Which Do You Prefer Bently or Aston Martin
Prestige has forever been Bentley’s well-deserved name for building automobiles with unmatched creature comforts and incomparable style. Even with a change of possession and extraordinary design changes, Bentley’s style and comfort departments remain unswerving. But you could need slow-mo to see those attributes found in Bentley’s Continental GT. This sports coupe-with its W 12, 6-liter turbocharged, five hundred hp engine-is no mere GT poser. It’s the real deal.
Bentley’s four-door sedans reputedly have enough cabin space to comfortably accommodate a classical quartet; but this two-door sports coupe, in comparison, is sleek and trim. The GT’s creature comforts are nevertheless copious as the Continental’s interior comes in nine, exotic, natural-wood trims. Although you will need to leave the quartet at home, the robust entertainment center comes standard with a six-disc CD changer, GPS navigational aid, telephone pre-wiring, and voice-activated controls for the phone. The seats are sumptuous with supple leather, offering fourteen separate adjustments, including lumbar support and power memory.
In balancing its swiftness, the Continental GT rides on five-spoke, 19-inch, painted alloy wheels. The glide in the ride stems from an adaptive-variable suspension with automatic load leveling, a front independent, double-wishbone suspension with air springs and a rear stabilizer bar.
Yes, the Continental GT is unquestionably a ramped-up rider compared to Bentley’s respected, classic four-door sedans. Distinctively it keeps the lavish qualities anticipated of a Bentley, but you’ll have to focus faster to take it all in.
The UK are not coming! They are already back and riding high with the Aston Martin DB9 in its royal fleet. The DB9 is a lightweight only on the scale, weighing in almost 1,500 pounds lighter than the ambitious Bentley Continental GT. However, when it comes to the important performance/decadence ratio demands of drivers in this GT fraternity, the DB9 metes out numbers that merit its champion-level standing. The overseer of the 911 Turbo, Dr. Ulhrich Bev, Aston Martin’s Boss , delivers terrifically with a gaggle of comforts that make the DB9 menacingly delicious.
The DB9’s frame is a revolutionary VH ( vertical/horizontal ) aluminum-bonded platform, which provides maximum rigidity, minimal weight and a perfect 50/50 weight balance. Mix that with a double-wishbone suspension and a 450 horsepower,6.0-liter V 12 engine, it is no problem with the DB9 going from 0 to sixty miles per hour in less than 5 seconds. This dragster ramps out at top speed of 186 mph shortly thereafter. The six-speed, auto-manual transmission operates smoothly with magnesium paddle shifters that infuse the liquid feel of a true manual transmission. And the low-RPM responsiveness is just superb.
Amenities come in hordes on this tabula rasa, as patrons are inspired to make use ofAston Martin’s personalization program. Exterior paint options are limitless. The inside contains handcrafted, stitched leather seats, and the door and interior trim come in exotic walnut, mahogany or bamboo. There’s also a Linn 950-watt, Dolby Pro Logic II audio-system option to boot.
What is even better is that Dr. Bev guarantees this is only the start of what guarantees to be the new British invasion!.
