Bentley Vs Rolls Royce!!!!!!!!

[<<CAR EXPERT>>]

DECIDE, which one is your favourite¿?¿?¿?¿?¡



for me
Bentley

[Wouter Melissen]

The 1920s Bentleys are right up there with Bugatti and Alfa Romeo, but were probably even more sophisticated than the aforementioned. WO Bentley was a genious. Just look at how long the Jaguar XK engine survived.

[whiteballz]

i think bently... im not sure why!

[ace]

I will go with the Rolls Royce if you got the money you may as well get the driver and the rolls to stand out in the pack. :cool:

[Hispano Swissa]

Pro Bentley in the pre-1939 context.

[byronleehk]

Rolls Royce for their "class" but Bentley for their 'performance' (vs Rolls) :)

Gentlemen, the Bentley Hunaudieres:

Engine: 8-litre, 64-valve, 16-cylinder aluminum "W16" (4 rows of 4)
Valvetrain: 4 valves / cylinder
Displacement: 8004 cc / 488.4 cu in
Power: 464.6 kw / 623.0 bhp @ 6000 rpm
Torque: 760.6 nm / 560.9 ft lbs @ 4000 rpm

[shaht]

I'm for bentley as well, may be I will turn to Rolls when Im over 50.
But still I cannot imagine myself owner of any one of them untill I die...... or may one day, :p LOTO exists....

Get your finger(s) out, stop pissing money away on that rubbish Bugatti, and plough it into this!

Germans eh? Beat them in a few Le Mans and they start holding grudges!

[mattgras1124]

Bentley offers more options, better performance, lower prices, and more models. It's also a more practical car.

haha, couldntve put it into better words myself :D :D

[henk4]

since RR is being totally abused by some Bavarian megalomanics, this is no longer a question.

[Superchargedgal]

Bentley every time, style quality, and perfoemance. Just look at the photos of The 'Blue Train' Special built by Bob Petersen Engineering at the Concours de Elegance event in Germany 2003 up alongside the brand new Continental GT, stunning! :cool: From Pre-War to modern Bentley is th winner every time.Photos of the 'Blue Train' Special (http://www.bobpetersenengineering.co.uk)

[Mustang]

Ha wow only 2 posts and they are exactly the same ^^^^


i would go for bently every time :)

[MrVette83]

I'd go for Bentley for the simple fact that as I heard it said one time before:

"Bentley is a car that is meant to be driven while Rolls-Royce on the other hand is a car that is meant to be driven in."

My vote goes to Bentley on this one.

[NAZCA C2]

Don't like either! I'd rather have a drivers car instead of a house on wheels.

[Zebazy]

Bentley Rules!!!

This thread is more than a year old. :rolleyes:

[Cotterik]

rolls royce anyday. True britishness. Powered the fighters in the war, and bentley is hardly british anymore..

[Jack_Bauer]

And Rolls-Royce are?! ;)

[Esperante]

Unless you've got some weird thing for the modern Silver Cloud, I can't understand why you wouldn't prefer Bentley, as Bentleys, up to the modern Continentals, are really just beefed up Rolls.

[Sauc3]

Bentley overall, but if the 100EX does happen to get made I might change my mind. Probably not though :p.

[scientific]

hmm good question bentley thats my awnser........

[1800tu]

Bravo 'henk4'.

[Captain Slow]

Bentley, an early Active Ride Turbo R for preference.

[cargirl1990]

Bentley. cuz stainless steal hoods are too cool for me.

[DesmoRob]

Years ago, when I first got into cars, I honestly couldn't tell the two apart from one another. Now? I say Bentley. I love the Conti GT.

All was well until the last sentence... :p

[DesmoRob]

lol, I'm no fan of massive executive yachts on wheels. Rolls has yet to come out with a modern grand touring car. When that day comes, I might just change my mind ;).

[clutch-monkey]

all bentley came out with was a rebadged VW..?
and an evolution of the arnage.

[DesmoRob]

And who cares? It's still got a Bentley badge, it still hauls a$$, and its indisputably cool looking. Would have it over any Rolls.

[clutch-monkey]

the arnage, yes; the conti looks half melted with some stupid gopping grille slapped in it's face. disaster!

[DesmoRob]

the arnage, yes; the conti looks half melted with some stupid gopping grille slapped in it's face. disaster!

lol, well its all a matter of opinion. I think it looks dead sexy, but I can respect your melted glob theory too.

[clutch-monkey]

fear the melted glob! FEAR!

[DesmoRob]

fear the melted glob! FEAR!

When it goes as fast as the one in question, then yes. That is one glob you don't want to mess with.

[4wheelsonline]

Bentley Rules!!!

Bentley also here. :p

[Ferrer]

Exactly.

But the Arnage family is great. It's like the supercar for gentlemen.

