Bentley Continental Supersports revealed

Power of 700bhp under the hood and the capability to dismiss the 0-100km/h dash in just 3.5 seconds makes the Continental Supersports, Bentley’s fastest four-seat car

This is the Bentley Continental Supersports. It isn’t the first time the British car maker has used the Supersport epithet, having done that in the 1920s and then again in 2009. Both these cars were globally lauded during their time. So, when the uber-luxury car maker decided to use the name again, it had to be something special. What makes the Bentley Continental Supersports outstanding then? Bentley claims it to be their world’s fastest four-seat car.

The Continental Supersports comes with Bentley mighty W12 engine and in this state of tune it churns out, wait for it… 700bhp of peak power and 1,017Nm of max torque. It packs 79bhp and 217Nm more than the previous Continental Supersports. All this power takes it from standstill to 100km/h in just 3.5 seconds and record a top speed of 336km/h. To get this result, the car has been fitted with larger turbos and a revised charge-air cooling system.
