I'd take the Azure over the S600 in a second! Big Pimp'n baby:coolguy:

Actually the S600 is 123K but that's not important. The azure is better in several aspects like quality and and as a status symbol. The S600 is also a sedan, maybe putting it up against the Rolls Royce Silver Seraph would be a fair comprison like they did in C/d mag or was that for the S8? Oh well Bentley is cooler.

The Bently!!
You didn't mention the torque, and the bentley has more than 600 lb-ft(!)
I would also get a Mulliner, with 420 hp and 650 ln-ft (more than any other production engine!)
It is so much cooler, nicer, and the 420 hp is just as fast, but has better acceleration when moving (thx to the torque) and it handles REALLY well

[enzo@af]

Tough call, but I'll say Bentley.

[Porsche]

Just wait until the Dodge Powerwagon is put into production, it makes 730Lbs/torque from and inline six! Bugatti's new w18 also makes 900 someodd pound feet of torque. I know though that Bentley do have high torque engines, it because they weigh like 3 tons.

[Chris]

True, but I don't think we will see the power wagon or that torque I6 (it ran on 'designer diesel', not currently at the pumps)
The Bugatti will cost a million bucks, but will be the best car in the world , no understatement.
Like I said, the Bently engineers are miracle workers, which is what makes them so desirable

I think this is a terrible comparison, you can't compare a mercedes to a freakin Bentley or Rolls-Royce
compare it to a BMW
like...... 750iL Vs. S600

That my friend is a GOOD comparo

[Heep]

I like a good 650 lb-ft convertible.

Shouldn't this be Arnage vs. S600? I'd still pick the Bentley, but those Benzes are some nice.

[Porsche]

You say those Bentley engineers are so desired? I agree with completely, but dosen't Rolls and Bentley use BMW engines? I know they didn't but some new contract is coming up and in 2003 I think BMW will stop making engines for both and someone will lose the rights to one of. Sorry for being so abstract I didn't thoroughly here about the deal.

I know what I'm doing here. The point was to see how a car that costs less could compare to a car that cost more. You have to admit, the S600 does a good job of that in the top speed category and 0-60 as well. As for comparing the S600 to the 750iL, the Bimmer just can't keep up.

[Heep]

The Arnage originally used a BMW engine, and it still does in the Arnage Green Label. People cried out for the old Bentley engine, so they put it back in and called it the Arnage Red Label. The Red Label is much more popular.

okay, here's another reason this comparo is bad...... you compared a Luxury Sedan to a Luxury Convertible..... why didn't you make it Azure Vs. CL or SL convertible.... or...... Bentley Continental Vs. S600

Yea I do agree, you're right about that. The CL would have been better although the CL600 and S600 share the same V12 engine.
