Bentlley Supersport

[kent_andy]

Anyone driven one?

Im looking for a convertible, had a Aston DBS volante over the long weekend and was left very disappointed. Its not that quick, it likes to try and step out and kill you and the build quality is shocking, certianly not worth the 100k price tag in my eyes.

IDeally need room for 2 adults and two small kids (2+5), 911 turbos dont do anything for me, but ive only driven the PDK ones and i hate PDK in a fast porsche.

I used to have one (albeit in dubai) I loved it, smooth, comfy with with plus 1 but when you wanted to fly it picked itself up and hurled you down the road, mine was only the v8 though but with pretty much all the toys

991.1 GTS manual? Probably like rocking horse <beep> though.

good to hear a positive bentley review.

GTS i havent driven, but 911s dont really do it for me anymore. the challenge ive got is icould get a decent C6 and a M4 cab for the same money as the bentley, problem is i wont keep my license if i get another C6, its a miracle i kept it whilst i owned my last one, plus i dont need bootspace. just room for kids in the back,

A friend traded his Aston 4.7 Vantage for a W12 Supersport Coupe and moved it on after less than 6 months. When he took me out for a ride in it, I was underwhelmed and the build quality was quite poor, lots of rattles.

that seems to be the standard reply from people ive spoken too that have had bentleys, buidl quality isnt what you expect from a handbuilt car. The aston DBS that i had for a weekend was very shoddy.

struggling on where to go next really. A ferrari FF would be nice but still a leap to far

Dare I say it - an M6 'vert - a remap would give you 640PS. Otherwise, a 2nd-hand XKR-S piss'n'slippers?!?!
What else is there? Merc SL63/65? Maserati Grancabrio?

First world problems...

XKR-S or XKR Dynamic a good shout

As is a M6 vert

GranCabrio also

[bam_bam]

I think the GranCabrio would be as slow as an Aston... ne?

[kent_andy]

M6 vert is a good call, hadnt thought of them!

i drove a XKR and it was a bit piss and slippers, if an F type had back seats then that would be a winner.

the hunt for an M6 begins then, but im trying to drive a supersport this weekend so i can make my own decision on that too

[kent_andy]

haha, ive enquired about that one.....you know me too well ozzy.

they depreciate fast those M6's! very mappable as well by looking on the net
