Exactly 100 years after the very first Bentley “Super Sports” shook the motoring world, the iconic nameplate returns\u2014more extreme, more focused, and more unapologetically pure than ever. This is the fourth Supersports in Bentley history, and without question, the most radical Continental GT the brand has ever built.<\/p>\n

With rear-wheel drive, two seats, and a curb weight under two tonnes, the new Continental GT Supersports marks a decisive shift toward driver engagement over top-speed chasing. This is Bentley at its most daring: a super-GT engineered with the intensity of a track weapon, yet wrapped in the unmistakable craftsmanship of Crewe.<\/p>\n

At the heart of the Supersports beats a newly strengthened 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 producing a wicked 666 PS (657 bhp) and 800 Nm. There\u2019s no hybrid boost, no electrified trickery\u2014just a raw internal combustion engine mated to an uprated eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox sending power exclusively to the rear wheels.<\/p>\n

The titanium Akrapovi\u010d exhaust system delivers a thunderous, entirely authentic V8 soundtrack, while the sprint to 62 mph comes in 3.7 seconds and top speed sits around 192 mph. But Bentley is clear: the headlines aren\u2019t the point. Engagement is.<\/p>\n

For the first time outside the brand\u2019s GT3 race cars, a Continental GT sends all its power to the rear axle. With a wider rear track, a bespoke eLSD, torque vectoring, and recalibrated rear-wheel steering, the Supersports is engineered for sharper turn-in, deeper rotation, and a level of driver control previously unseen in a Bentley road car.<\/p>\n
