2007 Bentley Continental GT vs. 2007 Mercedes-Benz CL600

For Edmunds' Inside Line article:
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/Comparos/articleId=121870

No one shops for the 510-horsepower, twin-turbocharged V12-powered Mercedes-Benz CL600 or 552-hp, twin-turbocharged W12-powered Bentley Continental GT based on price. After all, if you can afford either of these true hardtop coupes you can afford to buy them both — on the same day, using a black American Express card. These are cars for rich people. Well, not just rich, but Gordon Gekko-spec liquid. Rich enough to have their own jets. Rich enough not to waste time. Fifty, a hundred million dollars, buddy. Players.

Benz all the way...

Did the Bentley really think it had a chance? what a disappointment... the Merc isn't even AMG

Bentley is the best brand for those who have money and respect. What's the point to buy CL 600 or AMG if other people can buy A class car to say: "I drive a Mercedes Benz too?"

@vili567 Both are amazingly fast and can take any modern sportscar on the road today.

Thats just pure Ownage.The Bentley has 411KW but the Benz only has 380KW and yet the Benz was faster.Too much weight.

I'm straining my ears to hear the beautiful sounds of the V and W 12 engines but that damn narrator is talking all over it!
