What makes the Bentley Continental GT Supersports special?
The new Supersports is not just a style statement, but it offers a strong road presence with its unique aero kit. The front has big splitter with large aero dams forcing the air towards the brakes for better cooling and more performance.
On the side profile, it gets the special 22-inch Manthey forged alloy wheels, which are wrapped in the Pirelli Trofeo RS tyres, while the rear-end gets a big wing that adds up to 300 kg of downforce.
Moreover, it gets a carbon fibre roof, which further reduces the weight. On the inside, it gets bucket-type race seats on the front, while the rear bench has been removed, and so are the rear sound system and the rear door panels.
With all the weight saving, it tips just below the 2,000 kg mark, thus making it the lightest Bentley GT ever built. Additionally, it is 30% quicker than the standard GT, while offering up to 1.3 times more lateral force.
Engine specs and performance
Powering the Bentley GT Supersports is a 4.4-litre, V8 twin-turbo non-hybrid engine, which makes 657 bhp and 800 Nm of peak power and torque, respectively. It is the first Bentley GT to get a full-time RWD system as well.
With these numbers, it can propel 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, while the top speed is 310 km/h. It also gets a full-system Akrapovic exhaust system and a 48V electronically stabilised body roll control system.
Bentley has also tuned the steering wheel and the suspension setup, which cumulatively offer better handling and improved driving feel.
Only 500 units for the world
The Bentley Supersports might not be the quickest, but it surely is unique and feels special to drive. To further make it stand out from the crowd, Bentley has announced only 500 worldwide. The Supersports will go into production in 2026, and its deliveries will begin in 2027.
Bentley has started accepting pre-orders for the Supersports worldwide, and customers can choose from a long list of customisation and personalisation options.
