The 2021 Porsche 911 has achieved legendary status due to its impeccable performance, spectacular appearance, array of safety features and endless customization options. But how does it stack up against the 2021 Bentley Continental GT, an ultra-luxurious car with English charm, a lavish cabin, and incredible performance?
Design & Style
The Bentley Continental GT can be purchased in the form of a soft top convertible or hard top coupe. The designers added an updated glass panoramic roof and 3 new colors, which are Snow Quartz, Viridian and Patina. The steering wheel has also been revised and the interior is covered in fragrant leather with polished wooden veneer and seats covered in a lovely diamond pattern that is double stitched.
The Porsche 911 largely retains the water drop shape that has made it famous. The haunches have been enlarged, and the cabin has more digital screens than previous editions. The body is made from aluminum and its exterior curves are exquisite and very pleasing to the eyes. It can hold up to four passengers who will sit in leather covered seats that are supple and comfortable.
Technology & Safety
The Porsche 911 is well equipped with the newest safety gadgetry. This includes pedestrian detection, emergency automated brakes, blind area monitoring, a camera with night vision as well as surround view and lane and cruise control. It also has carbon ceramic brakes, and luxuries within its cabin include heated/cooled seats, Apple CarPlay, a 150 watt sound system with eight speakers, climate control and keyless start.
The Bentley Continental GT is equipped with many of the safety functions found in the Porsche, including night vision, pedestrian detection, emergency automated brakes and cruise control which is adaptive. The cabin is extremely luxurious with a sound system from Bang & Olufsen or Naim, the choice of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, 12.3 inch displays and climate control.
Performance
The Bentley Continental GT pulls no punches when it comes to performance. It is equipped with a W12 engine that can generate 626 horsepower, which enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in just 3.3 seconds. It uses an automatic eight speed dual clutch transmission that provides smooth yet quick gearshifts. Those that purchase the Porsche 911 Turbo will get 640 horsepower with 590 pounds of torque, which enables it to blaze from zero to sixty in just 2.7 seconds.
The Bottom Line
While the Bentley Continental GT does lots of things well, the Porsche 911 does them better. It seats the same number of passengers and is just as luxurious, but crushes the Bentley when it comes to horsepower and acceleration, which makes it the winner.
