The 700bhp Bentley Continental GT Supersports Is Here

Bentley has produced a 'Supersports' version of the latest W12 Continental GT, giving it a substantial increase in power and torque

The current Continental GT has been around a little while now. So, what has Bentley done to remind us all that it still exists? Make it into the fastest four-seater in the world, obviously.

The familiar 6.0-litre, twin-turbo W12 has been cranked up to 700bhp and 750lb ft, an increase of 79bhp and a monstrous 160lb ft over the first-gen Supersports. Crikey.

Despite weighing about the same as a small house (2280kg, to be exact), the GT’s newfound thrust will take it from 0-62mph in 3.5 seconds (exactly the same as the Aston Martin Vanquish S), on to a top speed of 209mph.

Bentley says that makes the Supersports the fastest four-seater in the world, but only just - the Ferrari GTC4Lusso has a top whack that’s just 1mph shy of the new Benters at 208mph. But still, that’s quite a claim, and the convertible version is the fastest four-seater drop-top in the world with its 205mph top speed. Impressive.

To keep that power in check, the Supersports has been given the torque vectoring by braking system from the Continental GT3-R. The four-wheel drive coupe’s suspension has been lowered and stiffened, too.

Meanwhile, the interior has been given a tri-tone quilted leather makeover, along with a smattering of carbonfibre pieces.

If you think that sounds all fine and dandy, you can place an order for this luxury cruise missile now. The coupe is £212,500, and the convertible £233,800. Both will be sold in limited numbers, with deliveries taking place later this year.

It’s basically just like the Veyron, it also had a Supersports version of.

At the very least, it’s still the most powerful four door sedan so I suppose that’s something.

Is it called the Continental because it weighs as much as a whole continent?

The front lip and the rear wing really ruin the look. But I reckon they’re necessary.
