- 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...

Great review that influenced my decision to buy. After watching your in-depth study and considering the advantages and disadvantages of both vehicles, I've decided to purchase a Toyota Yaris. It's more in line with my budget.
Love it !
Hahahahahaha, Yaris or gr Yaris?
Be sure not to be just an arrogant jerk when you flaunt your superiority around those sensible & gas saving turns.🎩 💰💸
@@pigeonpoo1823 I'd guess it's a 2014 yaris
Look at daddy Warbucks over here. I'm over here saving up 6mo wage for a used huffy bike with Shimano brakes.
Oh, to choose between those 2. A nice problem to have.
Hope we both have this problem in the nearer future 🙏
Dead right. 911 every time though.
@@peterobertson1457 i dont think so :)
Great thorough review!
„Now kiss“
Collab👌🏻
I miss you guys
Great review Dan as always. Love the Turbo S, such a weapon in a smart suit. The real winner is VW. They take your money either way.
🤣🤣🤣
What money?
@@rogerdickinson6944 As soon as you buy any of these cars, the money goes into Volkswagen’s pocket!
Volkswagen makes both cars.
Super review, I have owned BOTH cars and still own the BENTLEY, Its more plush and still goes like stink, more roomy and luxurious. Im a HUGE 911 fan and the turbos are ballistic!
Porsche and Bentley are not in the same class at all.
@@liang1981 same class as?
911 Turbo S for me Simon and my Panamera. Best of both worlds.
Thanks, great review of two fantastic cars. You perfectly summarised the personality, character and particularities of them. One of your best reviews since you arrived to this channel. Congrats.
I love the Porsche but if I had to choose one, I'd go for the Bentley because of practicality
lol
I picked the 992 911 Turbo S. Mine is in Dolomite silver with black interior. The Bentley was a close second choice.
Enjoy in good health!
what was your reasoning? and no thoughts on aston?
@@kaiblue5660 I drove both cars and just liked the Porsche better. Also, the Bentley drops like a rock in value. On the Aston, I owned a Vanquish Volante a few years back. Beautiful but does drop fast in value as well. I paid $344,000 for the car and sold it with 9,000 miles on it three years later for $185,000.
@@mmerritt143 besides depreciation, was that the only reasoning? i feel like porsche engineering is amazing, they do a good job of keeping the desirable bits and getting rid of the not so good bits. however i feel like aston just speeks class and sex. also is the bentley as big of a boat as people say?
@@kaiblue5660 The Aston is super beautiful but I did not like the driving experience as much as the Porsche. Maybe I am biased, this is my 4th Porche.
Been looking for this exact test for a while now to no avail until today. The exact trims and all. I see some people are being critical of the fact they fill different niches and aren't really direct rivals. To me they're both just highly desirable GT cars. They're also some of the crown jewels in my bucket list that I like to delude myself I have any chance of achieving, fingers crossed this ends up being consumer advice!
Couldn’t have said it better. That GT segment is probably the most rewarding one once you find your car
never give it up - that's what Leasing is for! once youre in and feeling you're making money by being ahead of the ballon payment at the end you're not going to break out and will find yourself trading up regularly. much to your partners disbelief.
I too love the GT mix - great performance but great compfort 4 wheel drive and great style, but i want at least 4 seats - both these cars offer zero passenger option if either in front are 6 foot. 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!
Ideally would like to own them outright and just hang on to them. I'm talking out of my arse a bit though since I don't make any money as it stands.
I love the Panamera and that specific trim is my favourite. I'd like to have it in Viola Metallic with a Crayon interior as well but I only need space for myself so the Conti's a more appealing prospect personally. But again, just a dream.
You’ll achieve it one day buddy
Great video.... intelligent journalism.... but in the end, the Bentley badge is just pure class 💙
Love to see a comparison video between turbo s and roma
I wasn't surprised he mentioned tyre roar what with it wearing Pirelli P Zeros. The P Zero N1 is a fairly noisy tyre. The Michelin PS4S N0 are noticibly quieter in comparison.
Yours are the most professional reviews in the motoring press.
Both are winners, Porsche for short to medium journeys without question and Bentley for longer journeys without question.
Yes, VW wins!
First press car Turbo S without the sports suspension - seems like it works better in this setup without it. As for the Bentley, they should do the V8 with the Speed suspension/axle/diff improvements
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.
