A Century of Performance Returns in a New Form
Bentley has unveiled the new Supersports, the most driver-focused Continental GT in the brand’s history. Marking 100 years since the original “Super Sports,” this new model embraces a purist philosophy with rear-wheel drive, sub-two-tonne weight, and an exclusive production run of 500 individually numbered units.
666 PS Twin-Turbo V8: A Mechanical Masterpiece
At its core lies a strengthened 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 producing 666 PS and 800 Nm, achieving the highest power density of any Bentley engine to date.
A full titanium Akrapovič exhaust amplifies the car’s emotional character, delivering a deep and authentic soundtrack.
The car accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and targets a top speed of 310 km/h.
The First Rear-Wheel-Drive Continental GT
For the first time in Continental GT history (excluding GT3 racers), the new Supersports adopts rear-wheel drive. A recalibrated eLSD, torque vectoring, and rear-axle steering create sharp turn-in and exceptional stability, while three ESC modes allow drivers to choose between full assistance and full control.
With new Manthey Racing 22-inch forged wheels and optional Pirelli Trofeo RS tyres, the Supersports achieves up to 1.3g of lateral grip.
Bentley’s Lightest Car in 85 Years
A dramatic weight-reduction programme makes the Supersports nearly 500 kg lighter than the Continental GT, bringing total mass below two tonnes.
Key contributors include:
- ICE-only powertrain and RWD configuration
- Carbon-fibre roof
- Two-seat conversion and reduced rear insulation
- Extensive use of carbon-fibre aero components
- Forged wheels and carbon-ceramic brakes
Aggressive Aerodynamics with Purpose
Every exterior design element serves a functional purpose:
- The largest front splitter ever fitted to a Bentley road car
- Stacked dive planes
- New side sills and B-shaped fender blades
- New rear diffuser and fixed rear wing
Together, they generate over 300 kg of additional downforce compared to the Continental GT Speed.
Two-Seat Motorsport-Inspired Interior
Inside, new lightweight sports seats sit lower than ever, while the rear cabin has been replaced with a carbon-fibre and leather shell.
The cabin blends leather, Dinamica, and high-gloss carbon fibre to create a refined performance environment. Customisation extends to monotone, duo-tone and unique tri-tone configurations.
Exclusive and Highly Bespoke
Each of the 500 cars will be individually numbered.
Paint options include 24 performance-focused colours, Mulliner matte finishes, and bespoke striping themes such as “Nightfall” and “Daybreak.”
Interior personalisation spans 22 main hide colours, 11 secondary hides, and a range of veneer materials including Piano Black, Diamond Brushed Aluminium, and Engine-Turned Aluminium.
