The result is an all-wheel drive supercar that is faster and more agile than any Bentley built for the road. Its muscular exterior and distinctive interior styling is unmistakably Bentley in its design and craftsmanship.
This is a car created through the continuing desire to reach new limits. This is the Continental Supersports. The Continental Supersports represents a perfect relationship between engineering and design with the enhanced iconic GT looks reflecting and heightening the supercar performance.
The fastest, most powerful Bentley ever.
Performance
Refined, agile and stunningly quick.
The supreme potency of the Continental Supersports makes for an aggressive, driver centric car. Blistering 0-60mph sprint times and top speeds in excess of 200mph (320km/h) are not achieved by the impressive 621bhp (630PS) engine alone.
To achieve such performance, weight was reduced, suspension lowered and an advanced all-wheel drive system added to complement a 40:60 rear biased power delivery for greater stability.
Engineering
The Supersports philosophy.
Its aggressive, low muscular stance not only draws attention to the changes beneath the skin, but serves an equally important technical role.
The revised W12 engine, an advanced 621bhp (630PS) unit that spearheads the radical Flexfuel programme is allowed to generate its extra power and torque as dramtic vertical front air intakes distribute 10% additional airflow to the twin intercoolers.
Even the wheel was reinvented. The striking 10-spoke blade-like design drives airflow over the largest carbon ceramic brakes ever offered on a production car.
Distinctive styling for extreme performance.
Everything about the Supersports is engineered for a single purpose: to deliver the most thrilling driving experience imaginable.
Technology
An exhilarating driver's car laced with supreme potency, including levels of luxury, technology and comfort you would expect from a Bentley.
Practical driver aids abound, from keyless entry and ignition system through to Electronic Tyre Pressure Monitor (TPMS), which automatically warns you if a tyre is not operating at its correct pressure.
And for those relaxing journeys, revel in the brilliant advanced Infotainment system. Via the Infotainment console you can operate and adjust virtually every one of the key driving and entertainment systems within the car. From the DVD Satellite Navigation system with route guidance, through to the electronic climate control, suspension settings and ride height of the car, mobile phone directories and, of course, the audio entertainment.
At whatever speed you are driving, the Supersports works with you, thanks to technolgy that is invaluable without being intrusive. Be it the electronic cruise control, the electric park brake with move-off assist or even the optional built-in remote garage door opener. It all works seamlessly to provide a high level of comfort so you can focus on the thrill of the drive.
