This episode is all about the fastest-accelerating Grand-Turismos in the world!
There's a new Bentley Continental GT, and the Speed is the quickest version. With a huge battery, a big motor, a 4.0-liter V-8, and all-wheel drive, its acceleration belies its 5385-lb curb weight. In our testing, it accelerated to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds and through the quarter-mile in 10.6 seconds @ 130 mph. That's quicker to 60 mph than a Ferrari F8 Tributo, and the same through the 1/4 - this is a seriously fast living room.
The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 is a rebodied Mercedes SL, and it also has a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8. It makes just 577 hp but weighs 4245 lb - more than 1000 lb less than the Bentley. Now with 4Matic all-wheel drive, traction isn't much of an issue, and it hits 60 mph in just 2.7 seconds, right behind the monster Bentley. Ultimately its horsepower deficit becomes obvious after 100 mph, and it finishes last, but still crossing the 1/4-mile mark in 10.9 seconds @ 124 mph. That's blisteringly fast.
The 2025 McLaren GTS is an update on last year's GT, also with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8. This one, however, uses a flat-plane crankshaft and sends its 626 hp to the rear wheels only. With the engine in the middle of this carbon-tubbed supercar, traction is less of an issue than you'd think, and the mid-engined rocket explodes to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds. From there on, McLaren's most comfortable car shows off its light weight (3465 lb - or almost 2000 lb less than the Bentley) and rockets right past the other cars, finishing the 1/4-mile in 10.4 @ 134 mph.
That's just a tenth behind Cadillac's Le Mans car!
Watch the race - and its slow-motion replay for an explanation of how it all goes down. Including an uncharacteristically well-dressed Professional Idiot, Jason Cammisa, as our guide.

Best editing with the worst host
@@gtx332 he's great what's wrong
*Carwow drag races* :Bunch of cars going in a straight line full of boring commentary
*Jason Cammisa Ultimate Drag Race Replays* :Jokes, humor, amazing camera action, all the info you ever need in 5 secs, engine noises, the BEST
I wonder who will give us the koenigsegg vs Bugatti drag race first
Yeah, ikr? It’s a race between American and Britain, Jason and Matt.
Carwow is catered for viewers with low attention spans. They know their audience
Exactly, I don't usually care about drag races but still watch CUDR for the storytelling
British vs American humor. Pick your poison. Still watch both.
The way the dude in the Bentley is sipping tea in the slow mo is hilarious 7:28
Nice spot!
He starts when they cross the finish at min 5.. 😉
NICE
Pinkie up
That dude be DT hyphen S
Can I make a suggestion ?
Fantastic channel, love the content. You have many many European viewers here, and pretty much most of us use the metric system, so weight, torque, (sometimes distance) always needs converting for us to understand.
If possible, could you add the metric counterparts on screen when reviewing the specs ?
Would give it that little touch for us Europeans!
Thanks 🙌🏻
Go away.
@ClinicalDecisionYikesYT good one
@@JCDenton95 aluminium
Ignore the rest. Good idea.
I live in the Philippines and I prefer miles an hour.
Jason, you just keep getting better and better at what you do! Such a treat, thank you!
Gotta say I was quite surprised when I saw the Bentley launch the best and stayed infront right until the final hurdle considering it weighs as much as the Earth.
That's because the Bentley stood still and rotated planet earth underneath it
Bentleys are disrespectfully fast
Weighs as much as the new M5
The designer of the R35 GT-R said it best: weight is low-speed downforce.
THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE BEST CAR REVIEWS I HAVE EVER SEEN . THE HUMOUR , GRAPHICS , EDITS AND INFOMATION DELIVERY IS AMAZING🔥🔥
You forget the Aston Martin
That and Italy (812 or 12 Clindri)
The DB12 would've lost. Aston claim 3.3 seconds to 60 mph and Car and Driver got 11.1 in the quarter mile.
Basically just an AMG
@@Desert_Rogue_Tanker based off explanations from more than one carmudgeon show Ferrari can sometimes be very... carmudgeonly about letting their vehicles out to play and all three cars are a twin turbo 4.0L V8 so it probably would have been a Roma to match the rest of the cars. I guess he could have asked for a V8 Vantage but that runs the same M177 engine as the Mercedes and could have been cut as redundant for the intent of the video which was to show off the fat Bentley going down the track at hilarious speeds it'll never be driven up to in the real world lol.
Fun video though, and Jason is looking healthy so I'll call it a win for monday!
