    Bentley Coupe GT's TEST DRIVE

    TOP GEAR team has recently tested the Bentley GT coupe & found out the following facts which I'll summarize in a few points:
    * The car is just powerful(552 bhp @ 6100 rpm),it holds the most powerful engine in the world with the most USABLE torque curve.
    The car just keeps accelerating @ the same rate until it goes out of rev.
    * It is a revolution if compared to the Arnage as you can speed up in public roads which is some thing you couldn't do in an Arnage.
    * It is so perfect that you get bored of it after a while!!
    * Compared to the Aston Martin's Vanquish it is quieter,more comfortable,better built and more practical.
    Still,Michael Harvey found the Vanquish a funnier car to drive!!

    I love the Continental GT, but I'll still take the Aston. It's just too beautiful. Despite the easy drivability of the Bentley and the fact that (with its huge torque) it could probably get by with one long gear, the Aston has consistently been called one of the most brilliant Grand Tourers ever.

    Anyway, I'll take the glorious head-turning looks of the future classic Vanquish V12.

    I love the Aston, but I would go for the Contintal GT. The looks are simply stunning, not that the vanquish is bad looking ofcourse. But the Bentley has something special in my eyes that does it for me.

    The Vanquish for me, it looks simply stunning, although it would be a hard choice.

    I like both cars, but the Astonīs front end is more aggressive, like a real sportscar...

    the continental anytime - for overall its the bentley and it has more class - the aston does not really have any class anymore - its 1000th car just rolled of the assembly line for a JAPANESE customer so its not that exquisit anymore - sure the v12 may sound brilliant and the looks maybe far better but as for eveything else and basically the exquisitness and the big shot status symbol it has to be the bentley
