Bentley Continental Supersport

[Galaxy]

630hp. 800Nm of torque. It has the RWD biased AWD of the new Audis. The weight has been reduced by 110kg.

Not a bad way to top the Continental line before the replacement comes. The white paint does a good job of hiding the somewhat bloated styling.

Nice

How very un-Bentley.

Seats lifted straight from the Veyron with Audi drive train system and Mercedes styling lines

The two vertical grille slots make the car look like it's grinning.

I don't see the Mercedes styling, unless you're talking about it having 4 headlights and I see no need to get into that.

I tend to agree that it's a fat pig of a car, but with the Speed edition and then this they are trying to make it less of one.

The styling is formal in a way that Mercedes are often formal, but beyond that, I see no obvious plagiarism.

How very un-Bentley.

The 21st-century Bentley is for people who want the image of a car like a Rolls-Royce but can't be bothered to have any taste.

[CALL_911]

What's the point of this thing?

[Submariner]

It's still heavy...but they bothered to remove the rear seats?

Silly. 

[the Teuton]

Is this the end of the line model for this generation of the Conti GT?

[AltinD]

It's a GT car for god sake, not a Caterham7

A 4000 lb Phaeton w/racing seats yay

[SVT_Power]

Then why bother with a racing version?

Then why bother with a racing version?

Apparently you forgot about the most famous Bentley:



A HUGE racing car that prompted Ettore Bugatti to say "Bentley makes the fastest trucks in Europe."

Bentley has a long history of making ultimate sporting versions of it's big luxury cars, and making them work damn well indeed.

Because they can!

No, Bentley has a quite short history of racing their cars, it just happened a long time ago.

That's an acceptable excuse for the Arnage, but I have never felt like the Continental GT was a proper Bentley. I don't know why since at this point the Arnage probably has as much VW engineering as the Continental.

I did NOT say a long history of RACING their cars. Read it again. I said thay have a long history of making ultmate sporting editions of its big luxury cars. A significant difference. Some of their cars have indeed been racing cars, but making fast versions of luxury sedans is definitely thier history right from the start. WO Bentley determined that a Bentley should offer a blend of speed, strength and quality unrivalled anywhere in the world. This new car is a perfect example of his original philosophy.

Agreed.

But the removal of the rear seats is still stupid.

Man, reading comprehension is a big problem on these boards.
