Bently or Aston What You Like Best?

Prestige has forever been Bentley’s well-deserved reputation for building cars with unmatched creature comforts and exquisite style. Even with a change of possession and extraordinary design changes, Bentley’s style and comfort departments remain unswerving. But you might need slow-mo to see those attributes found in Bentley’s Continental GT. This sports coupe-with its W twelve, 6-liter turbocharged, five hundred h.p. engine-is no mere GT poser. It’s the real deal.

Bentley’s four-door sedans outwardly have enough cabin space to nicely accommodate a classical quartet ; but this two-door sports coupe, in contrast, 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’ll need to leave the quartet at home, the tough entertainment center comes standard with a 6 disc CD changer, GPS navigational aid, telephone pre-wiring, and voice-activated controls for the telephone. The seats are luxurious with flexible leather, offering 14 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 automated 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 retains the lavish qualities predicted of a Bentley, but you will have to focus quicker to take it all in.

The Brit 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 nearly 1,500 pounds lighter than the ambitious Bentley Continental GT. However, when it comes to the momentous performance/decadence proportion demands of drivers in this GT brotherhood, 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 bevy of comforts that make the DB9 menacingly mouth-watering.

The DB9’s frame is a revolutionary VH(vertical/horizontal) aluminum-bonded platform, which gives 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 twelve engine, it is no problem with the DB9 going from nil to 60 mph in less than five 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 mobs on this tabula rasa, as customers are encouraged to take advantage ofAston Martin’s personalization program. Exterior paint options are limitless. The interior consists of 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 promises that this is only the beginning of what guarantees to be the new British invasion!.
