2011 Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible
Bentley Motors has released the first footage of the fastest four-seat production convertible car in the world. The 202mph Supersports Convertible combines supercar performance with the craftsmanship and distinctive styling Bentley is renowned for.
The inspiration for the ‘Supersports’ name is the 1925 Bentley Supersports, a race-bred version of the iconic Bentley 3-litre, that delivered 85bhp when more ordinary cars were equipped with a modest 15bhp. It was also the first production car to reach 100mph – extreme performance in its day.
The new, muscular four-seat Supersports Convertible is unmistakably Bentley in its design and craftsmanship but its interior signifies a dramatic re-interpretation of Bentley luxury. Satin-finished carbon fibre, Alcantara™and ‘Soft Grip’ leather create a unique ambience with a distinctly sporting and contemporary style
The vehicle also underlines Bentley’s ongoing commitment to making all its cars bio-fuel compatible by 2012. The Bentley’s 6-litre, 621bhp engine is capable of running on petrol (gasoline), E85 bioethanol or any combination of these two fuels.
