The 2023 Bentley Continental GT is as swanky as they come, with a cabin fit for royalty and track level power. But is it good enough to beat the 2023 Porsche 911, a car which is widely considered a legend on wheels thanks to its unbelievable speed, luxury and engineering?
Design & Style
Most super and hyper cars restrict their seating to 2 in order to maximize performance, but the Porsche 911 sets itself apart, offering F1 level performance while seating up to 4 people. Those privileged enough to sit in the driver’s seat of one of these beauties have compared its acceleration to a laser guided missile, and its ability to move through corners is unprecedented.
The Bentley Continental GT can be purchased in the form of a convertible or coupe. It too seats up to four people and comes with a price tag that exceeds most single family homes. It offers 2 engine options, both of which are extremely powerful, and these are the W12 or V8. Its latest update for this year is the S trim, which includes external trim that is blacked out along with distinct wheel designs and a sporty exhaust system.
Technology & Safety
The Bentley Continental GT comes with an assortment of driver assistance features, liked adapted cruise control, pedestrian detection, emergency automated brakes, lane management and multiple airbags. Comforts within its cabin consist of fine wood, textured metallic trim, and fragrant leather, along with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, twelve inch touch display, and an audio system from Bang & Olufsen.
Most super and hyper cars offer zero driver assistance, but again, the Porsche 911 sets itself apart by offering driver assistance features like night vision, adapted cruise control, airbags and emergency automated brakes which are standardized. Comforts within its cabin consist of satellite radio, wifi, a Burmester audio system and powered leather seats that can be adjusted eighteen ways.
Performance
The Porsche 911 is one of the world’s fastest cars. Those that purchase the Turbo S variant will get a 640 horsepower flat six engine that can accelerate from zero to sixty in a remarkable 2.1 seconds, obtaining a top speed of 205 mph. The most powerful Bentley Continental GT is the W12 Speed model, which is six liter and capable of generating 650 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in 3.1 seconds, with a top speed of 207 mph.
The Bottom Line
Both these cars are engineering marvels that seat the same number of people, offer similar safety features and come with a six digit price tag. And while the Porsche has the edge in acceleration, the Bentley has a slight edge in top speed. But the Continental GT has excessive curb weight, and its suspension tuning has been described as stiff, and this makes the Porsche 911 the winner.
