Bentley Unveils Continental GT Supersports Marking 100 Years of Iconic Nameplate

Bentley has unveiled the Continental GT Supersports, its most intense driving icon, to mark the 100th anniversary of the brand's most iconic "Supersports" nameplate.

The Continental GT Supersports is Bentley's fourth Supersports model and the most powerful vehicle in the current Continental GT lineup. The car was developed to deliver extreme appeal across multiple dimensions, including rear-wheel-drive layout, weight reduction, and "sensory satisfaction for the driver."

The exterior design follows the principle of "form follows function." Extensive carbon fiber elements have been applied to achieve weight reduction and maximize downforce. The new body kit adds the largest front splitter ever fitted to a Bentley road car, enhancing both visual appeal and functionality.

Carbon fiber dive planes, side sills, fender blades, rear diffuser, and a fixed rear spoiler maximize aerodynamic efficiency. These elements generate more than 300 kilograms of additional downforce compared to the Continental GT Speed while maintaining the vehicle's lift balance, complemented by lightweight construction and a low center of gravity design. The 22-inch forged aluminum alloy wheels, co-developed with Manthey Racing, further emphasize the vehicle's performance direction.

The interior has been reconfigured from a 2+2 seat layout to a two-seat arrangement. In addition to enhanced body rigidity, 11-way power seats provide more solid support for the driver during spirited driving. The vacated rear seat space features a shell crafted from carbon fiber and leather. Luxury has not been forgotten—leather, Dinamica, and high-gloss carbon fiber veneer are used extensively throughout the interior to emphasize the performance-oriented atmosphere. Customers can choose from monotone and duotone options, as well as a new unique tritone color package with various detail options.

The most powerful performance in Bentley's history comes from pure internal combustion without electrification. A 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine produces maximum output of 657 horsepower and 81.6 kilogram-meters of torque. An eight-speed dual-clutch transmission supplied by ZF and the rear-wheel-drive layout deliver sharper and more agile driving dynamics.

The V8 heart features a stronger crankcase, upgraded cylinder heads, and larger turbochargers to achieve intensity through internal combustion alone. An electronic limited-slip differential and Akrapovič titanium exhaust system add to the thrills. The car accelerates from standstill to 100 kilometers per hour in just 3.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 310 kilometers per hour.

The Continental GT Supersports will be hand-built in a limited run of just 500 units worldwide. Pricing varies based on customer selections through the Mulliner program.
