Bentley is synonymous with British craftsmanship and chauffeur-driven cars. But let’s be honest. Not every rich person wants to be driven around always. Sometimes, after dedicating half of a lifetime to amassing riches, you want to actually experience the luxury beast yourself, and that is what the Bentley Continental GT Supersports is for.
Billed as the most driver-focused Bentley ever, the Supersports takes the genteel grand tourer you know and turns it into something that looks like it escaped from a private track day that only oil barons and retired F1 champions attend.
A century after the very first Bentley Super Sports hit 100 mph, Bentley has resurrected the name for only the fourth time. This one is a monster. A rear-wheel-drive Continental GT for the first time. A curb weight under two tonnes. A twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 sending 666 PS (657 bhp) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of metal-twisting torque to the back wheels. The kind of numbers that make chauffeurs nervous and insurance companies pour themselves a drink.
The Supersports rockets from 0 to 62 mph (0–100 km/h) in 3.7 seconds and tops out at around 192 mph (310 km/h). More importantly, it is built to handle like a Bentley that suddenly decided to hit the gym. Hard. Lateral grip climbs to 1.3 g with the optional Pirelli Trofeo RS tyres. New 22-inch forged wheels from Manthey Racing, carbon-ceramic brakes, and an Akrapovič titanium exhaust turn the big coupe into a snarling, corner-carving brute.
Exterior changes are not for show. A front splitter so huge it probably needs a passport. Stacked dive planes. New sills, fender blades, a massive rear diffuser, and a fixed wing. All of it contributes to over 300 kg more downforce than the Continental GT Speed. Weight savings extend to a carbon-fiber roof and the deletion of the rear seats because the Supersports is allergic to unnecessary kilos.
Inside, Bentley replaces the back seats with a carbon-fiber tub and gives the front occupants deep sports seats set lower for a more immersive feel. Leather, Dinamica, and high-gloss carbon fiber dominate, with tri-tone interiors available for those who enjoy matching their car to their tailored suits.
Only 500 individually numbered units will be made. Orders open March 2026, with production starting Q4 2026 and deliveries beginning in early 2027.
