How well does a GT handle

The Gt Is very heavy and does not handle as well as the S8 or M6, however I test drove the M6 and GT on the same day... A world of difference!!! The Bentley is in a different world of luxury. I personally found the m6 dissapointing, as it was very similar to my M3, sine it has more power, but is a lot heavier... Bentley is also a "Bentley" not a BMW... I bought the Bentley!.

Just food for thought.

for a luxury car it handles good for what it is. however, M6 can probably run circle around it. imo Bentley CGT handles just like Cayenne Turbo but much lowered. it's actually heavier than Cayenne so u know what to expect. i like the solidness of CGT. feels very safe to drive.

Thanks. Interesting note re comparison versus the Cayenne - I would love to know more - I have sworn off SUVs having tired of the body lean and what I personally feel is a delayed turn in at speed as a result of the higher center of gravity, but would love awd.

It handles really well for 5300lb car! It really doesn't feel like it weighs as much as it does.