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.
Great review Dan and superbly shot as always by Harry. Bentley for me please!
Bentley ❤ Because everything in life is no speed !! Porsch 911 only track. Bentley in city+Autobahn
Thank you for a brilliant video review. If I won the lottery I’d have both!
Great video. Really enjoyed this. Thanks 🙏 kept me occupied and out of trouble for a while.
911Turbo is a complete ballistic missile; can be used in all occasions, haven’t driven latest version but previous one I love. Bentley too ostentatious for my taste but appreciate the 911 is not for everyone
I agree with you sir, I’ve never driven an 911, but any video I’ve watched on the new turbo s it is mind blowingingly brilliant.
crazy how i was configuring a 911 turbo s and a GT speed, then when I opened CZcams, this of all videos is the first one to pop up.
Brilliant video. Two of my absolute favourite cars so really enjoyed it. And I'll take either one thanks!
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!
This cars are known for having comfort and speed
The porsche is 70% speed 30% comfort
The bentley is 70% comfort 30% speed
Would be nice owning this 2 plus an offroader like bronco and a sedan like m5
The Porsche for me, that timeless design will always looks nice unlike the Bentley which will be dated once the new gen is launched.
Idk, the gt was around for a while now and it barely changed.
This is Porsches best bang for buck weapon ever. This really puts it up to the opposition more than ever. Still the King of driving.
One of the best car reviews i've ever seen, outstanding. Well done.
I don't see how it's a MUST to have 600+hp just to have fun in the snow. I've had some great fun in the snow with an Audi A5 with under 300hp
Big numbers sells
No torque in your toy car
Both are amazing cars. I really enjoy driving dynamics, so the 911 would be the one for me. But you can't go wrong with any, and I'm sure the buyers will mostly pick the right car based on their preferences.
911 is not a Grand Tourer, it is a Sports Tourer as it has no luggage space which a true GT has.
Wtf is a sports tourer.. stop making shet up
I just love the 911. Such an enormous daily ride!! Beautiful
Porsche all day… everyday!
The seats in the Bentley are to die for
Im actually not convinced that the Turbo is a GT car. Yes its an absolute missile, but its still more of a sportscar than a true GT car. The Continental on the other hand, now that’s a GT car. Quiet, luxurious, comfortable, but an absolute unit when it needs to be.
Brilliant and engaging review. Well done.
I feel like the Bentley is a "Sporty Luxury Car" while the Porsche is a "Luxurious Sports Car" which sound like the same thing but they aren't 🧐
Great video. Never felt hanging on wishing for more information.
Next video: Range Rover SVR vs Cayman GT4
That is genuinly the best gt review ever
Great review mate
At 1:06 I'm already slavering! That description of the 911... Guess I'm biased already! Gonna enjoy this!
Great review. It would be a really hard choice.
Great review Dan really enjoyed it !!!!
Loadsa car videos, but I keep coming here to see when the heads get piston
Great review. Dan is always on point. He should be on Top Gear.
Can't wait for the Super Sports 🔥🔥
Interesting that you implied (or seemed to) that the Carrera GTS is sportier than the Turbo S. Both are turbo'd Carreras, I'm surprised to hear that.
Bentley continental GT is incredible, nice masterpiece
I would say the winner in this category is the BMW M8 competition. Better comfort than the Turbo S and by far better driving machine than the Bentley. And i'm a Turbo S owner, the tyre noise can be irritating.
That M8 isn't even in the same luxury level as the Conti though
@@JTM610 true, but more than the Porsche.
Shame about the tyre noise from 911s, yes it is bearable but could be better which would make touring a little more pleasant. I have memories of a concrete stretch of road between Dunkirk and Ypres in a 997 turbo!!! the Bentley would have done it better but I think its too big and too heavy compared to the Porsche.
just put some noise cancelling airpods on
That cream interior of the 911 turbo S is so good
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Dan, have you test driven the DBS Superleggera? I would be curious to get your thoughts on that car in warmer weather.
Is it me or is the stitching on the Bentley's door a bit skewiff?
What a great great review!
Porsche of course
"Bentley has the best interior"
*Lexus: we make boats innit?*
Do you still have the Alpine? I feel that could tick a lot of the boxes for this test
Porsche starts at £164000
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 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖😂😂😂😂
Both epic cars. I have owned 3 Conti GTS, all stunning to drive on long runs, with bags of space, and that W12 is a remarkable engine. This one looks like a great leap forward with b road manners.. The 911 has finally found a way to reach the GT market, apart from the crap baggage space.
