenance on a Bentley compared to a Mercedes Benz is one more consideration. Bentley charges a fortune for almost everything!
I have a S63 now and love it. New #G63 coming in Dec....so I love the AMGs! #amg #bentley
S63 hands down!!!
Personally think a more comfortable ride is more important in a gt car than sporty driving dynamics. So for that the Mercedes seems better.
I wonder what Mercedes will do next when they update the car. The interior is mega but C classes, E classes are similar enough when they shouldn't be
Mercedes makes A classes and C classes (nothing wrong with that) but it dilutes the brand. The Bentley is exclusive so its the 1 for me
They sell a lot of C class cars but if they just put a few thousand extra into the build it would make all the difference.
my best head to head video bcz these two cars are my fav
It’s the Benz 4 me! It’s iconic
An odd road to choose for the stated purpose; on the information presented it's probably the right conclusion but the review does beg the question - would that slightly less absorptive suspension prove a little wearying by the time one arrived in Trieste (or even Aberdeen)?
Best car journalist in the world full stop. No B.S no fluff you pitch it so your audience engages on exactly how the car drives and moves. Handy Driver's would fully understand.! Dan you need your own channel buddy 👊
Which glove box holds the most Brown Envelopes.
The "background music" can get a little too loud. Almost surpassing the vocal audio. Great video however.
Would loved to hear about the stereos in each. GT, long drives...the stereo matters. Maybe they didnt have the upper tier stereo in each car.
Bentley offers the Naim designed system that is reputed to offer the best fidelity of any production system ever placed in any car ever....period. Look up Conti GT reviews with the Naim system and you will here rave reviews. It is an expensive option of course. :)
I have a 2017 s63 coupe and it is equipped with the Burmester high end 3D surround sound system. I've never enjoyed a sound system like the one in my s63 before.
The Benz without question !!
Looking for a used one of either of these.S63 is half the price of same year Bentley but not half the car…
Less showy exteriorly as a daily to park and leave.
After all what are these for in a coronavirus (covid-19) pandemic?
The rear drive S63 has ABC active hydraulic suspension
After driving an S class the seats weren’t very comfy so my money would be on Bentley. Plus the Bentley looks more modern now. The Merc looks a bit dated.
Hank The Tank same... I had driven a s63 coupe and it was nice but was stuck in Merc dealers for 6 months problems after problems
mohammad ali sadly that’s almost all modern Mercedes for you but especially the expensive ones. Over complicated.
@@mercmush My family owns a S500L bought in 2014, have been driving it since then. We have only gotten one malfunction in all these years, which was trunk latch failure. And myself now drives an 2019 AMG C63 Coupe. 5000+ miles in about 3 months, haven't had any issue at all.
Hank The Tank wtf? Sure you seat in a seat of a s-class? My uncle has a S500 and the seats are for me like Wellness seats. I drove many cars but the s-class is far the most comfortable. But that’s you’re opinion 👍🏻
Der Schutzsargent 5 Mercedes are very very low quality. Even Bmw and Audi have much better build
It's tight but it'd be the S Coupe for me. That has to be one of the best looking cars designed in the previous decade.
The merc is subtle and that is where my money would go.
Perfect comparison
Whoa, you missed out the DB11 AMR, which would have made a superb triple test, and possibly won.
Whats the best for a wet tight bendy road then?
The inclement weather to deal with again but a good thorough review which results in the Bentley getting the nod for me!
Dan Prosser, Mercedes offer the S63 with 4matic option in europe, that is not available in UK spec. I have owned a CL55 for 12 years and love it with a passion but the lack of four wheel drive has always been a drawback with the power at hand.
A more representative road test would be; S63 with 4matic vs Continental GT V8 especially on wet Welsh roads?
I like to know Price of S63 amg coupe V8 model 2018 ?brand new in UK.
A fair comparison on driving impressions would be against the s63s 4matic,don't u think
S560 and S63 coupe AWD only or is that a US thing only? S65 is 2wd only.
Both cars are great but if I decided for the Conti GT I'd go for the W12 Great comparison review
What part/s if any of these cars can I buy for £400?
I’ll tell you which one does it better.. the M8 competition plus it’s way less expensive.
S63 is beautiful!
