Bentley Continental GT vs McLaren GT: Which Is THE Grand Tourer? 4K

The Bentley Continental GT is the quintessential grand tourer. The new V8 coupe is fast, luxurious and brilliant to drive. But a new challenger has emerged in the form of the McLaren GT. Rory Reid took both cars to sunny, exotic Isle of Wight to review how well they perform, and to discover which of the two might be best for you.

I don't think they even try.. It looks shit all the time.

[@anavgeekspassion5727]

@@kamallb4650 Shit? Opinions are subjective. You can't label it as "shit" just because you think that's the case. The McLaren GT is luxurious and has a fine interior.

@@anavgeekspassion5727 you contradicted yourself, you said opinions are subjective and can’t label it as shit or bad, yet that applies to *your* opinion too, you think that the GT looks very luxurious and is a fine interior, but that’s no more than a subjective opinion, same as kamal’s opinion. So just because you think it’s great, doesn’t mean everyone has to think the same.

To be honest, the Mclaren is still a supercar. Just a bit more watered down supercar. But doesn't really qualify as a GT car.

[@sanglemalt]

The Mclaren has 2 boots, comfortable to drive, lifted front end where you don’t need to worry about speed bumps. It is a unique niche for a GT car and I’m glad it’s available.

AutoTrader Definitely Bentley. I’ve just always admired the design and superior luxury the Bentley brand stands for. I’m sure the McLaren is a good car as well.

[@espaudio]

Bentley. Every day of the week. What a place to spend time. If you want a McLaren get the 720s. Not getting much more comfort from the GT and it’s way prettier and way more special. But for mile munching and feeling like royalty the Conti is the only choice.

Mclaren is one of my favorite car brands but their cars are made for the track, to go fast while being classy. The Bentley is the gold standard and the definition of a GT. Both are amazing in their own rights. Mclaren should focus on its brand and what its good at it.

[@fourfundamentals210]

Pete Davis Bentley depreciates horrendously badly however

[@BJJPaulos74]

No, both cars lose money soon as you drive them out of the showroom at a very similar rate, like most cars, unfortunately. Also how exactly is the McLaren a rip-off, compared to what the Bentley, Ferrari, Lambo's, Bugatti's, Koenigsegg's what? Because the McLaren is about 11 grand more than the Bentley starting price 152k v 163k.and I bet in a ye time there about a similar price differential. Ateotd in the McLaren you're paying for the more expensive carbon Fiber monocoque platform, while the Bentley is based on Volkswagen's modular MSB Platform which is a far cheaper system. Personally, Bentley even through the ups and downs are a British institution that along with Rolls Royce, has been at the top of the luxury car world for a century but also there''s no denying what McLaren has accomplished in such a relatively short time, just 10 years and they've launched the . Yeah, they made the F1 in the mid 90's, which imo is the best supercar ever made. It changed the game so much and had such a fresh perspective that no other car will have that big an impact again but also to become a brand that has the same prestige as Ferrari, Lambo, Aston, and even Bentley is truly remarkable in a decade of manufacturing road cars. N matter what you think of them there's no getting away from that, that is unless you want to be really argumentative I suppose. It's crazy to think that in 10 years McLaren have a current

I'm unfortunately not in the position to have to think about which one to get. Even so, I'd consider the Continental to be the real GT here. It ticks all the boxes of what a Grand Tourismo should be. Elegant, luxurious, capable of 1000s of miles traveling fast with the most confort possible, with great handling and daily usability if necessary. To me, that is the spirit of a GT.
