Spy shots of Bentley Continental Supersports testing at Nürburgring
The Bentley Continental Supersports has been seen around the corners of the Nurburgring during testing. The model, whose W12 can also run off bio-ethanol, will be the fastest and most powerful Bentley ever built, thanks to its 630 hp and a top speed of 329 km/hr.
While these figures have been available since March, from the Geneva show, the Supersports has also remained unchanged in its style. The model at the show and the one that appears in these spy shots show the same air intakes, with an agressive look to the bonnet and nose.
The Supersports, in addition to being the top-of-the-range coupé for the company, also represents a forerunner to what will be an ecological move by Bentley. By 2012, all the Bentley models will be able to run off bio-ethanol. The Supersports sales will start next autumn, with a price as yet unknown, but likely to be around 250,000 euros.

10 Dec 2010 - 06:54 - #2The entire 2011 Continental model range, including the new Supersports Convertible, will be capable of running on both gasoline and E85 bioethanol, or any combination of the two, reaffirming Bentley’s ongoing commitment to make all its cars biofuel compatible by 2012. Pioneered by the Supersports Coupe, this FlexFuel technology offers a reduction of up to 70 percent in CO2 emissions on a ‘well-to-wheel’ basis, a measure of a fuel’s net contribution to the atmosphere, not just tailpipe emissions.