Not the point @@jpl8878
"Time for me to GT.... FO!" Jason, that was a wonderful line of comedy for just this video LOL
😂😂😂😂😂 I was rolling
Someone get this man a beer! Tallyho!
@@paulmcadam6825 hehe think its beer that produced that fine line in the first place 😆
7:10 drinking tea with the pinky sticking out was such a funny, unnecessary detail 😂
The editing in this video is incredible. So fun to watch
You got the Car "Wow" guy beat in commentary, humor and graphics. My new favorite drag racing channel....plus my favorite car won😂
9:17 nice check engine light on the Merc!
Damnit I was gonna comment about it lol
and 36 degrees outside! Brrr
So did the Bentley. See bottom left at 7:47
They come delivered like that, so americans can just tape it over and ignore, as always 🫠
Merc didn't even make it on the Consumer Report list this year, "insufficient date". Has nothing to do with them at the bottom 5 for 3 years in a row.
The slide while sitting, to let the view expand into the cockpit...... that was so smooth...❤
How can you run a GT race without an Aston Martin. The Literal KING of GTs
Ive learned from their videos that Hagerty just hate british cars, i mean it took them 30s to pretend the Bentley is german, and the McLaren is the exception because their trendy with the cringiest communitues, I;E tik tok people and Los Angeles
@@BugattiONE666Aston wouldn’t lend out a car for the video, typical upset brit thinking everyone is against you
@@jaredjankola2119 1. How do you know they are British? 2. I'm British and I don't think they hate British cars
@@BugattiONE666 Someone wasn't paying attention, he said BOTH British and German, which is true it's based in Britain but owned by VW and uses a lot of VW parts and platforms.
They are massive car nerds and Jason co owns a fucking Rover! He even made a video on it.
@@tomfurstyfield because the only person who would care enough to think hagerty hates British cars would be an upset Brit.
7:12 got to love the driver of the Bentley having a cup of tea
He starts when they cross the finish at min 5.. 😉
Love these videos they’re so well done thanks for the viewing, cheers from Australia
Sir Jason Cammisa, MBE of Crewe-Upon-Woking is quite dignified.
Slo-mo starts are the bes thing ever, simpy amazing, sound and everything...i'm full of goosebumps!
Man, the McLaren just LOOKS so cool.
@@LegoSM737 i think benz look much cool
i think it looks fine, just kind of boring..? like it looks GOOD, just not really special for the supercar-esque styling
The Hagerty episode was outstanding! The story is deeply inspiring, masterfully told, and leaves a lasting impression. The quality of the production and attention to detail in every scene further enhance the emotional impact of this episode. Well done!
Camisa is just so entertaining. Pay him more!!!
Jason, that was awesome! You and your team are always putting out such incredibly well made content. Cinematography is brilliant, same as story and the cars itself. Bloody legend.
Gimme the Bentley, please.
Its quick, fast, ans with its RWS, it can even carve canyons.While enjoying all the creature comforts this day and time has to offer. Unlike the other two in this race, you give up nothing.
This guys wit and personality is truly satisfying to watch 😂😂😂❤
That Continental GT honestly blowed my mind with how quick it is when it weighs my house
Proper "blew your mind" ... *sips tea with pinky extended*
The driver sipping tea in the Bentley crossing the finish line😂. I adore Jason.
Bring back the old AMG GT
6:00 in the real world Bentley is faster everyday everywhere.
I think this is the pinnacle of cinematography ❤
I’ll have to say that even before the race started this the best car video I’ve seen in ten years. Carwow channel is amazing btw
As a McLaren GT owner, if the quality was that of the Mercedes, McLaren would Rival Porsche. Yeah, I said it! It's a great car, but the quality is so terrible that it's funny.
Not the Bentley dude sipping tea with his pinkie extended 😂😂😂
🚦 Well alrighty then… As a 1000 plus Horsepower heavily modified Bentley Continental Gt Owner I already know the kinda Power you need to beat or keep up with a McLaren in a 5000 pound Bentley 😏 _ _ _ _ digit HP. With that said this is gonna be Expensive yet fun and Girthy race 😂😂😂💦💦 Also I would have liked to see the Aston Martin DB12 in this matchup come on guys 😎
Eddie your Bentley is bananas 🤪 🤯beautiful …but like you said how you have a GT race and forgot the darn Aston Martin DB12/Vanquish boooooo😢
I just had to check out your claims and man that Bentley is a total Monster 😤
Shake and bake Eddie… Shake and Bake 🫡
Man what a time to be alive …horsepower madness 🫶🏻
Let freedom reign supreme
Even if I don't have any interest in the cars in the video, I still watch it because... HAGERTY!
