UK Rivalry: Vanquish vs. Continental GT Speed
Two high-performance luxury models from two of the most famous British automotive marques face off.

They are two of the most recognizable and historic UK automakers that are still in business today. Each one has had its share of ups and downs over the decades, but today each one is doing better than ever. Want examples? Try the 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish and the 2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed. Each of these high-performance, ultra-luxury machines packs a 12 cylinder engine that produces more than 500 horsepower. Yes, they’re both silly expensive, but they look just so wonderful inside and out.

In this latest episode of Motor Trend’s Head 2 Head, host Carlos Lago gets behind the wheel of each one to determine a winner. Both are jam-packed with luxury features, but which is the better car for all-around daily driving? Which is better for twisty mountain roads? Check out the video to find out.
