Geneva 2009: Bentley Continental GT Supersports, Fastest Bentley Ever
How could Bentley possibly make the Continental GT more impressive? Well, this new Supersports version reads like a laundry list of answers to that question. First, they'd remove the rear seat, adding extra structure and some beautiful leather in its place. Then, they'd drop in a set of Bugatti Veyron seats and a touch of carbon-fiber. With the cabin dealt with, they'd add unique bumpers and exhaust, along with massive wheels and shadowline black trim. In all, the changes save about 243 pounds compared to a regular Continental GT.
The weight savings are then combined with a tweaked, E85-capable W-12 producing 621 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque and a modified six-speed automatic with gearchange times that are twice as quick as usual. The results are predictably fantastic, delivering a 0-60 mph time of just 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 204 mph. Wowza.
