Pretend money is no object. Would you take the M8 Competition or the Bentley Continental GT Speed? Let us know in the comments!

Great videos but I have to fast forward every video so it doesn't spoil parts of the races 😅 I'd recommend creating an intro that isn't cut from the current video I'm watching 🙏

GT cars like these two won’t be appreciated until the day the Manufacturer says that it’s going all electric. Then “enthusiasts” will cry at how it was such a great car 😂

[PQV-]

"You got this Bentley." Dude was 2 bus lengths behind.

[juanc]

Am I wrong for thinking this is going to be a STOMP for the M8?? That’s a weight difference.

I’m not even a BMW guy, but I’m in love with that M8 Comp. For my purposes, it checks all the boxes. It’s one of the few attractive BMWs left.

I knew the M8 is faster but the way that Bentley is holding up, the motor, the luxury and comfort that as been displayed makes me want to buy it even more! Great video💯

My dad had two V12 Benz when I was growing up (an S600 and a CL600). The S600 with the M120 was our fav - same engine put in Pagani Zonda. That car made me realize how special a V12 is. The top end speed, the smoothness, and they're quiet but sound so good. I remember him drag racing at stop lights... People were so impressed and all wanted to see what a V12 can do. Engine was a rocket ship. The CL was a stunner, it had the M137. Nice car but that turned out to be a lemon. Rest easy pops, I miss you ❤

Dinan (Carbahn now) offer 900HP upgrade to the M8 for $8K....does 9.8 in the 1/4.

That beemer looks like it pulls f'n hard.

[Veyronp]

the bentley moves insane for how heavy it is. the M8 comp is a really underrated car as well - its really expensive but a cool car

W12 is not about instant pushing to the limit. It means a constant and gradual gain to its aim and achievement its objectives. Continental GT Speed is a very special car.

[Anonymous-sonl]

i wanna see a gtr nismo in the u drag as well
epic race!!

[JamesSmith-swnk]

I would gladly take the 2nd place care here.. 😁

[richardh]

I would like to see the M8 against the Nismo GTR.

[Westlyn]

I love this platform. I would love to see the vette e ray vs. an NSX type

[deanmcmanis]

These are amazing (but expensive) luxury heavyweights! I'm still waiting for Edmunds to run the Model S Plaid with the Track Package. Not to compare with these cars, but just to get the numbers down. Run the Plaid against the impressive BMW M5 CS.