I don't like the look of the Continental tho, the lights just don't do it for me
And isn't there quite a price difference between the two?
@@ajax5197 I don't think the kind of person valuing to buy a Bentley wastes time thinking about if a car (or a fancy extra) costs a bit more. Is probably more absorted chosing about which one of the 12 or so tones of white fits the best with the rim/leather/wood which wants for his unit.
I think your 0-60 times are a bit off on the S63... multiple sources list it as 3.0 seconds. 4 seconds would be considered slow for this car!
what is the color of s63amg ?
I stick with the all mighty Merc
It's hard to enjoy car tests in the UK because it's always raining and it kind of puts the car without AWD at a disadvantage.
Good, unbiased review! Going for the Merc 😍👍
Thank you! I decided what I will acquire.
You can't go wrong either way. Exceptional vehicles.
well you should have taken the w12 continental gt to compare it
I'm a Benz guy but I'm wondering Where's the DBS Superleggera I would take that over both of these.
The Superleggera utilizes Mercedes electronics that are two generations old. I get that it looks like what every 12 year old kid dreams of, but the S63 is a demonstrably more advanced car.
No mention of the AMG Sorts + Driving mode ????
S63 AMG is always better. Continental gt is also good. But not nearly as good as S63 AMG. I have driven both these cars. I felt that Continental gt has a stiff suspension which I didn't like. People say the throttle response is better with continental gt. But it has a slight body roll especially during cornering. S63 AMG glides over and we don't feel any discomfort. If comfort is your priority, go for s63 amg. Otherwise continental gt.
Good review. And its definitely the Bentley for me ......if only
If I win the big one tonight it'll be the Bentley for me but a Mercedes GLC63S for trips to IKEA.
The Bentley is just gorgeous....love your reviews
German energy here love it
The S63 coupe looks like its siblings the C class and E class, nothing looks like that bentley. Love that car
Bentley, please. Magic car. Mercedes is certainly very good too, but is a common car on the road. You see one on every corner (brand wise speaking), but Bentley is a very classy rarity. When you see one on the road, that is a memorable event.
I currently own the S63 and thinking of replacing to the new Bentley GT. Thanks for a great review
does your s63 jerk in gear 1~2?
@@jjoomusicno, it starts from gear 2!
Calvin harris doing good reviews here 🤙🏼
LOL...
Great video. The Benz cabin is really nice but the Bentley is better to look at 🙂.
How about the lc500 from lexus it's a great gt or the bmw m8 coupe
Both nice cars just not up to the standard of the Bentley.
Testing the cars on a Twisty Wet road Only and deciding the AWD Bentley is the Better car is Biased😥...a bit VAR-ish😆... a mixture of roads will be required to verify the results
The V8 bentley comes with 2 suspension options, which one is this? 1. Normal 2. Bentley Dynamic Ride system
I love both, but then I'd be late for everything trying to decide which one to drive every morning...tough decision.
I have the s63 all wheels drive and drive better the the rear wheel drive . Comparison not comple. Nice video though. Thanks.
U should compare amg gt63 s with continental gt
Isn't the S63 AWD only? It is in North America. The S65 is RWD.
I would have both an S63 4matic cabrio (USA specs) and Bentley v8 coupe
Benz for me . Nothing beats a Benz in this luxury category .
Easy, Bentley is far and away the winner for me, now just need to fund the purchase how the hell am I going to do that.
Nahhh i love a bentley butt the s63 cabriolet in the right spec is a killa😍
same thing as a s550 tho
i'd take the merc bc it just looks more liveable day to day. The Bentley is a beast for sure, but you would get too much attention for a daily, which can be annoying.
Why in UK a GT car has to have 2 doors?
My two favourite brands just add a DBS to the list 😍😍😍😍
I would prefer s coupe since it’s my favorite car.
I like the minimalist light colored interior and well… it just looks better from the outside in my opinion.
In general, I like German cars the most. Subtle but classy. It doesn’t scream “look at me” but when you do… you will be pleasantly surprised.
Sadly they don’t make s coupe any more
I'll buy one soon....
Id like an used 2017 Bentley Continental GT V8 S Convertible Mülliner.
I would own both if I had the money, also the BMW M8 competition
