Take a look at the performance figures of AMS:

Bentley / Merc
560 hp / 517 hp
650 Nm / 830 Nm
2480 kg / 2302 kg
312 kph / 250 kph (delimited: over 300 kph)
0-100 kph: 5,5 s / 4,5 s
0-160 kph: 12,3 s / 9,9 s
0-200 kph: 19,2 s / 15,1 s
Slalom: 59,6 kph / 60,2 kph
70 dB(A) @ 180 kph / 72 dB(A) @ 180 kph
100-0 kph (warm): 41 m / 39 m
17,0 l/100 km / 18,2 l/100 km

...and the S600 looks better IMO...
are you sure your figures are correct -- are you quoting S65 numbers? The S600 reaches 0-100kph in 5.51 sec. The S65 does it in 4.4

Re: Autobild: Bentley Continental Flying Spur vs MB S 600

Has anyone got the official S600 figures? (from Mercedes-Benz)

This isn't making any sense to me then. The Flying Spur was officially the fastest saloon in the world untill the W221 S65 (and Maybach 57 S) -- I just assumed this included acceleration too.

Re: Autobild: Bentley Continental Flying Spur vs MB S 600

I'm confused. According to Autoweek the S600 is not as quick as in AMS's test.

Re: Autobild: Bentley Continental Flying Spur vs MB S 600

Wow, the S600 torque figure is crazy, one would not believe that the car is that fast.
As for the comparison itself, the Flying Spur does look more exclusive in the pictures and has that Ritz Carlton aura around it.

Thanks DeDe. I had no idea the S600 was this quick --
