Bentley Supersports model development

Overview

Bentley has introduced the new Supersports, a model based on the Continental GT Speed that prioritizes an analog driving experience by removing plug-in-hybrid systems and all-wheel drive. The vehicle features a 4.0-liter V8 engine producing 490 kW (666 hp) and is priced at 420,000 euros.

The brand is expanding this high-performance line with the development of a Continental Supersports Convertible, which has been spotted testing with a retractable fabric roof and specialized aerodynamic elements. Additionally, Bentley is producing a limited run of 500 rear-wheel-drive Continental models. These limited vehicles focus on weight reduction and driving purity, featuring a carbon fiber roof and a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 delivering 657 hp.
