[Video] BMW 8 Series M850i vs Bentley Continental GT

Both the BMW M850i and the Bentley Continental GT are big, sporty grand tourers that offer comfort and luxury. The Bentley may be the more luxurious car here, which is super understandable based on the six-figure price difference, but it’s interesting to see how similar the two cars are in speed and performance. The BMW M850i uses a 4.4 liter twin-turbo V8 making 523 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque taking it from 0-60 mph in about 3.5 seconds. The Bentley on the other hand has a 6.0 liter twin-turbocharged W12 and makes a monstrous 626 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque, which hits 60 mph just a bit faster than the BMW. Despite the power difference, the performance is so similar! Watch here.
