Sometimes, you can dress up your car with just about any set of custom wheels and it will still look good.
Such is the case with this, the long-retired Bentley Continental GT Supersports. This car came out back in 2009 and kicked a serious amount of behinds in a straight line, thanks to its 6.0-liter W12 engine, rated at 630 PS and a whooping 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque.
The Supersports could accelerate from sitting pretty to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.7 seconds, which was very impressive…for 7 years ago.
It also ran on both gasoline as well as biofuel (E85 ethanol), and if you wanted to take it to its “breaking point”, you could push to 160 km/h (100 mph) in 8.9 seconds and then all the way to 329 km/h (204 mph). It was the fastest and most powerful production Bentley ever, as well as the best-handling Bentley – able to deliver 1.29g on a 91 meter-long (300 ft) skid pad.
Of course, the car did very well for itself in the looks department, considering its big, wide and muscular appearance. It was certainly more aggressive than any other Continental GT of its era, and you’d be hard pressed to find many models today that look as mean as this.
Actually, it might be a toss-up between the Supersports and the Continental GT3-R, but we’ll let you guys decide which is the better-looking of the two. As for the wheels, they’re the same Vossen VFS2s that we saw on this C-Class a few months back, though obviously much…much larger.
