  • The new 659hp GT Speed is probably the best super-GT Bentley has ever made. But is it good enough to outpoint the 650hp Porsche 911 Turbo S - arguably the most capable all-weather sports car currently on sale...

    The tire noise in the 911 Turbo is probably influenced by…. wait for it…. the tires more than anything else. I had a pair of Pirelli’s and I didn’t really notice how dreadfully loud they were until I switched to a set of Michelins. The reduction in road noise was massive.

    Love the comparison, but you can only call a Porsche Turbo S a GT car because there is a GT3 model. That is a really a Sport Car with GT abilities. The real competition for the Bentley GT Speed would be a Panamera Turbo S 2 door coupé if such a thing would exist. In the real world it’s adversaries are the M8 Competition, the S63 AMG Coupe and maybe a few others. But both are gorgeous cars, of course!

I looked and experinced mercs/bmws/audis and ferrari and the best car id love to fullfil the criteria above is the porshce panmera turbos s ehybrid in sports tourismo form - Drive any in the other catergories then compare the porsche for speed, compfort and handling, mpg/emmisions - i found it won on all of these and is my 'GT' car of preference - but not a GT!

    Brilliant I get the same rush at the helm of my 206 1.4 Hdi This beast easily yields 78.5mpg at motorway speeds. Oh and its turbo charged For road hugging grip 195/55R15 Michelins at £695 you don't need a loan. Its a hoot on the A303 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖😂😂😂😂

    The GT is so smooth, so planted that in side view it looks like those old movies filmed in studio. You see the trees moving but the car looks still. Brilliant.

    They're both Volkswagens. But the Bentley is higher on my list.

    Everything on the Bentley will fail and depreciate but the body and interior. It's decadence made for someone to replace it's mechanical parts. Porsche is still the working mans ultimate sports car. I want a 93 911 not a Bentley Azure

    After this video, I considered both of these cars so I went ahead and bought…a second hand BMW 3 series. I guess the rich people will not look at a video on UA-cam but they’ll go to the car dealers and test them.

    The 911 Turbo S is the best every day supercar in the world. Bar non.