The GTI top speed limiter is 155. The Bently clocked the finish at 130. Just sayin...
Good catch, but ultimately 99.9% of GTI drivers will never find out unless they are lucky enough to be on the Autobahn. Top speed limits are pointless for practically all drivers.
@@ryankuypers1819 people say this all the time but i hit my speed limiter nearly daily on comutes. Its also set at 255 kmh and thats just on the belgian freeway
I see the Bentley, surprisingly quick but what level of video editing is this?🤯🤯
For Christ sake, give this guy to make a proper reviews as well. The drag videos are great but this dude deserves to be included in more stuff!!
Absolutely EPIC production values on these Hagerty videos - awesome work...! 😎
As a kid I would pour through car magazines and study all the numbers. This is car heaven to a poor boy from Cleveland. Thank you!
Wouldn't be a Mercedes without the good old check engine light on 😂
9:35 Bentley time is the same with M5 cs💀
I really love, appreciate the comparisons and perspectives put into context to understand how big of a deal an aspect is❤
I've always had a soft spot for Bentley, but I've never wanted one more. Holy cow, 0-60 in 2.6 seconds is insane
Its a thing of beauty.
The car spacing you guys run during the drag race is insane but I applaud you! Great vid and production
The effects are so nice, especially the shot of the Merc crossing the finish and his shadow casting on the car.
lol
It was his shadow. The cars aren't in slow motion they are just driving slow when hes near them 😂
@@KennyClearIt that was sarcastic mate ;)
Hey, thanks for opening the hoods and showing us those plastic covers moving slightly. Epic!
Bless Camissa and the crew for making Monday morning better.
Another super video and fantastic editing. Thank you so much!!
Watching these videos on my phone and not on a big tv with speakers feels like a crime
I like how he brought cars that actually have the word GT in their name but are more super❤great video
Laid up in the hospital. What perfectly perfect timing. Edit add on Thank you all for the well wishes and comments so far and for any future ones.
Get well soon!
Hahaha...home from a hernia operation
get better immediately
Get well soon
Feel better mate check out some car interviews here as well lol ❤️🩹
That Bentley goes damn good..💪💪💪
3:36 Mat Watson shoutout lol.
4:56 Jeremy Clarkson shoutout lol.
I'll forever be impressed by your videos, the edit😮😮😮
Cammisa lose some weight? Looking good buddy! 💪
Look at all the holes on his belt! I'd say he's losing some weight for sure!
Hell yeah Jason is looking real good
Hopefully from eating cleaner and a better workout routine...
all the better to slike around in high revving small displacement smile makers 👍🏼
yup yup..now Cammisa is able to fit properly into his camisa!
The Gustav Holtz planets / Mars music when the Bentley came in was perfection 👌
Cammisa, you are the best at what you do. Unlike other channels, I never fast forward any part of your videos. Kudos to you and the entire team.
When I saw that Mclaren get gapped I was worried, but something inside told me to wait, so I did. Mclarens never disappoint.
If anything needs to be applauded it is the editing on this channel!
AMAZING!
I liked the use of “The Planets” by Holst. One of my favorite orchestral suites.
I think this is the only channel I don’t try and skip straight to the race.
Best content ever! Hagerty and Jason did it again!!!!!!!!!!!
That Bentley is absolutely amazing
None are Vanquished
The graphics and CGI you guys are doing are frankly astounding, not to mention that the presenter is superb also
The sound recording is amazing, happy that the whishy whooshy sounds from the turbo’s are so well recorded
That Bentley.
Cammisa makes Mondays not suck :)
3:30 Sounds like the upscaled version of the xc90. The T8 hybrid is basically a Prius in town and a turbo beast on the highway 😂
Electric performance hybridization is going to get really insane when a better / lighter battery tech comes into play. Imagine the numbers the Bentley would put up if it shaves 700-800lbs of battery weight (same for the newer AMG). There's still a whole lot of performance gain just waiting in the wings that will come into fruition over the next decade.
That's why I don't get all the hate for hybrids and EVs. We're in the infancy of this tech. There's so much room for growth and improvement. Hell, the ICE has been around for over a century. A hundred years of evolution. These hybrids and EVs are gonna be insane in the next couple decades. Can't wait!
