@@GoLdenSkull92Depends on the dyno, but you’re right. I’ve seen 590-640 to the wheels on various dynos for a stock Comp spec S63TU3 in awd sport mode. For the Bentley to keep up the way it did weighing 700+ lbs more than the M8, its definitely underrated as well. Sucks that Mat didn’t launch at the same time for both races, the difference really compounds as the race goes on
I saw these two cars being drag raced by Richard Hammond and James May. The race took place in damped conditions. The m8 always won by a smidge and I was curious to see what would happen in a dry race
Even though im Dutch and dont fully understand German, i think 4:28 translates to 'My automatic reacted insanely fast, but i think the Bentley had a kickdown issue.'
I would like to see some more details about the times. Like 1/4 mile times from all runs, 0-60 times. It wont take a lot of effort as they already have the measuring systems running. We can see how consistent the cars are...

@@jamisonz3365 Get a 4 series, Your grandfather has better tastes and wisdom, which is why he would choose the Bentley. The bmw is the dream of the young adult with problems with alcohol and bitches.
I have a gt speed and trust me the beemer isn’t even close in comfort, luxury or style. Everywhere I go people wanna compliment the Bentley. And I can assure you that there’s not really anywhere on public roads that you are noticing .2 seconds over 1/4 mile. The 900nm torque is ridiculous. It’s so much fun just pulling away from 35 in 6th gear like a train whilst in pure luxury leaving the annoying Audi s3 up your ass like it’s standing still. Trust me it’s worth every penny it’s awesome! And I have been a beemer fan since being a kid, I’m not bias the Bentleys just awesome
I will say that Bentley's W12 engine is one of the most interesting 12-cylinder engines I have heard~ Unlike any other 12 cylinder, but it's a very good engine
Love the cars, the race, and the sky. Plus, the glowing brakes in this little light, all this needs is a slow-mo recap of what happened in the vid, some soothing dubstep remix and boom, you have the coolest and most relaxing video ever
If you know how dual clutch gearboxes work this kickdown thing makes total sense. The car is assuming (because he’s not slowing down or braking) that the next shift will be up. All the best to everyone
its one of the most ugliest and unreliable european brands! but they are making a good job brainwashing ppl😂 if the bmw is gorgeous 🙄 then the bentley what is it?!
Honestly there should be more evening races or evening reviews. The lights and ambient lighting make there cars look even better! Look at the M8 lights!!
BMW cars barely lose drag races and I love it. The Bentley was a favourite to win, with its 6.0l W12 engine which puts out 660hp and almost a 1000Nm but the 4.4l V8 engine said not today.
If BMW is still pulling away..there's no chance its only 625hp Interestingly the Bently is 659hp. The M5 (non comp) has been dyno tested to be around 550hp - 560hp. The competition must be 10hp - 20hp more. As M8 comp engine is same as M5 comp. Must be packing some 670hp - 680hp. While M5 comp is definitely around 700hp
@@thehelperofthepeopledems2525 ah yes, I skipped the beginning to get to the race, saw the quad pipes so thought it was v8 as w12 has oval pipes. The quad pipes on w12 engine is a modification. But you're right it is the w12 speed, woops lol
I remember that TV show with three British old men with an Aston Martin, a Bentley and a BMW. In that case, the Bimmer was always the winner on wet, even though it wasn't the proper M8. I'm kinda surprised it managed to beat the Bentley almost every single time in dry and against a newer model. It just becomes ballistic!

You should record these at this time of day it makes everything look much nicer !!
You buy a continental gt for luxury, you buy an M8 competition for luxury and a really good view of every car in your mirrors
