Bentley Continental GT vs. Audi S8 Plus

Bentley Continental GT vs Audi S8 Plus Two car brands famous for performance and style.

Bentley Continental GT:

You won’t find a famous celebrity, be it a rapper, athlete, or even a business tycoon, who is a fan of luxury cars and doesn’t have a Bentley Continental GT in his parking lot. Goes to show the appeal and the pull that this car has and how attractive these millionaires find it. Of course, when you take into account its sleek metallic body, which is dripping with brilliance, a 521hp V-8 engine, and the ability to go as fast as 188mph in a matter of seconds, you have no doubt that the Bentley Continental GT is a step above the rest of the competition. Plus, its Bentley, you can always expect a smooth elegant drive from them. This beast of a ride is currently valued at $201,000. As a Bentley fan I would add that anyone looking rent a Bentley in Los Angeles CA, needs to check out the deals at 777 Exotics and get inside the Bentley GTC they offer. The power and refinement is similar to a Rolls Royce if it were to have a sportier cousin famous for performance and style.

Audi S8 Plus:

Not only reliable when it comes to being an elegant drive, but also reliable when it comes to making people go absolutely wild when checking it out, Audi S8 plus is the luxury car that redefines luxury like no other.

Equipped with a monstrous 605hp V-8 engine, 85hp more than the regular S8, hence the PLUS, a rear-biased all-wheel driving system that puts you at ease at all times, and being lightening quick with a top-speed of 190mph, the Audi S8 plus is an absolute steal at $116,000.

MERCEDES G550 VS G63 – The Los Angeles Gwagon Rental Comparison

COMPARING MERCEDES G CLASS RENTAL LOS ANGELES

white mercedes benz g550 corner view
Comparing Mercedes G Class Rental Los Angeles at 777 Exotics is powered by a 416 hp, 4.0 L twin-turbo V8 engine and a 610 N.m (450 lb-ft) of torque. This is an upgrade to the 5.5 L, naturally aspirated V8 engine in the 2015 model that could only manage 382 hp with 391 lb-ft. Mercedes G63 on the other hand outshines the G 550 with its newly upgraded 621 hp, twin turbocharged V12 engine, from the 563 hp, 561lb-ft torque in the 2015 model .

Comparing Mercedes G Class The G550 and G63 Engine

G63 and G550 Performance

G 550 does 0 – 60 mph in less than 5.7 seconds and a quarter-mile in 14.4 seconds at 97 mph. The G 63 model is, however, quicker than the G 550 hitting the 60 mph line in just 4.8 seconds and a quarter-mile in 13.3 seconds at 107 mph. It has a top speed of 130 mph and can brake from 70 mph to 0 in less than 163 feet while the G 550 needs additional 20 feet to stop from 70 mph. The G550 has an economical fuel consumption doing 15 mpg when compared to the G 63’s 13 mpg (owing to its large displacement engine)

SUV Transmission

Just like the G63 rental, G 550 has an All-Wheel drive system with a 7-speed automatic transmission. The G 63’s AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission features AMG shift paddles on the steering wheel and three driving modes with different accelerating and shifting experience. Both have three locking differentials for off-roading.

Suspension and steering on G Class Vehicles

They have live axles and coils up front and in the rear. Both the G 550 and G 63 latest models are equipped with optional driver adjustable dampers and have recirculating-ball type steering system.

Luxury G63 and G550 Interior Options

For the G 63, supportive comfy leather sets which are heated and ventilated are what ushers one in. The white illuminated stainless steel panels with AMG lettering hardly goes unnoticed. The G 63 boasts more than 120 cubic feet of interior space. The state of the art infotainment system has been redesigned to feature a large, center-mounted color display as part of the COMAND system with a multiple DVD player and controllers. The interior access and navigation system has been integrated with special off-road features also made available.
With an extra $ 149, 175, one can get carbon-fiber interior trim, rear seat entertainment systems with dual monitors, purple design mystic blue metallic paint, heated steering wheel, and an all-wheel floor matt. However, the legroom, headroom and the narrow cabin are not that impressive.
For the G 550, the cabin is laced with leather and though narrow, is upright. The infotainment system includes a TFT color display between two round dials and a tablet-style display for the standard COMAND system, merging navigation, entertainment and connectivity functions.

Mercedes G550 Exterior

The G 63 comes with an AMG sports exhaust system, almost similar to G 550’s dual side-exiting exhausts. Just like the G 550, the G 63’s suspension system settings are adjusted for more handling characteristics. It has a twin-blade radiator grill with four chrome inserts. Still on the front, the AMG G 63 bumpers have three large airflow inlets. The new LED daytime running lights are positioned just below the bi-xenon headlights.

The Mercedes SUV Dimensions

The G 63 is 79 pounds heavier weighing 5961 pounds. It is equipped with much larger brakes (14.8 inch and 13.0-inch front and rear rotors respectively) than the G 550’s 12.4 and 10.7 inch rotors due to its 20 inch tires which is an inch larger than what G 550 has.
