How’s this for a V12 showdown!
We’ve got Mat in an Aston Martin Vanquish, and he’s lining up against a Bentley Continental GT and a Ferrari 812 Superfast!
The question is, can one of these British brands take down the mighty 812? Let’s take a closer look at the stats…
Starting with the Aston, it’s powered by a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 that puts down 835hp and 1,000Nm. This power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed auto gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,835kg. New, it costs from £334,000.
Alongside it is the Bentley. It’s packing a 6-litre twin-turbo W12 under the bonnet, and this creates 635hp and 900Nm. This power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed auto gearbox. It weighs in at 2,169kg, so it’s by far the heaviest car here, and as new it costs £230,000.
Finally, we come to the Ferrari. It’s powered by a 6.5-litre NA V12, and this creates 800hp and 718Nm. It has rear-wheel drive, a 7-speed auto gearbox, and it weighs just 1,630kg. New, it costs from £253,000.
So the Aston has the most power, but will the lighter Ferrari snatch the win? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!
