It’s official, Bentley are bringing back the Supersports nameplate to the Continental GT. The moniker is more than 100 years old now with its last appearance being in 2017 when the then Continental sported a 6 L W12 engine which put out 700bhp! The new model is set to follow in its footsteps, offering a luxurious and high performance experience in a lightweight grand tourer.
That iconic W12 engine has since been resigned to the history books so it’s likely that Bentley will instead use its twin turbo V8 powertrain which already puts out 771bhp in the Continental GT Speed! Not much is known so far but this new Supersports model is set to be quite monstrous, with aggressive bodywork and a rear wing to boot!
