After a Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible, driven by Juha Kankkunen established a new land speed record of 330.695 km/hr on sheet ice, the company is announcing a special edition to celebrate the event. According to president Wolfgang Durheimer, a new special edition Bentley will be unveiled at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show.

It is apparently set to be the most powerful Bentley ever, with more than the 630 hp of the Supersports, and will be produced in about 100 units. No further details have been released, but we expect that the company had this one up their sleeve for a while. After all, you can hardly produce a special edition Bentley off the cuff a couple of weeks out from the show.

The Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible debuted this week at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and here’s the official video of the beautiful drophead convertible. The video was shot in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, although we prefer our model in white. We first saw the Continental Supersports Convertible back in March at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show.

It’s equipped with a 6.0-litre W12 turbocompressed engine and with 630 hp and 800 Nm, it’s the most powerful open-top Bentley to have been produced. It accelerates to 100 km/hr in just 4.2 seconds and has a top speed of 325 km/hr. The Supersports model has been modified to work with bioethanol as well, as a preview to changes to the Bentley range coming in 2012. Check out all the lovely pics below.
