Rob and Merc, FIGHT!!!!

Michael Menck is a wagenmeister in the noble hotel "four seasons" and knows itself out with luxury.


His unbiased () verdict:
"I would take the S-class." Why? Completely simply: "that has this incomparably beautiful star on the hood".

Bentley / MB
171,836 euro 151,130 euro
Topspeed: 312 km/h 250 km/h
0-100 km/h: 5.2 s 4.6 s

312 kph agains "just" 250...hmmm, I don't mind
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...

This article claimed the S600 was 1.4 seconds faster to 250km/h than the Bentley.

Sure unbiased ......ask the German valet

Seriously though, why would I fight with Merc1 about this -- I would still rather own an A8 ...and I would also choose the S class before the Bentley.

I would go for the S-Class! The electronic limit of 250 km/h isn't really a reason for not buying the S 600! And the acceleration is even faster - 4 seconds to 200 km/h is a lot...

but only 1.4 seconds faster to 250km/h, thats not much

That's right!! It would be interesting, how different the acceleration would be beyond 250 km/h...

"Aus dem Stand auf Tempo 200 spurtet der Mercedes 1,4 Sekunden schneller und stürmt brutal in den 250- km/h-Begrenzer."

It says the Merc is 1,4 seconds faster to 200 kph.

Hmmm... I will scan the AMS, where the S 600 and the Flying Spur were tested separate!

Just notice, that you shared the AMS data...

... I will scan the both articles anyway... ...because of the pictures and the rest of the data...
