Bentley has revived its Supersports name for a faster, lighter and more focused version of its Continental GT.
For the move to the Supersports model, Bentley has ditched the Continental GT’s hybrid system, leaving the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 to its own devices. The Crewe brand says that it produces 657bhp in total – down on the 771bhp in the hybrid Continental GT – while 800Nm of torque is also sent through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox directly to the rear wheels. This also represents a significant change from the all-wheel-drive Continental GT.
