Did anybody watch Battle of the Supercars on Speed? DBS Carbon Black vs Bentley

 

Missed it but just set it to record on 9/2 at 10pm (DirecTV).

 

I watched it...

The Aston was BEAUTIFUL. Unfortunately could not keep up with the Bentley's torque but showed the heavy Bentley "who's boss" on the braking and road course.

I like the show...

Here you go...

 

Quite honestly I was a little disappointed to see the Bentley man handle the Aston in just about every power test.

 

There you go!! The full thing

 

When I watched this, I was shocked to see how easily the overweight Bent walked away from the DBS in all the acceleration events. Very disappointing.

 

Don't be shocked, let's try to convince Aston Martin to place twin turbos on top of the DBS V12, and let's try this one more time hahahaha

 

Yeah that's for sure. If they aren't being competitive with naturally-aspirated engines (and they obviously aren't), then they NEED to look at other options. See this Dr. Bez? AM now stands as the slowest of all English brands...behind Bentley, Jaguar, McLaren, Lotus, and even Rolls! That's sad considering that 15 years ago they made the Vantage with twin superchargers...it made 600 hp and was faster to 60 than the current DBS or V8 Vantage.

I've said this before and I'll say it again...considering the price range and competition, Aston Martin needs at least 500 hp from the V8 (but 550+ would be better) and 600 from the V12.

I have over 600hp in mine and it's great. The car can handle it easily. It doesn't even take that much boost. Why AM won't come out with a supercharger for for this car is beyond me. They apparently happy getting lapped by everyone in the world.

 

Suprising results, but what a blast it must have been.

 

Ive driven both and the Bentley SS is hands down the better car, night and day faster... I love the DBS but it is soooo lacking in power it is sickening...
