I fully admit the Bentley is amazing but I drove an S63 coupe for the first time and was blown away. I'm a valet at a nice restaurant that regularly has bentleys, rolls royces, and all the other luxury brands but the S63 coupe was one of the only cars ever that just left me stunned after driving it. Incredibly beautiful and smooth while retaining an element of subtleness. The dream GT for me!

The Mercedes for me, every time. The Merc is more beautiful, doesn’t look as heavy and brooding like the Bentley, the cabin is luxurious but also completely functional as opposed to the Bentley’s which looks like an old English mansion’s study. The Mercedes also wins on the technology, the latest driver aid systems help you on long drives. This is a comparison of the two wheel drive Mercedes with the 4 wheel drive Bentley. I think the tactile feeling of the Mercedes in 4 wheel drive versions would have been a better comparison.

S63 AMG is always better. Continental gt is also good. But not nearly as good as S63 AMG. I have driven both these cars. I felt that Continental gt has a stiff suspension which I didn't like. People say the throttle response is better with continental gt. But it has a slight body roll especially during cornering. S63 AMG glides over and we don't feel any discomfort. If comfort is your priority, go for s63 amg. Otherwise continental gt.

My mind has changed over the past couple of decades. A great GT car should be a supercomfy mile-eater. My favorite years ago when I did long, long road trips was a late 90s Mercedes S-class coupe. It's going to make me a laughing-stock here, but I honestly now think that the best long-distance car was one we rented last year to drive from Atlanta to Boston: a Toyota Sienna Platinum Hybrid AWD minivan with every sort of option one could possibly wish for. The super long wheelbase and crazy comfortable air-conditioned seats and superb sound system made it seem like riding on a 747. The range was something silly like ~650 miles or so. I know this will seem utterly declasse but being honest, of the cars that I've driven, for mega-long drives I believe I'd take that over a Bentley. Didn't drive as well as a Bentley but even so it was way better than I expected.
