Bentley: Sometimes even the world’s most luxurious car doesn’t surprise you as much as its new incarnation can. Bentley has once again added the Supersports model to its Continental GT lineup, but this time it’s a different story. This new Supersports isn’t just a fast car, but one for those who want to experience driving to the fullest.
New Supersports: More Freedom, Not Fewer Features
The previous Supersports, introduced in 2017–2018, was known for its W-12 engine’s sheer power. The 2009–2012 Supersports, which preceded it, was also distinguished by its 621 horsepower. But the new Bentley Supersports for 2027 has broken tradition and made a decision that makes it even more unique.
The new Supersports believes in the true thrill of driving, not the pursuit of power. That’s why the rear seats were removed to make the car lighter and offer more freedom.
The roar of a V-8 engine and the end of plug-in hybrids
This time, Bentley has taken a major step forward. The plug-in hybrid system has been completely removed from this Supersports. In its place is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine producing 657 horsepower.
While hybrid versions of the Conti GT offer more overall power, the Supersports takes a different approach—less machinery, more driver control.
The magic of rear-wheel drive for the first time in a Bentley
Since 2003, the Continental GT has always been all-wheel drive, but this is the first Supersports to run exclusively on rear-wheel drive. 590 lb-ft of torque is sent to the rear wheels, making every turn and every acceleration feel even more thrilling and pure. The transmission is an 8-speed dual-clutch system, tuned for faster shifts. An electronic limited-slip differential and torque vectoring on the rear axle make this a truly driver-focused car.
The car’s brakes are carbon-silicon-carbide.
The titanium exhaust is from Akrapovič, which is not only lightweight but also delivers a powerful sound. Bentley’s 48-volt active anti-roll bars, air suspension, and four-wheel steering make it a balanced, comfortable, and sporty vehicle at the same time. The three unique driving modes Touring, Bentley, and Sport have been newly tuned for the Supersports.
