Bentley Continental Supersports

The fastest most powerful Bentley in the company’s 90-year history

-- 6-litre W12 engine twin-turbocharged engine now produces 630PS (621 bhp/463 kW) at 6000 rev/min and 800 Nm (590 lb ft) of torque at 1700 – 5600 rev/min

-- 0 – 60 mph in 3.7 seconds (0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds)

-- 0 -100 mph (0-160 km/h) in 8.9 seconds

-- 50 – 70 mph in 2.1 seconds

-- 80 – 120 km/h in 2.6 seconds

-- Top speed of 204 mph (329 km/h)

Continental Supersports reaffirms Bentley’s environmental commitment

by pioneering the use of biofuel in the luxury sector

-- Capable of running on petrol and E85 biofuel or any combination of the two

-- Power and torque remain constant whatever the ratio of petrol to E85 biofuel

-- A Fuel Quality Sensor detects the blending ratio of the fuel in real time sending a signal to the engine control unit (ECU), initiating the correct engine mapping. This ensures all performance parameters remain balanced and consistent.

-- Offers a reduction in CO2 emissions of up to 70% (well-to-wheel), a measure of a fuel’s net contribution to the atmosphere, not just tailpipe emissions

Continental Supersports is the extreme Bentley,

delivering a highly focused driving experience.
