Late last year, Bentley revealed its new and improved Supersports car. Hailed as the most dynamic car in the brand’s history – yet staying true to its unmistakable design and engineering – the limited run of 500 units was quick to sell-out, with motorsport enthusiasts vying to get their hands on the coupé months before its production.Taking a closer look, the striking new Supersports delivers 666 PS twin-turbo V8 engine, without a hybrid system. In addition to its pure gasoline performance, the model comes as the first Continental GT to weigh less than two tonnes and the first with a rear wheel drive, putting the driver in full control of its agility and aerodynamic power.