[LTSmash]

Neither for me by today's standards; 10-15 years ago is a different story. They used to be a "gentleman's supercar" but now they seem like toys for gangsta' rappers and gawkers for pre-pubescent boys.

[Lagonda]

Rolls Royce. The new Coupé and Drophead are amazing.
I never liked the looks of the Continental GT.

But then we have the Arnage... which is made of pure win.

i agree. it can also be a ladies car too! ;)

[R34GTR]

Why argue over taste?

[JRodrigues]

Bentley, with out doubt, but they have to have this:

You spend the money to stand out, why not throw in some fractions to put the icing on the cake :p.

it is a nce car, but having stainless steel is like having your on of your kitchen appliances as a hood.

[DesmoRob]

Now, if only the car was mid or rear engined, all that space under the front hood could easily serve as a beer fridge. :cool:

That's what bentley and rolls have both been missing all these years.

[LeonOfTheDead]

what's wrong with steel?!

[cargirl1990]

what's wrong with steel?!

the steel is nice and all but it looks alot like a kitchen appliance on wheels to me. i more of a Bentley girl. my auto teacher has a 1989 Bentley Mulsanne Turbo R in black and in mint condition too and it is one gorgeous piece of machinery.

[Kitdy]

How the hell does an auto teacher afford a Bentley?

[cargirl1990]

How the hell does an auto teacher afford a Bentley?

i donno, he said a guy offered it to him for $20,000. his words not mine. i seen it myself and its gorgeous. and he's loaded.

[wwgkd]

Rich daddy. I'd say taking bribes for grades, but in auto class?

I still don't understand

[Ferrer]

I still don't understand
I guess she is referring to the bonnet of the Phantom Drophead, which can be had in stainless steal, and which I assume she doesn't like.

[LeonOfTheDead]

I thought that too.

[cargirl1990]

you guys are right. not a big fan of the Phantom Drophead. i find it odd to put stainless steel on a hood.

[Ferrer]

Being a Roller you could probably have the bonnet in any material you like...

[cargirl1990]

Being a Roller you could probably have the bonnet in any material you like...

true, true. but still....

[Ferrer]

I like the Phantom family for what it is. They are big and imposing, with excellent attention to detail and they definitely have a sense of occasion. They also hide their BMW connection very well.

They are not my sort of car, but they are proper Rolls Royces.

[DesmoRob]

In that case I'm ordering mine in cookie dough. :D

rolls for me also, the modern bentlys seem to be a VAG parts bin excercise where as the rolls is designed engineered and built as a proper rolls royce( no parts bin sharing!! ) perhaps even more so than the rolls royce's that were offer'd by Vickers before hand.

oh yes, no parts bin sharing...except for the engines (both), the chassis (Ghost)...
not saying the Phantom is an excellent car.

[kingofthering]

I'll take mine in paper mache.

Or I'll have mine made out of an engine - "Yo dawg I heard you like engines so we made your bonnet an engine so you can drive while you drive."

well no parts bin sharing with lesser models anyway!

hey, i can't help on thinking about this one.

since bentley and bugatti are owned by VW, is the engine from the bentley hunaudires the same as that found in the bugatti veyron? only without the turbos?

[LeonOfTheDead]

No, because while both were made out of two 15° V8', the Bentley has a 72° angle between the two engines, the Veyron has a 90° one.
Then I may have found the wrong sources. :p

[Lincoln79]

I've always been more of a Rolls-Royce guy. For a long time, the only difference between a Rolls and a Bentley was a slight difference in price and the fact that the Rolls had the nicer looking grill. Because of this, I could never understand why someone would want a Bentley. It seemed like "kissing your sister." Why spend $100,000 on a car with a cheaper grill when you can spend another $2,000 and have the ultimate? It just didn't make sense.

Of course, when you go all the way back to the roots of the two companies, you can see they have vastly different philosophies. The same thing shows through in the most current models. Total luxury with the Rolls-Royce, and luxury with spirited performance with the Bentley.

I guess I'm more of a purist, because if I had enough money to have exactly what I wanted, I'd buy a Rolls Royce for luxury and a Ferrari for sport. Bentleys are nice, but in my mind Ferrari is the ultimate sports car.

[ScionDriver]

Bentley all the way: Style, class and performance, you can't go wrong with that package.

There's always the grand tourer, which tries to blend both speed and comfort. And some of them are quite good.

[DesmoRob]

I really like how you think :D.

[aymami]

That depends on the epoch. The Silver Ghost was really an achievement. W.O. Bentleys are unsurpassable in the 20's. I do love very much the Derby Bentleys but Phantoms II and III are the best looking cars ever made. I wouldn't reject a Bentley continental of the 50's for all of the money. Instead I hate the current rolls royce's and mulsannes...

[zacara]

Bentley for me. They are totally inverted snobery. You know what you have and the rest of the world is not quite sure. The current RR is just plain ugley. They have lost it. Bentley still have style.
