The Bentley Continental is the pinnacle of automotive perfection in terms of style and performance. But this luxury sports car also offers a level of prestige and exclusivity that its rivals cannot match. With more refined powertrains and technologies that allow it to offer the perfect balance between comfort and sportiness, the Bentley Continental is an essential choice for those who want to make the most of the road.
Here we compare the 2021 Bentley Continental with the 2021 Porsche 911.
Bigger powertrains in the 2021 Bentley Continental
Performance is a top priority at Bentley. The Continental GT V8 is powered by a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine that produces 542 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque. It allows the Continental to reach a top speed of just over 318 km/h and sprint from 0 to 100 km/h for 4.1 seconds. It’s more powerful, but also quicker than the base engine in the Porsche 911.
The W12-powered Bentley Continental has a 6.0-liter twin-turbo 12-cylinder engine that generates 626 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. This allows the Bentley Continental to reach a top speed of 333 km/h.
The Bentley Continental combines power and comfort better than the Porsche 911 thanks to a three-chamber air suspension with continuous damping control and four height adjustments. With models equipped with the W12, you get the Bentley Dynamic Ride system which actively controls body roll.
Endless customization possibilities with the Bentley Continental
The Bentley Continental is significantly more spacious than the Porsche 911, thus offering superior comfort. It also deploys more than 358 litres of cargo space, which double the space of most 911 variants.
But what sets the Bentley Continental apart the most is the large number of customization options available. With an array of exterior colours, wheel choices, interior trim and materials, you can create the Continental that meets your criteria.