You cannot buy the porsche 2 year waiting list.
911 Turbo S all day every day for me just an unbelievable piece of engineering. Once my #SAFEMOON hits £10 I'm getting one of those bad boys!
Nice review btw 👍🏼
Lol
Did you sell it in time? 🫣
doesn’t really make sense to compare them cause they don’t even compete at all, two different cars for two different purposes🤦🏼♂️ and the Continental GT is technically a Panamera coupe, so comparing them makes as much "sense" as comparing a S 63 coupe with the AMG GT
too bad, otherwise it's a good video as always
Porsche is also good, very powerful car
A normal Conti GT will do me fine all year round pls
Loved it. And love that little stretch of road - proper gem
I can't choose 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️both are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The potential to tune the Bentley must be huge!
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 CZcams but they’ll go to the car dealers and test them.
Flying spur and the 911, ideal garage, gives more space between them imo.
Volkswagon knocking it out the park with both cars!! 😊
Saw one of these Bentley's today. Amazing thing and very very low. I have one delivered for summer please.
Another great review. Porsche all day long for me; the Bentley looks clumsy by comparison
No mention of the Speed "New" rear diff system with rear wheel steering which have been incorporated to the Speed. Check next time
Wow! What a comparison.... Apples and oranges, but somehow both supreme beings hey. Impossible choice. The overall spec on Bentley is superb, but the Porsche is something else.... If pressed, I'd say Bentley, just screams "presence"
Can you drive with summer tires in the winter?
What the lowest temp you can drive this turbo s 2023 ?
2 fantastic cars, one as a daily and the other for weekend fun!
Who was the one to ask for this race? Two different cars that shouldn't be compared if yr talking about speed. Smfh.
The Porsche is a surgical precision tool. The Bentley is a completely different car - a classical GT for the Autobahn.
Some Nutter bought a 21 plated one of those Bentleys and wrapped it in metallic orange then lacquered the wrap to get a gloss finish, ( looks like a cheap paint job ) then sold it to WBAC now it’s at BCA manchester it’s a mess orange with a red trim. Must of been a footballer
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
Need more videos!
Bentley speed. A proper British Touring Car with Porsche engineering.
Ftype svr is a perfect blend of gt and a sportscar and isn't ugly like a 911 and isn't boring looking like a bentley.
Seats are crap
@@borisyurinov4822 better seats than a 911 I've owned both over the years
@@kaushikganesh6216 I prefer the xkr seats. 4.2 V8 is such a sweet spot
Oh God, that Bentley Continental GT Speed is the Shit!!!
Nice, I'll take both of them.
Well. Just because something is fast its not a sportscar. Not even a alcantara steering wheel helps
But it’s interesting comparing two very different VW products, sure. For VW geeks I suppose!
Conti GT any day. Just hate that its seats are RS 7-ish. Otherwise, great car overall.
Previous Speed I drove pretty hard, I was shocked how it behaved , best way I could describe it, as like driving a lowered heavy SUV , certainly not my cup of Tea.
Had a go in the GT Speed. Left me cold, interior is superb but driving feels distant. Good car dor people in their 60s.
For the price of GT Speed you can get a lineup of good cars!
It’s not a sports car, it’s a grand tourer. It’s one of the more dynamic grand tourers but it’s still a grand tourer. You have to realise what kind of car you’re driving before making any judgment on it
When you get back in your A110 Dan, don't all these other cars seem pointless and overpriced? The Bentlley's wheel looks suspiciously similar to standard VW kit.
One for the gentleman and one for the lady
I'm not sure who buys a £164k turbo s as an "everyday sportscar". You cannot use the performance on the public road, I think the normal 911 carrera S would be a more sensible buy at £100k.
Can't fool me. That's the bloke from Coldplay.
DO NOT LET, NO ONE GO, IN YOUR VEHICLE; AND DO NOT LET, NO ONE TOUCH, YOUR CART.
Is that Bentley's steering wheel really as lumpy and baggy as it looks?
They're both Volkswagens. But the Bentley is higher on my list.
Awesome stuff
Straight roads are for fast cars, turns are for fast drivers
