The racing action is close, roll or dig.
These cars are unlikely to be seen at drag strips. Although each car is capable of incredible acceleration and straight-line speed they are not designed to straighten curves. A previous-gen Porsche 911 GT3 has been specifically developed for this purpose. A Bentley Continental GT, on the other hand, is a Bentley. It is a luxury condo designed to keep occupants isolated and pampered.
They do have some commonalities, however. Although both are technically two-door GT vehicles, the 911 GT3 trim isn’t really a long-distance, off-road cruiser. This duty falls to either the 911 Carrera and 911 Turbo. The GT3 does not have a back seat. The Porsche is lighter at 3,218 pounds (1.440 kilograms). The Bentley’s full interior and sound-deadening, as well as its all-wheel drive system, contributes to its nearly 5,000-pound (2.2444-kilogram), weight.
This would explain why there are so many drag races In this new Carwow Video are shown side-by-side, despite Bentley’s significant power advantage. The Continental GT has a twin-turbocharged, 6.0-liter W12 that produces 635 horsepower and enough torque for towing an aircraft carrier. Although the 911 GT3 isn’t an easy car to drive, it’s a capable vehicle. Only It’s the competition’s underdog, with 500 horsepower naturally aspirated from its 4.0-liter flat six turning only the rear wheels. It should.
The video includes four contests. This does not include the 911 warming up its tires with a series gratuitous donuts prior to the action. The contest begins with a standing start and ends with a 50 mph roll-race with each car using its basic mode of drive. The competitors launch at 50 mph using sport settings. Finally, the race ends with a braking test. The 2.5-ton Bentley is sure to lose that one. You might be wrong.
Each car has its wins and losses, but each contest is filled with incredible side-by-side action. Is there an overall winner? This is a great video. Grab your popcorn.
