2017 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL

This 2017 Bentley Continental Supersports is a particularly striking example of Bentleys most powerful and focused Continental of its generation, finished in Spectre with a contrasting black roof, bonnet and rear boot. The two-tone treatment gives the car a much more purposeful presence, complementing the Supersports sculpted carbon-fibre bodywork, fixed rear spoiler, aggressive front splitter, extended side sills and darkened exterior detailing.

Beneath the bonnet sits Bentleys 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12, producing 700bhp and 1,017Nm of torque. Power is delivered through an eight-speed automatic transmission and Bentleys rear-biased all-wheel-drive system, allowing the Supersports to accelerate from 060mph in just 3.4 seconds before reaching a top speed of 209mph. Carbon-ceramic brakes, torque vectoring and a lowered, stiffened sports suspension give this four-seat grand tourer the ability to deploy its performance with far greater precision than its size would suggest.

The cabin is finished in a dramatic black and red specification, with diamond-quilted hide upholstery, contrasting red piping and stitching, Supersports detailing and a chequered carbon-fibre fascia. The specification includes Naim for Bentley premium audio, heated and electrically adjustable front seats, a Supersports three-spoke steering wheel, Bentleys signature Breitling clock, keyless entry and ignition, satellite navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, front and rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera.

Having covered 37,500 miles, this Supersports has been maintained with a full Bentley service history up to its most recent service, which was carried out by a renowned Bentley specialist. It represents a compelling combination of genuine supercar performance, handcrafted luxury and everyday usability, with the presence and exclusivity that make the second-generation Continental Supersports such a desirable modern Bentley.