@@TheDCJasonThe average EV/hybrid critic tends to rely more on emotions than reasoning.
Hybrids and EVs carry huge performance potential, but I gotta be honest....where's this drastically lighter battery tech we speak of? Most of the EVs with the highest range hover around the 300-400 mark in the real world, with only the heaviest battery packs able to get towards the top end of that. Lithium ion battery packs can still be improved, but I doubt it'll shave that much weight from future EVs.
It's the hybrids I have my eye on. With a combustion engine and fuel tank onboard to handle much of the energy storage, you can get away with a MUCH smaller battery, making reasonable weight achievable. Moreover, there is nothing stopping a hybrid from possessing a holeshot as good as the EVs, since 1000hz TCS just needs an electric motor. If the next generation of holeshot gods comes from anywhere, my bet is on the hybrids.
@@mitchell-wallisforce7859 Solid State Lithium batteries are what's closest to being "ready" from what I can tell. They're significantly lighter by ditching the electrolytic fluid. The downside I've read is that they don't handle charging and recharging well at the moment (i.e. they reach end of life way too quickly).
The other tech being investigated is salt based, which should also provide very drastic weight savings. The problem is it's in its infancy still, so 7 - 10 years at least before being a viable option?
At least there is tech in a near ready state, so hopefully those gains will be seen soon-ish?
100%. Porsche's PHEV came out a decade ago, and current system has 3x the range AND the battery is lighter, smaller, and cheaper.
Bentley's fortunate that Porsche developed that system for them.
I dont know what it is, but I'm just not as interested in supercars. Making "slow" cars go crazy fast however? That's what keeps me coming back to this wonderful channel
Good way to start working week!
CUDRR remains undefeated for the best drag race content short of RuPaul’s Allstars. And I loved the use of Gustav Holst’s Mars for dramatic effect!!! Keep on (affectionately) taking a dump on CarWow 😜
That Bentley is gorgeous. Love those wheels!
This is ridiculously well put together and that was one of the best British accents I've heard from an American lol
“Now it’s time for me to GT..FO” 😂
Race start at 5:15
09:17 - Check Engine Light?
Yep. It got very angry from us revving it for the camera.
Jason talking about planets, music playing Mars from Gustav Holst ❤
as a Mercedes fan i don't think I've ever seen a Mercedes win any of these drag races,they always make it harder for me defend them
@@Nothing-bf5mi Mercedes is just always wayyy too heavy or doesn’t have the hp like its bmw or McLaren counterparts.
Mercedez try not to lose any races challenge: Impossible
Yea it's because they are racing the wrong car in this race they should've used the GT63 e performance because this one is under powered
@@swype.media-9309 but it's mostly faster then them on the track where real driving dynamics are tested
My question is WTF are you doing taking a Mercedes drag racing in the first place?
The big Bentley set to Mars Bringer of War was not lost on me XDDD
Can you please show the conversion of your units to metric, please? We're struggling here 😅
so, in meters: the McLaren won, second metric place for the Bentley, third metric place for the Mercedes.
No
Can you please show us how you do those super cool slow mo shots with Jason walking beside the cars? Looks so cool!
Cars effortlessly doing 10 seconds is crazy
The bentley looks like an suv next to those two
"now it is time for me to GTFO" gets a well deserved slow clap, 👏👏
If I had to pick one to purchase, it would be the Mercedes-AMG GT63. I'm not a big McLaren fan, but the GTS is my favorite model out of the lineup. That Bentley is an absolute beast!
😂😂😂😂😂Jason is the best thing to happen to hagerty
Yet another superb video. thanks for the
post
The elephant noise as the Mercedes rolled up to the line 😭 you guys are on point every single time.
Hello Jason: Thank you for these. I know these videos are a huge amount of work however the finished product is always really good. Have a lovely day.
Amazing automotive journalism
I am more impressed with that Bentley considering it is heavy and not really a sportscar manufacurer like the McLaren.
It has over 700 hp stop glazing
It's a Porsche underneath. Chassis, suspension, transmission, engine and electric motor are all Porsche.
Volkswagen
"Because that's the natural order of things, isn't it?" Quite the English accent!
superb video, as always.
Yre my best content creator....you really have to act in a movie u will be a new movie star
Jason and Randy crack me up.
best car review it's unique like a movie and all the sound effects during speech. carwow should learn from this
There’s no slow McLaren!
