Bentley Continental Supersports

Phenomenal performance of an astonishing 700 bhp (710 PS) Bentley

The new Continental Supersports takes the phenomenal performance, handling and speed of the first generation to new levels. The pure essence of Bentley, it is the most powerful model ever produced. Its supercar performance is the result of an astonishing 700 bhp (710 PS) harnessed with engineering innovations that include torque-vectoring developed by Bentley Motorsport.

The blistering acceleration and awe-inspiring top speed make it every inch a supercar. Bold body styling features – with carbon-fibre accents to front and rear. A large carbon-fibre rear spoiler adds to the high-performance characteristics and agile handling.

 

 

The world's fastest four seater

As you would expect from the pinnacle of the Continental range, the world’s fastest four-seater is the most powerful Bentley ever produced. Inspired by the Motorsports technology found indeveloped for the GT3-R, every aspect of its exceptional engineering has been designed to deliver unprecedented responsiveness and performance.

Powerful W12 Engine

The new Continental Supersports is built around the most powerful W12 engine that Bentley has ever developed, now producing a remarkable 700 bhp (710 PS) and 1017 Nm of torque. It is also the fastest Bentley off the blocks, accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds (0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds) to a blistering top speed of 209 mph (336 km/h), making it the fastest Bentley ever produced.

Torque Vectoring by Brake combined with a reduced unsprung mass increases responsiveness through corners for a truly performance-focused drive, working with the rear-biased torque split of the permanent all-wheel drive system that sends 60% of the engine output to the rear wheels. A Titanium exhaust system enhances the sound of the engine, highlighting its supercar capabilities. (Available as a cost option or as part of the Supersports ‘X’ specification.)

The Interior

The interior delivers a stunning race-inspired design in the form of a uniquely bold chequered carbon-fibre to the fascia plates, and a completely new three-tone interior colour split option. The new Continental Supersports is a rare pleasure – only a very limited number of these cars will be built.
