Everything about the Bentley Continental Supersports was engineered
for a single purpose: to deliver the most thrilling driving
experience possible from a Bentley. The fastest, most powerful
Bentley ever, it features a significantly tuned, more powerful
twin-turbocharged engine and extensive use of lightweight
components throughout, including carbon fiber and Alcantara
interior trim, and the largest carbon fiber-reinforced silicon
carbide ceramic disc brakes on a production car. The result was
0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 204 mph.
In 2011, the original Supersports was joined by a convertible
version that lost virtually nothing to its coupe sibling; 0-60
still took 3.9 seconds and top speed was down by only two, to 202
mph.
This example was originally delivered by Manhattan Motor Cars of
New York to an owner in Michigan and has been a favorite occasional
driver during its well-maintained life in the Calumet Collection.
At the time of cataloguing it had recorded just 19,235 actual miles
and remains in outstanding condition throughout, and is accompanied
by its original handbooks.
This is a wonderful example of one of the most powerful and
exciting modern Bentleys - a true supercar, with comfortable room
for four!To view this car and others currently consigned to this
