The world's fastest and most powerful four-seat car, the Bentley Continental Supersports, has arrived in Singapore. Making its debut at the Fullerton Hotel on 16th February 2017, the third iteration of the Bentley Continental Supersports combines immense performance and unrivalled luxury in every way.
The Bentley Continental Supersports will have a limited run of only 710 units worldwide, symbolising the car's 710PS (700bhp) power output, 20 of which have been allocated for the Asia Pacific region with some customers having already placed deposits.
Putting out 700bhp and 1,017Nm of torque, the Supersports completes the century sprint in 3.5 seconds, on to a top speed of 336km/h. A redeveloped W12 engine with new high-performance turbos and engine hardware, alongside a specially calibrated and updated torque vectoring system - first introduced on the Continental GT3-R - allow the Supersports to be as agile as it is powerful.
Key to the Supersports' additional outputs are newly designed, higher capacity turbochargers and a revised charge-air cooling system, which create more boost and provide a 79bhp and 217Nm increase over the 2009 Supersports model - a 10 percent power-to-weight and 25 percent torque-to-weight ratio improvement.
A new torque converter, which locks up faster, also allows the Supersports to make the best use out of its enhanced torque figure and sprint off the line even more rapidly. High-performance carbon ceramic brakes with enhanced cooling and brake discs, which are the largest of their type in the world, provide excellent performance with minimal fade under extreme conditions and rein in the Supersports' immense power.
They sit behind lightweight 21-inch forged alloy wheels and together offer a 20kg reduction in unsprung mass, making the Supersports the lightest ever iteration of the current Continental GT and lighter than the 2009 four-seat Supersports model. An optional titanium exhaust system offers a further 5kg reduction in weight, as well as a more intense audible experience.
Exterior changes on the Supersports include newly sculpted front and rear bumper designs incorporating a carbon fibre splitter and diffuser, new side sill extensions and bonnet vents also finished in carbon fibre, gloss-black front wing vents, as well as a new gloss-black rifled exhaust tailpipe design.
Inside, a host of bespoke styling details enhance the contemporary British luxury experience. A unique colour split has been created using three colours - the first tri-tone interior offered in this generation's Continental GT.
A new diamond-quilted design is incorporated in the seats and door side panels for a unique signature in Alcantara, while chequered Supersports carbon fibre fascia panels join the existing list of 10 veneers and technical finishes available.
An X Specification pack is available for customers seeking even more personalisation. It consists of eight unique duo-tone paint treatments, and carbon fibre door mirrors and heel plates. The titanium exhaust option is included in the pack, as is a carbon fibre finish to the interior side panels, a carbon fibre engine cover and a gloss-black finish to the 21-inch forged wheels. Pricing for the Bentley Continental Supersports starts at $1.15 million, excluding COE.
