The Bentley Super Sports: A Hardcore Conti GT That Thinks It's a Ferrari
This Bentley Super Sports is an extreme, driver-focused version of the Continental GT. It's rear-wheel drive, almost 500 kg lighter than the base model, and designed primarily for one thing: drifting.
Key Features & Tech
- Powertrain: 4.0L twin-turbo V8 with 666 PS (658 hp) and 590 lb-ft of torque.
- Weight: Just under 2,000 kg (4,409 lbs) – the lightest Bentley in 85 years.
- Lightweighting: Titanium Arapovich exhaust, carbon fiber roof, carbon front splitter, 22-inch forged wheels from Mantic Racing (Porsche).
- Interior: Strictly a 2-seater. Elegant but stripped: diamond-turned aluminum dash, no excess luxury.
- Chassis: 48-volt anti-roll system, rear-axle steering, revised air dampers. No hybrid!
- Brakes: World's largest carbon-ceramic brakes (440 mm front, 10-piston calipers).
- Price & Rarity: From approx. £343,900 (€410,000), only 500 units.
Driving Impressions & Comparison
- Dynamics: Extremely sharp, controlled, and agile. Up to 1.3 g lateral grip on Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS tires.
- Fun Factor: Thanks to rear-wheel drive, you can drift controllably in almost any gear –
