Bentley’s latest and most exciting model yet, the Continental Supersports, is not just extremely fast, but visually unique as well.
The two-door Bentley’s appealing shape, which is characterized by the three lines that make any Continental instantly recognizable, is highlighted by the company’s chief of Exterior Design, John Paul Gregory in a new video.
“The exterior styling changes for the Continental Supersports have been introduced to follow a function. To cool the immensely powerful engine we have introduced bonnet vents to enhance air flow. To improve aero dynamism we have introduced a rear spoiler“, Gregory says.
Unveiled at the beginning of January, the all-new Bentley Continental Supersports needs just 3.5 seconds to reach 100 km/h (62 mph), and will top out at 336 km/h (209 mph). Power comes from a W12 engine which delivers a mind-blowing 710 PS (700 HP) and 1,017 Nm (750 lb-ft) of torque.
With more power on tap than a McLaren 675LT, the Bentley Continental Supersports also benefits from the torque vectoring system of the GT3-R, carbon ceramic brake discs, and 21-inch forged alloy wheels, in addition to an optional titanium exhaust system.
