My dad had two V12 Benz when I was growing up (an S600 and a CL600). The S600 with the M120 was our fav - same engine put in Pagani Zonda. That car made me realize how special a V12 is. The top end speed, the smoothness, and they're quiet but sound so good. I remember him drag racing at stop lights... People were so impressed and all wanted to see what a V12 can do. Engine was a rocket ship. The CL was a stunner, it had the M137. Nice car but that turned out to be a lemon. Rest easy pops, I miss you ❤

The amount of luxury is no where near close man. I've been in Bentleys, driven an Audi S8, BMW 7 series and own a new S580. The Mercedes crushes the other 2 in luxury and even the Mercedes isn't as luxurious as the Bentley. Bentley and Rolls are entire brands devoted to the utmost luxury. The GTC is just their 2 seater version with some extra power, buddy just got one and it's great for what it is but you compare it to an M8. BMWs entire brand is about being a driving machine, always ready for a track. Almost opposite of the Bentley brand
