| Morgan Aero 8 vs Bentley Continental GTC - AutoExpress
" Yet for these small companies to remain stable in the current economic climate, both have sought external help. Bentley is now owned by the VW Group, while Morgan uses BMW’s engine and transmission technology. Has this German input diluted the traditional British appeal of these two drop-tops?
The marques claim not. Each is still built in the UK – the Bentley at Crewe, Cheshire, the Morgan at Malvern in Worcestershire – and both remain true to their original philosophy. The GTC, which is based on the Continental GT coupé, is a luxurious yet sporting grand tourer, the two-seat Aero 8 a traditional lightweight roadster with modern underpinnings. However, the differences don’t end there. The Bentley seats twice as many people and is twice as heavy, powerful and expensive as its rival. But does that make it twice as British? Or, for that matter, twice as good?" More at SuperCarZone
